The sanctioning bodies have allowed the 150r in the Schoolboy class, which has ruined it. We now have apples and oranges on the gate. The Schoolboy class used to be so cool because it was all 125 2t and boys that have just stepped off the 85. Now the problem isin't really the 150r, because unless it's factory built it's a turttle-not even close to being competative. The problem is that the ama let the two stroke superminis in with it, with max dicplacement of 125cc. The superminis weigh 50 lbs less and on average the kids riding them are 50 lbs less. Do the math on the power to weight! Now thanks to the ama "having to let that thing race somewhere" completely jacked up yet another class of racing. I've called and complained two years in a row on this problem and I've just been told that they have to let it race "somewhere". Now we really have three different machines in that class. Full size 125 2t's, supermini 2t's of max 125cc, and 150cc 4t's. It's such a shame. The schoolboy class was the last thing available for 125's to be on even ground, amateur wise and now it's over. They are killing the 125. At least they are letting us race the 250 2t in the 250 class, but they are not allowing it in am supercross, so I think I see the writing on the wall. Starting to wonder why I pay AMA dues!
