2011 AMA Pro Am Motocross Schedule Announced

The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) announced today the 2011 Pro/Am motocross schedule, which also comprises the historic Florida motocross facility, Gatorback, that is set to host the first and last rounds of the schedule. AMA Racing Pro/Am motocross events are open to both professionally licensed and A-class amateur motocross racers.

"Our Pro/Am competitors race at these premier tracks for the points, purse money and contingency that will help them get to the next level," said AMA Director of Racing Joe Bromley.

"This year's schedule is one of the best, with 53 events at some of the country's most challenging race tracks and staged by the sport's top promoters and organizers. This schedule will no doubt help prepare the fastest amateur motocross racers on the planet for the pro ranks," added Bromley.

To be considered for a professional motocross license, competitors must have earned at least 75 advancement points (at the time of application) in AMA Racing Pro/Am motocross events in a continuous 12-month period. Points are based on overall finishes in either the 250 Pro/Am and Open Pro/Am classes. Points from each class are not combined.
