i am a first year expert and want to get a ama liscense
what are the basic requirements to get a ama liscense ???

[WebCrush]

to get an AMA Pro license (not valid for SB use) you need to hold an expert license for a full year and collect 100 points based on the AMA points scale.  they list it on the amaproracing.com website somwhere.

AMA license rules and what is in effect are two very different things; last 3 years there has been a first year expert out running Daytona 200

the rules are pretty well enforced, Eric.  That is unless you take advantage of the large policitcal system existing within AMA Pro Racing.

My buddy got denied his AMA license two weeks ago cuz he only had 73 points.

I thought to get an AMA expert license (non-Superbike license) you only needed to earn 100 points as an expert based on their equivalent point scale.

Due to the size of last year's grid, it's doubtful many experts will be able to get AMA licenses.

so what and where is the points listing on the ama website i cant seem to find it, i found the rules but nothing about being able to get the liscense

Ok... so inquiring minds want to know how YOU got around the rules?  According to your website, you barely had your expert license for 3 months before acquiring your AMA Pro license.

LRRS has the JR class which is considered EX in all other regions and those points were eligible for AMA consideration

According to the AMA you only need an expert license for one year to get a Superbike license. To get an AMA expert license which qualifies you for all other classes you just need 100 points under their system which requires at least 16 riders per class to get points 16-29 riders pays 13 points for first to 2 points for 10th. 30+ riders pays 20 points for 1st down to 1 point for 15th. These are in CCS expert events.

You might want to go back and actually read the rules for an AMA SB license.

You need to hold an AMA PRO license for a full year AND collect 200 points on the AMA points scale as well.
