AMA sent out an email on the 5th explaining that they got more requests for awards than expected and they are awaiting more medals and ribbons (which, I presume, mail out with the plates) that should arrive by the end of the month. I'm with you Chris, I'd like to enjoy the record a while before you take it away from me next year.  :-D

Actually there's 250cc pistons, jugs and head sitting on the bench. Thinking about 250 M/CG or M/CF this year. Don't think I can stay competitive in 350 M/CG with 305cc. Too many Yamahas.  :wink:

Is this a new thing that the AMA will mail the award plates? In past years I received certificates suitable for framing and once I was mailed ONE 4-inch decal of a #1 plate. This past December I attended the awards banquet to be sure to get the 4 #1 plates my bike earned for 2018. BTW......the banquet event was a very nice experience.

You have to request that the plate and medal be mailed to you if you are not attending the awards banquet. I think it was around $25.

Got mine the other day. When I called AMA rep. Connie Flemming she said the response was
overwhelming from all sportsmen catagores and had to order so many more # 1 plates.
