Scanned the redlined version and have a couple quick questions:

1) In the suggestion thread, I had asked about removing the OEM gearing restriction from the Grom class. Can you give some insight as to why this was left in there? Based on what IS allowed, I don't understand why sprocket changes are not allowed. I do like the removal of fuel controller restriction.

2) With the realignment the past couple years with MA / FIM, why are we keeping the 2>1>turn part of the start procedure instead of just going with the lights, or at the very least, keeping the card turn? The card turn lends nothing to the process other than confusion.

Allowing gearing to be changed would give smaller riders a huge advantage over larger riders.

MA is a professional series CMRA is an AMATEUR series. Our start procedure is an INDUSTRY STANDARD in AMATEUR racing. WERA, CCS, AFM, and LRRS to name a few all use the same procedure. the ONLY difference is that we use a light in place of the green flag. The light is much more precise that a flag. The light is either on or off. There is nothing to be confused about in our procedure. The BOARDS are a countdown to the light going out which signifies the start of the race. The BOARDS provide separation between waves. Doing away with an INDUSTRY STANDARD procedure because a handful of riders are confused makes no since. That handful of riders simply needs to learn the procedure.

Light ON don't move.

Light OFF go.
