Hello to everyone,

At our recent MSC Meeting, it was discussed that there is an unusual situation of borrowing bikes this year………The big problem is this–Championship Points are awarded when the contestant’s machine displays the rider’s current MSC number.  We have been most understanding.  Riders have listed their MSC numbers on their data card.  But the bike is a different number.

Beginning this week at South Woods, the grace period is over.  Riders must display on their bike their correct MSC Numbers.  You can even use a paper plate taped on your borrowed bike.  Whatever works for you.  But display your MSC number on the borrowed bike so you will be scored using your MSC number and receive your MSC POINTS.   Spread the word! 

Looking forward to Awards Night……….. Sunday – January 31, 2010.  Good Luck!

Sincerely,

THE MSC

Hello,

All MSC TRACKS have agreed that the 125cc 2 stroke Class will be strictly for the 125cc 2 stroke bikes.  No other bikes allowed in the class, (such as 100cc).  Sorry for any inconvenience.  This class was offered for the 125cc 2 stroke bikes.  It is a trophy class, and is not an MSC Point Class.

Sincerely,

THE MSC

The Metropolitan Sports Committee Family Motocross   

After many hours and meetings of the MSC Committee–questions on the classes to run this season have resulted in the decision to keep the classes the same for 2008.  We looked at what the AMA was doing and checked many web sites to see what others were offering???????????????????

The AMA has made changes and those tracks that have AMA membership have to make the same changes. The MSC felt as a Committee— that it was in the best interest of the riders to keep everything the same as the past and revisit it all in the fall. By doing this, the riders that have already purchased bikes will know right where they belong when racing with the MSC.

There were small adjustments that were made for 2008. This year we will allow the 60cc bike to ride in the Junior Mini Class, 60cc-85cc 7-11 yrs.  The only other change is in the Women’s Class. It is no longer an open class. The Bike sizes for the Women’s Class will be 80cc to 250cc.  Also, tracks will charge a $10.00 day fee for non member riders.

Please remember to sign-up early so you will not lose your riding number.  March 1^st is approaching.  Our  $25.00 membership is a bargain.                                                            

We are looking forward to seeing our Motocross Family at all the MSC EVENTS. 

Cordially, 

The MSC
