Some information on racing with the AMCA.

LICENCES

All riders who wish to compete in AMCA Motocross events must be in possession of an AMCA Licence.
A rider who wishes to apply for an AMCA Competition Licence must be a paid up member of one AMCA affiliated
club (e.g. BHMCC) that organises motocross events.
Licence application forms are available from Affillitaed Clubs whose Secretary should sign to confirm the applicant is
a member of the Club. No rider can be a member of more than one affiliated Club for the purpose of competing
in Modern Motocross events.
All licences are renewable on January 31st each year, a late renewal fee is charged after 1st March (this only applies if
an AMCA licence was held the preceding year).

AGE LIMITS

Minimum age is 10 years old.(11 years old in 2008)
Riders aged 11 to 14 to ride in the Inter Junior Class [65cc minimum to 100cc maximum (or 125cc 4-stroke)]
Riders aged 11 to 14 may only be upgraded in exceptional circumstances and only then with parental/guardians written agreement
15 year olds may be included in the Inter Juniors, but will normally ride in the Junior Class, (some weekends
there is an under 18 125cc Junior class and an over 18 125cc Junior class) and will be upgraded using the normal system.
Sidecar drivers and passengers minimum age of 14 years.
