The ACU Motocross Committee has announced that regulations for 2024 have been approved for Youth Sidecar classes. This is something that they have been looking at for some months now, as they feel it is vital to encourage the next generation of pilots and passengers.
The YSC1 class will be for 9- to 11-year-olds on up-to-150cc two-stroke or 250cc four-stroke machinery, and the YSC2 class will be for 11- to 16-year-olds piloting up to 250cc two-strokes and 450cc four-strokes.
The Youth Sidecars will be permitted to race alongside Youth Quad classes, another innovative move designed to create sufficient numbers to allow clubs to cater to these younger riders. ACU motocross chairman Steve McCauley commented, “We have been innovative, proactive and forward-thinking in creating these new classes. We are fully aware that it will take time to build a successful structure, but I am very proud of the work that the committee and our secretary have put into this. I’d also like to thank Kate Murch again for her invaluable help and assistance with these new formats”.
