How to Get Started ATV Racing Motocross, Cross Country, Desert, Dirt Track, Endurance, Mud, Super Moto, etc.
Monday, May 25, 2009
We get a lot of emails from ATV enthusiasts asking how they can get started in racing. They have seen the AMA ATV Motocross Nationals or GNCC ATV racing events on TV and think racing would be fun, so, we decided to put together some information that we hope will be useful for anyone wanting to get involved in growing sport of ATV racing. One of the first things you will want to do is decide what kind of ATV racing you want to try. There are several major types of racing including motocross, cross-country, and flat track or TT racing just to name a few.
ATV Motorcross Racing Information
Motocross (MX) racing is held on enclosed off-road circuits. Motocross is derived from the French, and traces its origins to British Scrambling competitions.
The tracks used in these types of events can vary from about 1 mile to 2 miles in length and can consist of big jumps, tight turns, whoop sections, and natural terrain.
Cross Country/Harescramble ATV Racing Information
Cross Country (XC) racing uses the timed method, which is better suited for that type of racing. Most XC style race heats can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the series and the class you are racing. All though XC racing takes quite a bit of skill to negotiate some of the terrain, endurance and equipment reliability are key factors in how well most racers finish.
XC tracks usually consist of natural terrain including tight woods sections, rocks, mud, hill climbs and wide-open fields and can be 10 miles or longer. The GNCC ATV Racing Series is the premier national cross-country event with races held mainly in the eastern and mid-west portions of the country. The WORCS ATV Racing series is a cross-country style national race that is held on the west coast and southwest regions of the U.S.
