I'm not sure if I'm reading the rules right on AMA events. The rules say up to 250 two stroke and up to 450 four stroke, but I'm reading on various posts that in amateur class you can ride 250 twostrokes against 250 four strokes? I'll for sure be in the c-class, but what engine class will I be in? Oh, and it's an AMA sanctioned track.

Here it is right out of the AMA rulebook:

amateur classes for AMA Motocross events. All classes
are approved for competition and promoters must
advertise any classes to be run. All classes must have
a minimum wheelbase of 53" (except Womenâ??s class).
All classes may be divided into A, B and C skill levels at
the promoterâ??s discretion.

as it should be.

CCOADY454 the last time a read the AMA amatuer class C rules "which was in 2007" they stated that in all amatuer classes that you can race a 250cc 2-stroke against the 250 4-chokes as well as the 450cc. 4-chokes.But I would imagine that in C class racing you probably won't have to worry too much about anyone racing a 450cc 4-choke...So go kick some tail on your mighty RM-250 2-stroke!!!! ;)
