Please note that everything is just a proposal at this point. Nothing is actually set in stone yet as they have to meet and decide just what they will and will not allow if anything.   Also I have nothing to do with these decisions only heard rumors like everyone else. If I gave the impression that I was part of the decision making or knew something more than is already out there I apologize as that was not my intent.

DO NOT make any changes to your bikes based on anything I said is what I am trying to say. Wait for the rules to be posted or build your bike to SCTA specs and hope that the AMA adopts similar rules.  That way if it does not pan out you can still run at SCTA events with what you got.

Today I received unofficial news that AMA will not be adopting new tailsection rules like SCTA, ECTA, and LTA.  They will be running it as a demonstration class only to test the waters.  Since I will be competing at Loring first, I will be completing my build to the new LTA, etc. rules.  I will wait for the official announcement, and whether I run or not depends upon how much, if any, they intend to charge for this "demonstration" class. I already have the record in my class and it is a large expense just to go.

That is a shame Tom. I was looking forward to running with a new tail at BUB this year. It seems odd that they will not conform to SCTA and other rules. That just means that AMA class records will be slower than the equivalent classes at other LSR venues. I can't think of any reason to not equalize the field. The AMA rules started out as a copy of the SCTA rules so why not keep up?

What is the "Demonstration Class" Is that a non record holding class?

Thanks for the notification. I will be waiting for the official rules to see what it actually says.

Tom, no more record chasing for me.  Now and just race for the thrill of going faster with FIM streamlining.  Do you know if that will work in the new demo class?

Don't know yet, Don.  Maybe that's an invitation to "Demonstrate."  Maybe we should start an "Occupy Bonneville Salt Flats" movement.

"Faster Horses, Younger...", never mind.  Yes, the thrill of going faster is what drives us, but it's always nice when there is an acknowledgement at the end of the day.

Damn thats a pity
Was discussing this with Charlie H at the Cook shootout as we cut into Richard Assens tailpiece
Maybe FIM will still adopt the scta type regs
