I've been around almost "forever" and have been on the board for about 18 or 
19 years.  It seems to me the heavyweight riders came out strongly for weight 
divisions because they felt they were competing at a great disadvantage to 
the lighter riders.  In short, a mandate from the membership.  What would it 
take to change the rule?  Probably a ground swell of rider opinion and a 
petition signed by a percentage of the membership.  Not sure of the 
percentage, but something like 5% comes to mind.  I don't know whether the 
percentage could be mustered.  I doubt that many members are unhappy with 
status quo.
