District 36 Dirt Track Rules Change Proposals
ATTENTION DISTRICT 36 MEMBERS
I have submitted several rule changes to the District 36 Competition Committee, requested to be heard at our next regular meeting on Wednesday, January 18, 2012. I am providing a copy herein as a matter of public record and requesting any and all member’s input. (if you are not a current card-holding member, I would ask that you refrain from any dialogue on this matter on this thread…on the other hand, buy a $39 membership and be part of the fun!). Or fire up another thread and let it wail!
Here is a quick summary:
4.2.6: Change “450-Open” to “Open (minimum 349cc)”. Last year we brought many of our classes in line with the AMA. However, as was pointed out astutely by Tommy Knight, the new rule doesn’t allow the KTM (or other) 350cc bikes. We’re ahead of the AMA on this rule change.
7.4: Delete a sentence in this rule that isn’t pertinent to the section and refers to “semi-pro”. There is no “semi-pro” defined in District 36 or AMA.
7.4.7: Two years ago a rule was passed that would require a rider to compete in a minimum of 50% of each promoter’s races. During that time, younger and smaller promoters were struggling and they needed support. We now have more tracks and promoters and thus the rule, while serving its purpose at the time, is no longer needed.
11.5.7: Remove reference to “semi-pro” and clarify situation regarding money races and championship points.
11.5.8: Proposal to delete entire section as it is in direct conflict with AMA rules (AMA rules take precedence so this District rule is null and void). The AMA publishes a recommended payout schedule. No other district discipline dictates payout schedules.
So, tell me what you think, either in a post or in a private email to me (rkrumple@gmail.com) or any other district competition committeeman.
I thank you in advance for your participation in the continued development of our sport.
