Heard the AMA is charging $1000 per practice day at AMA sanctioned races starting this year...!
There goes the practice day before some of the AMA Events around here.... Texas Winter Series (Swan this weekend) and our Local Area Qualifier in May are not having a "Practice Day"
Anyone else canceling their practice days due to the cost - requirements going on now....?
Just curious....

It is an "Insurance Cost" issue....
Copied from the AMA "Resources & Forms" page....
AMA Preferred Insurance Program: The Association provides a Preferred Insurance Program as a service to all AMA Charter organizers. Use of the AMA Preferred Insurance Program is required for AMA Sanctioned events. The coverage and rates listed on the AMA Insurance Options form apply solely to sanctioned events described within the AMA and ATVA rulebooks. Coverage for ancillary activities, entertainment, or exhibitions held in conjunction with a sanctioned event is not provided, unless such coverage is specifically agreed to with the insurer in advance of the sanctioned event and designated on the event certificate of insurance.
Download the "2014 Motocross Competition Sanction Application" PDF here, page 3 show the insurance costs...

*4. Practice: Day before event = 25% of event rate and ambulance must be on site for practice for competition events.
For whatever: cost increase - issues etc., our local promoters have cancelled their day before the Area Q's practice day......

Just wondering if anyone else was doing the same (cancelling practice day) or being effected by cost increases?

They'll be out of business by 2016 easily.

I need to apologize here, my bad on “my” interpretation of the information I was told about the AMA’s new practice fee. I thought the AMA was charging $1000 for the practice day, which is wrong. The AMA does charge a 25% fee of the total insurance fees for the sanctioned event. So along with the “new 25% fee” and other costs involved our promoter has chosen to not have a practice day prior to our local area qualifier.
Hope this helps clear things up.
Just wondering how many other promoters are going to cancel their practice day prior to a sanctioned event due to additional cost….?
