All ARMCA competition events are governed by the AMA rulebook as well as the ARMCA rulebook.  Changes to the AMA rulebook are done at AMA Congress in October every year – if you want to suggest a rule change for the AMA rulebook, talk to one of our AMA congress delegates before August of each year in order to get your proposal included in that year’s AMA Congress proceedings.  If you’d like to suggest a change to the ARMCA rulebook, use the form below (or otherwise include all relevant information) and send your proposal to the ARMCA secretary before Sept. 15th to be considered at that year’s annual meeting.

Here’s how our rule change process works:

  • The deadline for submitting rule change proposals is September 15th of the year it is being voted on.

  • Proposed rule changes are submitted to the D23 Board for review and authentication.

  • The board determines if the rule is valid and accurate from the AMA and D23 standpoint.

  • Rules are sent out to the members for review before the annual meeting.

  • Rule author must be present at the Annual Meeting for the rule to be voted on by the members present.

  • Successful rule changes are added to the rule book for the racing season after the annual meeting (i.e. Dec. 2023 annual meeting rules implemented 2024).

The deadline for submitting rule change proposals is September 15th of the year it is being voted on.

Have you reached out to your Class or Discipline representative to discuss your proposed rule? This is recommended to ensure the rule encompasses your desired outcome and is a valid rule that is in line with the AMA Rulebook.
