Press Release

2012 Texas Night Series Announced


December 9, 2011 (Wortham, Texas) - While it may be slow news this time of the year, much planning is going on.  For 2012, the
13th Annual Texas Night Series (North and South regions) offer some new and exciting items.
 
First
change is the new classes.  The classes are much more open to riders
with the new Collegeboy 16-24, Vet Amateur Open, Vet A Open and the all
new 50cc Stock 4-8 allowing shifter 4 strokes in this entry level class.


The
second "BIG" change is the all new points system.  After the SHOOTOUT
in 2011, the riders (and their families) requested to look at a points
system that was more fair for each region.  Riders will now earn one
point for every position they compete against.  Example: 15 entries -
1st 15 pts, 2nd 14 pts, 3rd 13 pts, etc.  Additionally, first place will
receive one bonus point for a moto win.


The
other change about scoring points is that a rider will earn points for
each moto, not for the overall of two moto's as in all the years prior.
 So in that same example above, if the rider gets first in both moto,
they will earn 30 plus 2 bonus points totaling 32 points.  With scoring
each moto, the five round series in the north and south just went to a
10 round series.


Round
5 for each series (North and South) will come to Freestone on Friday,
May 25th for the Texas Night Series Shootout.  This round will be Double
Points to match the series being scored together.


KTM
will be returning with $17,550 in factory contingency.  KTM will be
paying at all NINE rounds.  FMF and Tucker Rocky both return as title
and presenting sponsors respectively along with a host of great
companies supporting the series with overall contingency.


Speaking
of contingency, in 2011 the series awarded through fifth overall.  This
year the series will be awarding through 10th place overall.  A rider
must simply compete in four of the five rounds (and must compete in last
round) to receive overall awards.


Oh
and last but not least ..... the Texas Night Series is rolling back
fees to 2006 levels by offering $30 for all online entries at each
round.


Of
course, all this takes place during the Memorial Moto Mayhem weekend as
Round 2 of the Lucas Oil AMA Motocross Championship takes center stage
at Freestone on Saturday, May 26th.  A great Stocking Stuffer Special
for Christmas is on now for the Freestone Pro National are available by
