Devin....your best bet would be to just put a call into the track and ask them personally , instead of going by 3rd hand info here. At least that would be my way of getting some info. Good luck if you plan on racing it.

GRP Amateur National Days at Pala Raceway

Sign Up Now:

Gateway Race Promotions is proud to announce the GRP Amateur National Days at Pala Raceway on September 4th and 5th, being held on the 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship Pala National Track. This will be the first time the Pro National Track lay out will be raced on and its your opportunity to say you raced where Ryan Dungey, James Stewart, and Kevin Windham will be doing battle just one week later.

GRP is extremely excited about the new contingency program we were able to work out with Pala Raceway for Pala Raceway Member Contingency. Over $20,500 worth of Practice Ride Passes will be up for grabs, with Hole Shot Awards and Fastest Lap Time awards also available for Pala Raceway Members to win. See the pay out schedule below.

The GRP Amateur National Days will have tons of prizes from DC Shoes, No Fear, Spy, FMF, Bel Ray, ARMA, and the Red Bull Wing Team will be on site for with free Red Bull Energy Drinks. Plus more sponsors are coming on board to make the event a huge success.

Pre Entries are $50 per Entry; Post Entries are $65 per entry. Entry includes transponder rental. Credit Cards will need to be held onto as deposit for Transponder rental return. Classes will be limited to the first 42 riders signed up per class. No Refunds or Rain Checks, all sales are final.

There will be Event Awards for Class Champions, 30% Trophies for each class race, and 100% Pro Payback in the 250 Pro, 450 Pro, Women Pro, Vet 30+ Pro, and Vet 40+ Pro.

Results will be scored by www.mylaps.com transponders and done the day of the event. For a class to be eligible for Championship awards a minimum of 10 riders must race the event.

We plan on having long motos for each class, minimum of 15 minutes for Amateur Classes and 20 minutes for Pros, and will be utilizing double gates and a unique split schedule for Saturday and Sunday Classes.

We want to make the program run smoothly and allow riders to get the most out of their days racing. All Vet riders, Women, and Armed Forces Classes will run on Saturday. All 250 and 450, 85cc, 65cc, 50cc, School Boy, College Boy and Superminis race on Sunday.

50cc and 65cc classes may run a modified track due to the steepness of several hills on the National Track. This will be determined before their practice session.

National Track Practice is available September 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday leading up to the Amateur National Days. Practice fee is $25 for Full Size bikes, and $20 per mini bike. Split Practices in the afternoon session (3pm-6pm) to allow minis track time.

Spectator gate fees are $10 per day or $15 for the weekend. Dry Camping is available Friday night and Saturday night for $20 per Night.

E-mail info@gatewayracepromotions.com or call 1-888-PALA-MX1 [1.888.725.2691] for additional information.

All Pala Raceway Practice Tracks will be closed due to the National Construction and Amateur Race on the National Track during racing events.Day #1 9/4/2010

Do they run multiple tracks? They have more than one still functional, even with the 'remodel' project.

My little track had a separate Pee-Wee track running at the same time as the main track.

More like 12 min. motos. Takes time to get all or most of the riders off the track before the next race can start.

I raced with them in another series this year following a similar format. The motos were long 15-20 min (felt like 30 min) and it went smooth. Really well organized, everybody i was with had a lot of fun.

Also, check out the Pala Contig. money their giving out. After my holeshot, fastest lap and win, I'll be getting my next 12 rides for free. Wink

Why is it called an amateur national? There's no amateur titles being won. It's more like an amateur race the same week as a national. JMO. I used to race washougals all the time just because it was a yearly event to have fun at. The competition was never much tougher then a normal race. My class was always broken into 3-5 divisions and no main event that combined to find out who really was the winner.

Exactly. Red Bud and Millville don't have an "Am National", just really fun amateur practice day, followed by a race day.

I love that stuff.

"We don't need no stinking Amateur Nationals" hahaha
