No points for the 250F class in Toronto?

Because of two reasons

exposure and experiance. not to mention I think the rules on eligibility are relaxed for the canadian round.

Canada races are not AMA races, but are CMRA races under the FIM banner

Willard would have won.

There is not much excitment around here for Tomorrows race I will be there, but I get the feeling, there will be plenty seats available

Forget no points for the 250f class looks like there isn't even going to be a 250f class period.

Direct Quote from the site "No AMA Supercross Lites race at Toronto, Ontario, Canada."

Then why have a Toronto ?

it's still an AMA race , just no regional Lites Class for the World rounds

You sure it's still an AMA race, Jay?

I thought it was CMRA/FIM

[quote="flarider":3u1sjs91]CMRA[/quote:3u1sjs91]


What's that?

Canada Motorcycle Racing assoc?

CMC is the most respected and well known, but CMRA is the Canadian FIM Charter

(I think it's called CMRA...damn alphabet soups)

Hasn't the AMA in a previous yr. had a round that counted towards just 250/SX class only and no lites/125's....
Like Chicago in '90s when JMG was still racing? Just ran big class, no support class or one that didn't count point wise..

Yes

I don't know how it all plays out but the sanctioning is combined for all the rounds.

I think the issue with the Lites is they will have Local Support races when they go Over Sea's because LN plans to assist with Travel expenses for the 450 Class.

CMRC (Canadian Motosports Racing Club) is the main MX sanctioning body in Canada, including the Nationals and National Arenacross series. The CMA (Canadian Motorcycle Assn.) is the FIM affiliate and is in control of the Toronto SX. Unfortunately, the CMA has virtually nothing to do with mx during the rest of the year. They fell out of favor many years ago when the CMRC came on the scene with more modern practices and forward thinking. They also refuse to give up the FIM affiliation.

Thanks, Terry....I got my letters mixed up

Damn Canadians!

I know eh? What the hell are you supposed going to do about them?

Why, you [b:v4kb6zhv]BLAME CANADA[/b:v4kb6zhv]!

Oh, and it's OK if you bomb the Baldwin's

Alphabet soup, good one. Been lost in that a time or too myself.

CMA is also responsible for our MXdN efforts, since it is the official FIM affiliate. They do a decent job with what they've got, but what they've got is damn next to zero. Heck, some of us here toured around the pits of a local race here a couple years ago with a MXdN donations coffee can. That's the kind of fuel our national team has needed the past few years. That and T-shirt sales. Kinda sad really. Blackfoot made a huge difference in the pits at Budds, but they stepped up because the race was so close.

Politics, politics.....

Does anyone know if that list is just a pre-entry or are those riders actually there racing.?? PITA picking lites riders for Motoxdream this week.

should have had another round in atlanta.

[quote="chuck317":uv1pvo8p]should have had another round in atlanta.[/quote:uv1pvo8p]
maybe next year

This round is the reason it is a combined ama/fim world supercross championship. Just like they took credit for the sucess of the buds creek mxon I am sure it will be a sold out stadium and every possible rider will attend. Youthstreem is the shit. Just ask them they will tell you. The DMG should make sure if the fim wants one round of mx1/2 on us soil it is the same fim/ama world mx title. There is nothing "world" in the sx series. Drop that shit already. The best racers move to the us and race in the us. It is only a USA title. Nothing more. If not then lets add a intercontinetial chamion title like the wwe. lmfao.

What does this have to do with Youthstream?
