A Novice racer can run both Novice and Amateur classes. An Expert racer that has not previously finished top 5 in the Amateur classes as an Expert, nor runs Race of the Rockies, nor holds an AMA pro license can run the Amateur classes.Originally Posted by PsychoMike
GTU basically means 600cc inline-four's & under
GTO means unlimited cc's
Novice GTU/GTO can only be raced by novice racers
Amateur GTU/GTO is a mix of novice and expert racers.
Yes, a first-time (novice) racer may race in amateur.
That's pretty much it, with certain exceptions depending on your bike (not sure cuz I don't have any first-hand experience in this area, but I think Modern-Vintage might be a valid example). In cases like that, I think you may also need special permission from the New Rider Director, Mark Schellinger.

Oops, I forgot - a novice is also eligible for Sportsman and Endurance classes.

There's nothing that will ever replace the warm feeling of a perfectly blipped 6th-to-4th downshift, that drops right lane traffic like 1st first semester chem-lab.
