AMA Racing
Dirt Track Grand Championship
Holeshot Series Offers Inside
Line to National Titles
PICKERINGTON, Ohio --
AMA racers
who have their goals set on
winning an AMA Racing Dirt Track
Grand Championship, and the AMA
National No. 1 plate that goes
with it, can start their title
chase ahead of this summer's
Dirt Track Grand Championships,
set for June 27-July 4 in Du
Quoin, Ill.
The AMA Racing Dirt Track Grand
Championship Holeshot Series
will award bonus points for the
national championships up for
grabs at Du Quoin. Riders who
compete in all races in their
class at one of the Holeshot
Series events will earn five
bonus points toward that class'
national title.
"The AMA Racing Dirt Track Grand
Championship Holeshot Series is
a great way to jumpstart your
national championship campaign,"
said AMA Track Racing Manager
Ken Saillant.
"Quite often, we
see national titles at the Grand
Championships decided by just a
few points, so we encourage all
riders to get out there and earn
your bonus points."
To count toward a racer's Grand
Championship point total, the
bonus points must be earned in
the same class contested at the
Grand Championships, where a
rider can compete in up to three
classes. A racer who competes in
all of the races for his or her
class at a Holeshot Series event
will earn five bonus points
toward that class championship
regardless of finishing order.
Full details of the Holeshot
series bonus point program will
be available in the AMA Racing
Dirt Track Grand Championship
Supplemental Regulations
shortly.
"We put together a great
schedule to kick off the
Holeshot Series," Saillant said.
"We're not done yet, though. We
will keep working on the
schedule to give racers in other
regions an opportunity to score
bonus points for Du Quoin."
The AMA Racing Dirt Track Grand
Championships is the premier
amateur dirt-track racing event
in the country. The week of
racing features competition in
all four dirt-track disciplines
-- short track, TT, the
half-mile and the mile -- and
crowns national champions based
on their accumulated points from
each individual event. Racers
from around the country will
converge on Du Quoin, Ill., this
summer to battle for national
championship honors, as well as
the AMA Dirt Track Horizon
Award, which honors the amateur
racer poised to make a statement
on the pro level.
