We waited a month for that???

So the new AMA rules are out:

http://www.amaproracing.com/prorace/rules.asp

Took a quick look and all that's there is basically the same thing
that was released nearly a month ago, the basic equipment rules for
the four classes. Just scanned them briefly, and the one thing I saw
was repeated use of the phrase "Eligible Equipment List" in ASB, which
wasn't apparent in the previous version. Basically if you want to
modify anything from stock, it has to be on the list.

Now this week they finally put out the applications for this, which
means as of today there are no approved aftermarket parts. None. I
assume the app explains the gory details of the procedure, which I
haven't seen anywhere, like number of units required, cost
limitations, availability requirements, etc. Also, there is no list of
homologated machines for ASB, which means there aren't even any stock
bikes you could use. Good thing the Daytona test is still a few weeks
away.

There isn't any competition regulations at all, so we don't know
things like practice and qualifying procedures, race start procedures,
race lengths, points system, etc., etc.

Maybe they'll hand this out on the grid at Daytona. Or Fontana...

 

So ASB will be a straight mano a mano between Ben Bostrom and Josh Hayes
on stock R1s then. Should be good.
