AMA announces 2009
AMA National Hare & Hound Championship Series
Schedule
PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The American
Motorcyclist Association (AMA) announced today
the 2009 schedule for the AMA National Hare &
Hound Championship Series. The AMA National Hare
& Hound Championship Series is composed of AMA
Sports-sanctioned events and is one of the
premier off-road racing series in the country.
The series gives both amateur competitors and
the country's fastest desert racers a place to
race.
"Working with local promoters, we've put
together a 2009 schedule that offers some
excellent racing opportunities across some of
the most-challenging desert terrain in the
country," said AMA Off-Road Director Chuck Weir.
"With three rounds scheduled for the fall, the
traditional summer break will include the
suspense of who will be our class champions.
This will bring more interest to these later
rounds and encourage more racers and fans to
come out and enjoy the sport in the second half
of the year."
In recent years, the AMA National Hare &
Hound Championship Series has featured just one
fall round. That meant the class winners,
including the overall national champion, were
often decided before heading into the long
summer break. This year's calendar is structured
so that's unlikely to happen.
The 2009 AMA National Hare & Hound
Championship Series will begin on Jan. 25 at the
Johnson Valley Off-Highway Vehicle Area near
Lucerne, California. The seven-round
championship will wrap up on Oct. 31 in Jericho,
Utah. The complete schedule is below.
