bureaucratic org/Weight Question

[Thomas C. Weedon]

Ron,
Del is right. The CD does have the flexibility to lift weight limits. The
AMA rule book gives the CD much latitude on these matters. But you are
right, the heavier weight limit went down, 111 to 74. Sorry fellows, that's
called Democracy. Over 600 members chose not to vote, even though they
received a ballot, so what ya gonna do?

  Hi Ron..
        I thought that was already being done in the past as long as the CD
gave advance notice of that issue and as long as they were still AMA legal
the CD already had that option?.

    According to the rules survey results , the question on should
    the weight limit be raised received   74 Yes, 111 No, votes.

    There is a proposal to add language to the effect of:
    ~The contest director has option of deleting weight & size limits
    for Sportsman class...such deletion must be published in ...
    advance...model must conform to AMA weight limits.

      I fully understand that it was not submitted by NSRCA. My question
was, Has anyone submitted a weight change personally? I also think it would
enlightening to know,since the vote margin was close. How many votes For and
Against the weight change came from each individual Class? But I don't
expect that information will be made available.
