PROPOSED 2006 AMA FLAT TRACK RULE CHANGES ANNOUNCED
28 July 2005 - AMA Pro Racing

AMA Pro Racing has announced the proposed technical rule changes for the 2006 AMA Ford Quality Checked Flat Track Motorcycle Championship.

AMA Pro Racing licensed riders and credential holders may comment on proposed rule changes during a 30-day period beginning Friday, July 29 through Monday, Aug. 29. Credential holders with RIDERS ONLY password access may also comment via AMA Pro Racing’s RIDERS ONLY website at www.amaproracing.com/ridersonly. At the conclusion of the 30-day period, AMA Pro Racing will review submissions prior to forwarding the package to the AMA Pro Racing Board of Directors for ratification.

Proposed technical rule changes for the 2006 season can be viewed at www.amaflattrack.com.

According to Merrill Vanderslice, AMA Pro Racing Director of Competition, the proposed rules for 2006 are straightforward.

“The recommendation to lower displacement has been discussed for the past couple of racing seasons and it’s simply an effort to reduce competitor costs by better aligning the class with readily available, production-based equipment,” said Vanderslice. “Ultimately it should also result in increased rider participation and greater involvement in AMA Flat Track racing between the various manufacturers. Similarly, the proposed rule to ensure that only traditional, rear-drive motorcycles remain eligible in AMA Flat Track is to prevent emerging technology from unnecessarily increasing costs and being a detriment to the balance of competition.”
