The NMA Ponca City Grand
National Championship will be set up via regions.
Each region will hold qualifiers during May and June.
Each region will have 4 races events or as an option
up to 6 events. The Grand National Championships will
be held in Ponca City, Oklahoma July 20-July 26,
2008.
The event schedule is listed by
region along with each regional manager's name and
phone number. The rules and premise for the Nationals
are as follows:
The first regional event
entered by a rider will dictate which region he
will qualify in; i.e. a rider from Texas may enter
either a Texas region or Ozark region event, but
must participate in a least 2 qualifiers in the
same region in which he chooses to begin his
competition activity and finish in the top 12 based
on the entire regional series of races.
To qualify for the Ponca
City finals, a rider must participate in the
classes he enters in a minimum of 2 of the events
in his region and finish in the top 12 overall in
each of those classes. Points from all Regional
Qualifier Events count towards top 12 finishers in
each class.
AGE GROUPS AND RIDER
CLASSIFICATIONS. All age groups for P.Wees, Jr.
Cycles, Mini Cycles and Super Mini Class will be
frozen as of Jan. 1 of this year and all Motorcycle
classifications will be frozen as of Jan. 1, of
this year. Whatever age or motorcycle
classification you hold or have riden in or have
been moved to by another club on that date is the
class or age group you must qualify in and remain
in throughout the qualifiers and final Ponca City
event.
IF A RIDER ADVANCES TO A HIGHER
CLASS WITH ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION AFTER HE RACES HIS
FIRST NMA QUALIFIER, HE MUST THEN MOVE TO THAT HIGHER
CLASS WITH NMA AND PARTICIPATE AT THE PONCA CITY
FINALS IN THAT HIGHER CLASS.
NOTE: Riders who qualify for
the AMA t "A" class must ride Pro with NMA and riders
who qualify in the AMA "B" class must ride
Intermediate with NMA. See NMA rules regarding rider
classifications.
License in the NMA for all
participants is mandatory. All license applications
must be mailed directly to the NMA main office. NMA
will assign all riders numbers and classifications,
etc. and cards will be mailed to the rider by NMA.
Each Regional Manager will
maintain the riders point totals as the events take
place in their region. The top 12 point accumulators
in each class from each region will qualify for the
Grand National Finals in Ponca City. Total points for
classes in each region are figured out after all
regional events are completed. After the completion
of the qualifiers, each regional manager will send a
list of those riders who qualified for Ponca City.
The rider will then receive an information packet
containing the Ponca City entry form along with
important information pertaining to the Event. This
packet will be sent from the NMA main office.
