I wonder if Lia Thomas will enter the series.
Lots of girl presence so that should be encouraging for them. A few younger girls are absolutely ripping right now.
Is this a trans friendly competition?
I was just talking about this with someone. Very cool. Way to go MX Sports.
Opportunity for Courtney Duncan to win an AMA title? I noticed that she and Dixon Kawasaki have parted ways.

Awesome news.
Good news and sounds like a good schedule.
Mehh would be better to be run with the nationals.
Yup, the ladies will get way more exposure.
Where can I find the entry list?
Edit - Professional woman's racing deserves the same exposure as the men's series.
Outdoors with 250 Pro, 450 Pro and Woman's Pro will make for a great days racing.
Essentially they are just taking the top 8 or whatever it is amateur nationals and putting the points to a championship.
Not trying to take away from the girls but haven't ppl in the past said we should do this for the A riders and make it a national amateur championship. You could possibly do it for multiple top classes.
But I still think they should do Friday or Sunday and take the A kids, supermini, females, 125 etc. And let the race at 6-8 nationals and have proper championships.
