qualifying for open?

[yamahamotox15]

does anyone know how many people qualify for the am class
also how many people enter the am class

[demo 9]

top 100AM. i think last year it started around 300 guys. however 100 are really slow/break parts/fall. i would figure about 200 racers to actually worry about. but every year has more people.

i heard that there was close to 500 for this year but can't confirm
