l had an email today confirming the ages and capacities for junior road racing that will come in effect as of January 2007.
We are very pleased with the outcome of our submission last year of these junior ages and classes to be included in the 2007 Manual of motorcycling. They are as follows:
ages 9 to 12 (50cc 2 stroke manual clutch and gears)
ages 9 to 12 (70cc 2 stroke manual clutch and gears)
ages 13 + 80cc 2stroke & 160cc 4stroke
age 15. 125 grand prix
This is a fantastic step in the right direction for the future of our juniors and also a milestone in road racing.
MA will be announcing their press release next week.
l am currently in talks with MNSW in relation to the ages, as you are already aware that NSW is governed by sports and recreation. Until things are sorted out the 9 to 12 years and capacities are adopted by all other States with the exception of N.S.W.
Cheers Jen
