Interesting list. Tyler Bowers listed as part of the Babbitts Monster Kawi team?! And Zach Osborne racing. A new KTM squad with some fast guys like Gavin Gracyk. And no ride for Brock Sellards? Seriously?! Reynard is back and probably because they are on 450s. He'll be tough.

Does anybody know how they are going to handle amateurs on the SX track at Sam Boyd in Vegas in May?

i assume they are cutting down the jumps for Ams? Just wondering if I should take out a life insurance policy if I qualify.

All Sunday AX races are Amateur Days.

Tracks are always way cut-down and the catapult is moved way closer, etc.

Usually for the US Open they do a similar track to the Sunday AX tracks. Basically the whoops are smaller than braking bumps, 50s jump the catapult (seriously) and the rhythm section is two doubles you could do on a pit bike. However, it's a bit better at a "SX" venue because of more space, and it is way better than no riding at all in the winter.

I don't think you'll have to worry about it being crazy, unless a sunday AX is a bit much for you. It should actually be better since it won't be as tight.

You guys figured that out from where? Surely not the Arenacross.com website??
I have never been able to navigate that place...Laughing
They have misspelled the Central Regional Champion's name: Kurt McCabe so that gripes me, too!
McCabe is teaching a pre-AX school. See www.stormlakehonda.com for details. Should be cool.

I think it would be crazy cool to race the Vegas track. I assume if they cut down the regular AX tracks, they will cut down this one, but I don't know if there are logistics involved.

I have a feeling I will find out if/when I show up in Vegas.
