Pro ATV MX schedule for 2008 announced

The ITP/Moose Racing AMA/ATVA National Motocross Championships Presented by Parts Unlimited will feature 11 rounds in 2008, beginning March 8-9 at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California.

Southern California is home to many ATV teams and manufacturers, so the hometown event promises an exciting launch for the series.

The ATVA Amateur National Motocross Championship will feature a 10-round series, kicking off March 29-30 at Mill Creek MX in Pell City, Alabama, in conjunction with round 2 of the AMA Pro ATV series. From there the two series will converge for the remainder of the season.

A new venue joins the ranks as the series migrates in July to Pleasure Valley Raceway in Armagh, Pennsylvania. This one-mile track is a technical mix of clay, topsoil and sawdust, with large elevation changes. Produced by Cernic’s Racing, the event promises an ATV-friendly atmosphere.

The grand finale will take place in the backyard of country music legend Loretta Lynn and her renowned Hurricane Mills track. Also new for 2008, the annual ATVA Awards Banquet will be held at the Ranch after the final checkered flag of the season has flown.

But there’s more racing to come. AMA Pro ATV riders return to Steel City Raceway on Labor Day weekend for the 2nd Annual AMA Pro ATV Open Invitational. This stand-alone event will feature the top 20 AMA Pro ATV riders as they share the national race track with the motorcycle pro riders for the Steel City round of the 2008 AMA Toyota Motocross Championship presented by FMF.

Once again, the ATV championship series will be televised on the Versus Network. Stay tuned for broadcast dates and times.
