J Category Rule Changes

[Bill Blackwell]

As mentioned on another thread and on www.harborbeacon.com , there were new rules approved for the J Category at the National Meeting, specifically for the AXS classes. See them at http://www.apba-racing.com/News.php
Minimum age for AXS is 12.
Minimum weight for AXSH is 325 lbs.
Minimum weight for AXSR is 330 lbs.
Previous weights were 20 lbs heavier.
As Region 10 J category rep, I'd like to hear your view on this.

Hey Bill-

I think I am going to be a little heavy. I weighed in at 345 in Axs Hydro and 360 in Axs Runabout. However, I think this is a good way to speed the class up a little. I also think it would be another good stepping stone for moving on to A or K PRO. The new weights should, on the other hand, be suitable for the 12 year olds looking to race a class for them and other drivers looking to move on to other, bigger, faster classes.
