You name it,a motocross track has it. The race is divided into heats called motos (hence the name “motocross”). The rider with the best finishing position in each moto is the overall victor.

The bikes are fitted with studded tires for added traction in loose dirt and mud. The motocross racer himself is just like the average guy nex tdoor looking for excitment and fun. One difference, though, is that the racer is in better physical condition than most of us. This is because motocross is the second most physically demanding sport in the world! Soccer is the only sport that surpasses it. The constant beating taken by the riders muscles, as he tries to ride fast over a rough track, is tremendous. Nothing tops the thrills and spills of motocross for pure excitement. Since this race is for charity the modest admis sion fee will be well worth it. See you at the races!
