This thread is to announce 3 substantial changes - hopefully improvements - to the motocross races at TrikeFest for this year.
First off, MX will now be a single moto format. In the past we have run heat races for gate position, then mains for the trophy.
This year each class will have one single moto for all the marbles.
There is a long list of reasons that this change was made. Feel free to ask questions and discuss in this thread.
Second change is that the Midsize Suspended class will be split this year. The two new classes resulting from this split are:
Mid Size Sport - this class is aimed directly at the ATC200X
Mid Size Utility - up to 250cc. Typically Big Red, 250SX, 225DX
We have had to split this class in the past because of the large number of entires.
It makes sense at this point to split the 200X from the utility machines.
Last change is a brand new class for 2016:
Conversion Class
As you would expect, any quad or dirtbike that has been converted to a 3-wheeler.
Modern conversions will no longer be allowed to compete in the Vintage A, B, or C classes.
Conversions, as always, will be allowed in the anything goes, run what you brung, Unlimited Open Expert Pro Class (aka. BTC)
With the new classes, the program will look like this (race order will be determined TBA):
1. Kids
2. Unsuspended
3. Semi-suspended
4. Mid Size Utility (250ES, SX, 225DX)
5. Mid Size Sport (200X)
6. 350X
7. 2-stroke C Novice
8. 2-stroke B Advanced
9. 2-stroke A Expert
10. Ladies
11. Geriatric (40+)
12. Unlimited Open Expert - BTC - National TrikeFest MX Championship
13. Conversion class
Looking forward to your comments and questions......
