On Dec. 18th Racer X posted the proposed rule changes for the GNCC series. Among them is allowing 250 cc two strokes into the XC2 class. I think this is a great step in the right direction. Hopefully more pro racing disciplines will follow their lead. I believe if uncontested these rules will become official Dec. 28th. Braappp!
These proposed rules are tentative until December 28. This allows the GNCC community 10 days to view the rules and allow for a public comment period.
"As always, we take into account our racers' feedback when crafting new rules," said Jeff Russell, GNCC Trail Boss. "We learned a lot from our riders' meetings a few weeks ago, and we think the new rule book will work well for everyone."
The most significant proposals involve the Pro classes. Racer Productions has established a minimum age requirement that will be implemented over a one-year grace period. The 2010 minimum age requirement for the XC2 classes will be 15 years old and 17 years old for the XC1 Pro classes. In 2011, these ages will increase to 16 and 18 years old for the respective classes.
The second proposal for bikes allows the use of 250 two-strokes in the XC2 Pro Lites Class. This change is consistent with the AMA Amateur Racing Rulebook.
