sounds like the issue is with the rule book not the riders.
dont hate the players, hate the game.lol
250 lites would have a riders weight limit.
but on another note, if somebody told me i was not allowed to race a certain size bike that i thoroughly enjoyed,i would be pissed.
i miss the pro 125 class specialists, like barnett,etc!
If the Lites cllass forced guys like Hanny up to the 450 class, the 450 class would suck. Guys like Hanny won't ride mid-pack for too long when they aren't making enough money. They will secure a qualifying spot in the main and then just ride around for years and not take any chances.
Pit Row
The series (E & W SX 125 class) was originally for the privateers,less travel expense ect...
With larger teams (with huge budgets) like PC & Geico involved in the series still to this day and pretty much dominating it,
it really doesn't serve a purpose to have the series split into 2 in this day & age.
And really back in the day .....if you look at all the riders who ever won a 125/Lites championship,pretty much all of them were
factory/satellite factory supported guys,all the way back to 1985.So the true intent of the class was never even really there ,even in the box van days and it is definitely not there in the big rig days.
If they would get rid of the East & West and have 1 Lites series with 20 lap mains and get rid of the pointing out system.
Basically treat it as they treat the Lites class outdoors,no one would have any reason to bitch.
The SX series is professional racing at the top of the sport.
You should have to race who ever lines up,whether they are 10 year lites bike specialists vets,or first year pro blitzing fast wild rookies.
With a great AX series,that should be the learning series,stepping stone...
He's a pro rider
Pro riders should be able to race pro classes, whichever one they choose
If you're going to boot pro riders out of a pro class, like in amateur racing, don't call it a pro class, because all pro riders aren't eligible.
From the AMA SX rulebook:
d. Effective with the 2007 season points, riders earning at least
135 Supercross Lites Championship points in an nine-race
season, 120 Supercross Lites Championship points in an
eight-race season, or 105 Supercross Lites Championship
points in a seven-race season, in three seasons of Supercross
Lites competition will be ineligible for the Supercross Lites
class.
1. If the number of events in each of the Supercross Lites class
regions is different, the number of events used for points will
be based on the smaller number. (i.e. if there are eight West
events and seven East events, the West riders would throw
out their worst finish for a maximum total of seven events)
e. AMA Supercross Lites Regional Champions may defend their
championship’s the following season, with the following
clarifications:
1. Champions may ride either region the following year but
must only compete with the no. 1 plate when defending in
the region in which they won the Championship.
2. A rider that wins a Supercross Lites Championship will be
eligible to participate in the Supercross Lites class for a
maximum of three years total regardless of what year he/she
won the title. (i.e. if a rider wins the Championship in their
third year of Supercross Lites competition, they will be
ineligible for the Supercross Lites class regardless of points
and therefore not eligible to defend their Supercross Lites
Championship title)
3. After a rider wins a second Championship, in either region,
the rider will be ineligible for the Supercross Lites class,
regardless of points or number of years in class.
