Wild indoor night racing is a must see!
Irvine, CA (September 6, 2011) – In
a special tribute to the Baja 1000 and a select few motorcycle
endurance events, the lights will be turned off for a special Baja
Designs night race when the 2011 GEICO AMA EnduroCross series, presented
by Lucas Oil visits the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario,
California on Saturday, September 17th. As a consolation to
some of the expert riders that miss the cut for the main event, the Baja
Designs crew will mount up their battery powered Diablo light kits to
several riders bikes and send them back out for a winner take all dash
for cash.
“We
have held a few night races during the Vegas event and it is amazing to
see how fast the riders go through the obstacles” noted Mike Karsting,
VP of events at Source Interlink. “The crowd just loves it so we decided
that for our first trip to Southern California, we needed to do
something special and the Baja Designs crew was willing to make it
happen by providing the lights for all of the competitors”.
While
the X Games event in July was the first EnduroCross in California, that
one was for Expert riders only and the Ontario event will feature the
Vet, Open Amateur and TrialsCross classes in addition to some of the
best off road riders in the world competing in the Expert class. The pit
area is open to the public for free all day and the arena is also open
for free during the daytime practice and qualifiers, which get started
on Saturday morning. The top 30 Expert/Pro riders also do a one at a
time Hot Lap during the mid-afternoon so you can make a day out of it.
Tickets
are available at John Burr Kawasaki, Malcolm Smith Motorsports
