Hopefully every one is as excited as I am about theaddition of pitbike races to several dates on the schedule this year. From what I hear there is a good amount of buzz going around!

Here is a rundown of what you can expect.

Now added, SAVANNAH MX on May 16th will be hosting a round of the SPORT-MANN / FLY RACING / ONE INDUSTRIES / TROY LEE DESIGNS Pit bike series!

Our "mini" schedule will now consist of:

May 9th : Thornwood MX  ( www.thornwoodmx.com )
May 16th: Savannah MX   ( www.savannahmx.com )
May  23rd: Cato MX          ( www.cato-mx.com )
June 26th: Frozen Ocean ( www.frozen-ocean.com )

This schedule reflects a "mini" schedule that SPORT-MANN HONDA / FLY RACING / ONE INDUSTRIES / TROY LEE DESIGNS will be hosting, and will be crowning 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers with special plaques/trophies designed for this series!

It also happens to fall in accordance with the AMRA / WNYMA series, except for Frozen-Oceans date. The date for Frozen Ocean will be held in addition to a special night of NIGHT-X  that Sport-Mann is sponsoring.

 If attendance is good enough, Im sure the promoters of each track will be happy to add the class to the current schedule, so everyone that is interested, please be sure to basicly just show up!

The rules are basic, simple, and short: All "pit bikes" are welcome. CRF 50, CRF 70, CRF 80, CRF 100, DR-Z 70, DR-Z 125, TT-R 50, TT-R 90, KLX 110, KLX 110L, Pitster PRO, SSR, etc..

Please make sure you wear appropriate gear to protect yourself, as many riders choose not to wear boots, you should at least wear something that protects your ankles! As always, your head is the most imprtant part of your body, and you should wear the most protective helmet available to you!

Some tracks allow "pit riding", some dont. Just because these promoters are allowing pit bike racing on the track, does not mean they are allowing pit bike racing in the pits! Please be sure to follow there rules, so they continue to allow us to race these fun bikes!

Other than that, just have fun!
