Hey Slim......if you want to set a
National and/or World Records and not club records.....you have to go
AMA/FIM.....AMA has its faults....
FIM has its problems.....plus the lines at the BUB meet are a lot shorter.

To name just a few of the more predominate ones.
The FIM blessing of the BMW mark was a real service to the sport until they met the first competition against a loaner bike in Australia.
The problems were built into the start and the incentive is the same.
The lines are shorter with fewer runs. With an average of 5 min. per run and a 10 hour day of running time, that is 120 runs. The rest of the math is easier. The 5 min. average was a bit generous, but you get the point.
