Get your motoamerica rules here !!!

I have a feeling that flyboy would make the cut, he can "afford it" I think he was just trying to get an idea of where the front of the pack might be at.

 

I don't see any reason why the pointy end pace will be much different than last season.

 

Thanks Derick! Was just curious. I figure if they keep they same cutoff in SB and the Jish Hayes isn't slower on the new bike you're looking at 2:22-23 at Road America. Guess what I'm interested in is Superstock qualifiying going to be based off separate SSTK times or SB. 108% or something different.

 

Not gonna pour over the pages to see, but did anyone else see the approved motorcycle list? Did I read that correctly? 2008-2011 Yamaha R6 homologation is expired? Or did I just misinterpret that?

I think you misread. R6 is Homologated 2008-end(meaning 2014) and 2012-present (updated parts). I read that as 08 and up are Homologated and some 2012 parts have been homologated for use.

 

Not quite sure that is how it reads.

 

I see it as 08-12 GONE! 12 with updated parts FINE.

 

I know for a fact that unless specifically allowed for in the rules, back dating of parts not allowed.

 

It reads to me that 2008+ R6's are definitely allowed. Just as Rob P stated.

Interesting to me that it has all the specific requirements that fuel must meet, but doesn't say anything about an actual spec fuel. Perhaps coming in the next round of info along with the tires maybe?

 

hell you can run a r6 from 06 to 14 well I am anyway.

 

There's a fuel spec in the rule book. The same spec as F.I.M. VP makes a fuel specific( VP Moto). Elf and Eni do as well, if there is not a spec brand announced then the F.I.M. spec will be the standard. It's there in black and white.

 

So as of yesterday, the 2015 licensing rules are up:

http://americanmotorcyclist.com/Libraries/Racing_Documents/2015_AMA-FIMNA_MotoAmerica_License_Eligibility_Final_1_9_15.sflb.ashx?download=true

Pretty straightforward - but I have one issue I wanted to ask about.

From section 5.b.:

I would imagine they specify the motorcycle eligibility just to keep someone from jumping from expert club racing a Ninja 250 straight to AMA 600's - makes sense.

I (tentatively) had planned to do my 3 race weekends and earn my 100 points in 2015 on my current 2006 R6, and then upgrade to a newer bike (probably just a faster, newer, set-up R6) for 2016, and race some SSTK600 rounds as well as more club racing.

Unfortunately, if you follow the rules literally, this will not work as my bike is too old to be eligible/homologated for AMA competition (which I understand, the 06 being no longer current), and therefore will not count towards my license eligibility.

Seems kinda dumb to me... is there any way around this, or will I simply have to buy a new bike a year before I can hope to race any AMA rounds?

 

Did you ask them?

 

par 3 d v. allows apllication for exception to new rider license requirements! lots of podiums?

Ah, didn't see that exception rule.

I'd imagine if I got everything in order for a license except for the year on my bike, they'd make an exception and give me one. I think I'll just bank on that.

 

You and everyone else.

So have we reached a consensus on the year of R6 that can be raced?

 

Just now reading through this thread completely, but I agree with this. I would like to see riders being able to choose their tire brand and/or be able to receive sponsorships from their tire brand...but every tire should be available to everyone.

None of this handing special tires off the back of the truck to certain riders kind of stuff. If you want to run Dunlops or Pirelli's, go for it...but everybody else has the option to run the same exact tires you are running.

 

Anyone know what documentation is necessary for the points? Just a printout from the WERA site or something more official from WERA? Hoping to live out a dream this year at Barber (possibly 1 or 2 other rounds) and with the rider requirements out now, I know what's possible. I just want to get my ducks in order so that I am ready once they are ready to license riders

 

Once the licence link becomes available on line there should be a form you would fill out and send to the club that you have the points with. They would verify said points and sign off on it. Then either return it to you or forward it to MotoA..

Some of the past AMA stuff also had to be notorized...
