AMA Amateur Racing?

I thought amatuers earned "Pro Points" or some such that enabled them to get their Pro License. If there is AMA Pro Racing anymore and no affiliation with MX, and as many reports allude to SX will go away from AMA as well one way or another, how are these changes going to effect the transition from Amateur to Pro?

Yeh, I guess I am comfused a bit on the depth of the sale.

If the AMA basically is out of the Pro Racing business...ie National Motocross. Will they still be AMA events, using AMA rules, refereeing events, etc?

I guess I am confused as what all the selling of AMA Proracing effects.


If they are getting totally out of Pro Racing altogether, does this at all effect amateurs than will be transitioning to the Pro level?

[quote="jbomx363":3peb6mcc]No. The AMA is still the sanctioning body and everyone will still follow the AMA rules.[/quote:3peb6mcc]


Is the Daytona group stuck with using the AMA as their sanctioning body if they don't want to?

This is correct
DMG can do anything they want (pretty much) including rule changes

Like I said the other day, everything you knew is dead[/quote:74gjblz8]

Okay. That is what I thought and that is where my initial confusing question started from.

Since the AMA is "dead", and most if not all amatuer AMA based racing is geared toward turning riders ultimately in PROs via Lorretta Lynns, dictating bike sizes, to amateurs earning points for a "pro license".

My basic question, Is all that DEAD too? Will riders still be required to earn some "points" before they get their pro license, will DMG control the displacement on the bikes? Has any of this been addressed as of yet? The trickle down effect to the amateur level could be big.
