Also keeping it regulated keeps everything fair, I've seen non-AMA sactioned races playing favoritism when it comes to riding rough. I like to ride rough in the heat of the moment as much as anyone else, but there is a point that's too far, and if I get penalized for it, I know the rules. The AMA is a good organization that I proudly support, not saying everything they do is perfect, but without them our sport would surely be different. Ricky may like to whine about it, but imagine Nascar without rules, people whine about it having too many rules but could you imagine it without them?
I've been racing quads for a few years now on both the regional and national levels and love it. I'm sure it seems sketchy to those who haven't been around it, but I feel the same way about bikes, that shits not for me.
