Just a heads up for all those that plan on applying for one.  Cost of admission is $375.00 a year.

Section I: LICENSE REGULATIONS
A. AMA Pro Racing licensed riders not qualifying in AMA Pro Racing sanctioned events for a period of three years may lose their prior classification.
B. Applicants renewing a license that has been expired three or more years must complete a Road Race Eligibility Questionnaire.
C. All rider classifications are issued at the discretion of AMA Pro Racing.
Section II: LICENSE CLASSIFICATION/ELIGIBILITY
1. Expert License

An AMA Pro Racing Expert License is issued to eligible riders who have reached the age of 16 years and meets the following criteria:

• Successfully complete at least two full racing seasons (including at least 20 race weekends) of road racing competition with recognized organizations, with at least one full racing season (including at least 10 race weekends) as a full Expert riding a motorcycle(s) eligible for AMA Pro Racing classes.

• Earn at least 300 Expert points, from a recognized RR organization, riding a motorcycle(s) eligible for AMA Pro Racing classes.

• All new applicants must complete and have certified by the recognized organization the Road Race Eligibility Questionnaire
verifying Expert classification and points earned.

• Provide a copy of your current expert rated card with the recognized organization you are submitting points from.

UPDATE

* Note all points are calculated at face value from the racing organzation in question.  "There is no limit on riders in a race any longer.  We just take the club's points for face value.  This way is easier for all riders.  We don't use our own point scale any longer. "

Question:

Do you think the AMA will use your Actual Points or your Adjusted Points as a CCS Racer? I would imagine you Actual?

So what if there weren't 10 rounds in your series...

They probably won't use your actual points. In the past it has always been an adjusted points scale.

I would say since CCS uses the adjusted points to calculate everything that AMA would use the adjusted points.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe CCS is the only org that uses the "Adjusted" points...I do not think WERA does...

The adjusted points was put in place by CCS so people can not buy championships as easy...I would think that AMA would used Actual...

I have already E-Mailed them asking about this and the 10 weekends question that Spooner asked...

Aren't adjusted points only used for the overall championship?  I think in individual class championships, it's straight points.

I'm not talking about CCS adjusted points.

I'm saying that AMA has a scale and where you finished in your race with X competitors has a specific point value to the AMA regardless of what CCS points reflect.

I'll see if I can find it.

nevermind. Looks like AMA did away with their own points scale when getting an AMA license.

Previously, the AMA had their own points scale which would be applicable for licensing.
