Ride the class you normally ride, and prepare to have your a$$ whooped.
If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.

If my back is up to it I plan to ride some hare scrambles in District 5. I have been riding for 31 years and never raced anything other than BMX, we were always too broke/poor.

Ah, the days of double goosenecks, V bars, honeycomb mags and snake belly tires.
\I almost forgot the Ever stylish Oakley 3 grips. Man I'm old.

If you have never raced before i would recomend entering the Trail rider class first and just see how you go.
If you kick ass you can then enter a higher class like Vet Cfor the next round. ;)
If you don't fall off you are not going hard enough

yeah the vet c class will be really competitive, if you've never raced before go with the trail class, and check it out.

I used to race BMX, not just ride street... :D. I actually still have a DK Cruiser I ride occasionally.

Ok back on topic. Seems like some good advice here, keep us posted and make sure you post what class you decide and pictures when you do race.

don't know if i want to any more. its amazing what people will come up with. 2011 ama rule book section 2.3 off road meets



F. Claiming

1. All sanctioned meets are claiming meets. The claiming
price shall be 30 percent over manufacturer suggested
retail price using the Black Book AMA Official Motorcycle
Value Guide, Kelly Blue Book or NADA appraisal guide
and include the complete motorcycle or minicycle. Vintage
and ATV class equipment will be excluded from the
claiming rule.

2. Any rider (claimant) may enter a claim for a motorcycle (or
minicycle) ridden in an event in which the claimant has
competed. A claim must be entered with the referee after
the meet has been completed, but no later than 30
minutes afterward. The referee then notifies the owner of
the claimed motorcycle and may take possession of it.

3. Cash, certified check or bank draft must accompany a
claim. The owner of the claimed machine must
immediately deliver it intact, along with a clear title or bill of
sale.

4. If more than one claim is received for the same
motorcycle, the meet referee will hold a drawing to
determine the successful claimant.

5. If a rider whose motorcycle is claimed refuses to comply,
he must forfeit his trophy, is disqualified from the meet and
will be suspended for one year.

6. A rider may not enter a claim on his own equipment.

i think its saying if someone wants your bike they can buy it and you have to give it to them.
