Question about 4 stroke racing classes.
Hi everyone, this is my first post in this section. I am wanting to enter a local race, and I'm totally lost on this class structure thing. I am an experienced trail rider, but I have never raced in a structured event, for that matter i've never even been on a race track with a quad, but I was wanting to give it a go and see what it's like. I've been reading AMA rules, and can't find the answer. My question is what is a "4 stroke B", and a "4 stroke C" class, and can I ride my raptor 700 in them? I know I can enter the "30+" class, but I'm gonna get killed by the guys who have been racing forever, and wanted to know if these are more of beginner classes. I would really appreciate any advisement that you all could give. Thanks in advance. -- D.

Question about 4 stroke racing classes.
I thought the 2 stroke limit was 265cc??? I havent raced one since the dawn of time so forgive me if I'm off the ball.
I would start off in the C class, especially for MX. Try to get some practice on a track before race day, it takes a lot of getting used to. I never did, so I stick with flat ground.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Question about 4 stroke racing classes.
First off, where are you racing at? You are not far from me and I race bikes around here, and a lot of the tracks around here have different rules. All the AMA tracks are the same rules tho.
Some A, B, and C classes are all "open". Which means you can run what ever you want. But if they don't say open next to that class, then it is 450cc and below for 4-strokes. Then you will have to run the plain jane open class.
Some tracks have a stock quad class, and if all you have is a pipe you can run that with your rappy, Id recommend this class for a beginner, well this or if there is an open "C" class.
Your smart about staying out of the 30+ classes if you want to be competitive, these guys are "usually" really fast, bike or quads.
Maddog, Im all most positive the 2-stroke limit still is 265cc.
