Sports organizes the event by utilizing over 30 years of experience
operating the Red Bull AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at
Loretta Lynn Ranch. The class structure includes classes for youth
riders on 50cc bikes all the way up to vet and senior classes. The race
will follow a supercross format, using heat races and last chance
qualifiers to seed the field of riders into a main event in each class,
over the course of two days. Unlike the Loretta Lynn Ranch format,
riders do not need to qualify at other races in order to participate in
the Daytona event.
