New Business

1.

The rule to be changed is Chapter III General Rules, C. Rider Classification, Line Youth 13 -15 86cc to 125cc 13 thru 15. Change to Youth 13 -15 86cc - 125cc 2 stroke / 86cc -250cc 4 stroke 13 thru 15. Also rule Chapter III General Rules, J. Competition Apparel & Equipment. Line - 86cc - 125cc Youth 13 - 15. Change To -86cc - 125 cc 2 stroke / 86 cc 250 cc to 4 stroke Youth 13 - 15. After some discussion the committee was unsure if an 86cc 4 stroke is the equivalent of an 85cc 2 stroke . A motion was made and seconded, to table this proposal until more information can be gathered. The motion was voted unanimously .
