Next weekend’s Monster Energy Cup will allow U.S. teams the unique opportunity to field race bikes with components such as in-helmet communication, traction control, GPS, and more.

According to a release from Feld Motorsports issued today, the AMA has issued an open supplemental rules package for the event that will take place at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas on 15 October.

The elimination of nearly all technical restrictions, with the exception of sound and fuel regulations, will allow riders and teams the opportunity to develop and test new technology during race conditions without being restricted by the current AMA Supercross rulebook.

AMA director of Supercross Kevin Crowther said that the open rules approach is possible due to the nature of a unique stand-alone event versus a world championship.

“As a singular race the Monster Energy Cup gives us more freedom to think outside the box and try some innovative concepts that might not always be practical for a national championship,” Crowther said.

“Between this rules package and the amount of money on the line, the Monster Energy Cup will be one of racing’s must-attend events this year.”

“While the actual supplemental rules package is available online at AMASupercross.com, the basics are simple,” Crowther continued. “No homologation is necessary, and the engine displacement must be at least 125cc.

“Beyond that, nearly anything goes – two-stroke, four-stroke, singles, twins. Weight restrictions are gone. Large-displacement two strokes are welcome. That said, it’s important to stress that all safety and sound-related regulations will remain in place.

The unique hybrid track will consist of supercross/motocross terrain and will have a tremendous motocross-style influence, making it unlike any other stadium race in the world. This track will be the perfect blend of supercross and motocross combined and created into the ultimate battleground.

The Monster Energy Cup posts a $250,000 purse, awarding the winner a $100,000 check, and $1-million will be paid to a rider that wins all three main events.
