The AMA gave the Stark a place to race and only a few people are showing up. I can't blame the AMA for not giving a crap about them. Motocross/Supercross is about 90% hardcore redneck and they don't want them. I wouldn't be surprised if Stark quits making MX bikes and focuses on woods bikes and...
If I can't even get 5 people to show up, I have zero credibility to get D16 to add an e-bike class for 2026. They already think only 2 or 3 people in the entire state even ride electric bikes. It's stupid as hell we can't race in the open and age classes this year.
Sugar Maple MX is going to have a Midwest Vintage MX race June 21st and 22nd. They want at least 5 people to show up to give us our own class. I don't like anybody, so I don't have anyway to spread the word on social media. I ride at Sugar Maple a lot. The track is super nice and they have great...

The USA is huge market and the AMA is doing everything they can to sabotage Stark. How do you sell a race bike that you can't race? Without AMA insurance, most tracks couldn't afford to have races. Most tracks are AMA in this country.
I heard back from D-16. No big bikes will be racing in 2025. I'm really not out anything, but all the tracks that are struggling in Wisconsin have 2 less riders. Idiots. I'll just keep riding at the state and dnr funded riding areas. I will never support the AMA ever again. F&^K them.
My state's solution is to have an open-e class. I'm 51 years old. This will be the class:
Me on a Stark Varg.
Some kid that's been riding for 2 weeks on a 2008 kx250f with broken levers and a warn out chain.
Some "A" rider on a 450 looking for a third class to run. Will lap me twice.
A...
Gas bikes are so inferior, they had to make it fair some how. 😆 A 48HP Stark has more usable HP than any gas bike. I'm a 205lb dude and I keep mine at 50HP for motocross. Anything more than that is just wheelies and wheel spin.

At this time (including the 2025 season) electric motorcycles will be limited to electric bike only classes and will not be allowed to compete in motocross races at the same time as ICE motorcycles for safety reasons."
Looks like I'm not buying an AMA...
