Check the AMA site. I put in a proposal that will probably not pass, but hey, what the heck. My proposal eliminates weight for sportsman and makes it 5200 grams for the other AMA classes. At 5200 grams more battery/electric motor choices and more IC engine choices become feasible at lower cost. Personally, I will stick with the F3A limits.
Sounds like a winner.
I couldn't get the Sickle
over 5kg if I tried.
