AMA Pro Racing claims that recently enacted restrictions on riders entering both the Superbike and the Formula Xtreme classes at AMA Nationals did not require a 30-day comment period because they are actually part of a supplemental regulation and not a rule.

But the 2003 AMA rulebook says that supplemental regulations are part of the rules, as follows:

2003 AMA Road Race Rulebook

Chapter 3

G. Bulletins and Supplementary Regulations

Competition bulletins or supplementary regulations established by the AMA for the purpose of implementing, interpreting and enforcing these competition rules will be deemed to be part of the rules.
