GEICO Powersports MiniMotoSX Gets New Dirt for the Upcoming Vegas/Orleans Race!

The
new red, er, brown-dirt carpet – 1,200 cubic yards worth of fresh clay will
be rolled out for the world’s top mini bike racers this May 7^th

 ANAHEIM,
Calif. (Feb. 9, 2010) – Great news for mini bike racers
today as officials for the upcoming GEICO MiniMotoSX, presented by Monster
Energy, announced that this year’s track at Las Vegas’ Orleans
Arena will be constructed with entirely new dirt.

 “Twelve hundred cubic yards of
fresh soil with just the right amount of clay content so that the jumps stay
peaked and the corners don’t rut up too badly,” said Mike Karsting,
VP of Events for Source Interlink Media. “Thanks to GEICO and Monster
Energy stepping up as sponsors, we’re confident that this new dirt will
result in – by far – the greatest mini bike track ever
constructed.”

 The task to backing Karsting’s
claim goes again this year to Schaefer Tracks. “For six years the same
pile of dirt has been used to create the GEICO MiniMotoSX, we are thrilled to
get a new supply of dirt for the greatest mini bike race on the planet”
commented Shane Schaefer. 

Also … New for 2010 will be the
MMSX World Final race intended to
crown the fastest mini bike racer on the planet. The top three Youth and Expert
10” and 12” riders will be joined by the top ten international
racers for one insane main event with $5,000 in podium prize money at stake for
the Experts!

“The new World Final will be
the war to settle the score as to a year’s worth of bragging rights to
the coveted King of MMSX,” said Source Interlink Media’s Mike
Karsting. “ United
States ’ best versus the top
international riders. You couldn’t ask for a more thrilling gate to cap
off the night’s show!”

Also, for the first time ever, MMSX
at the Orleans
will feature electric bikes
competing head-to-head with the combustion bikes in the 16” class. After
years of being an exhibition class, electric bikes will finally get the chance
to see if they can hold it down against the gasoline-powered bikes. Will they
be able to keep up? Could they dominate? Are they gonna get waxed? You’ll
have to be in Vegas on May 7^th to find out!
