2011 AMA Pro Motocross Championship Schedule Announced

The 2011 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship schedule had just been released, revealing a 12-round event that will comprise locations from California to New England. The 2011 season kicks off on May 21 with the Hangtown Motocross Classic, which is held at the Prairie City Off-Highway Vehicle Park in Sacramento, California. The series will finally conclude on September 10, at Pala Raceway, which is just north of San Diego. Meanwhile, each stop of the tour will showcase the premier 450 Class, featuring reigning national champion Ryan Dungey, along with the 250 Class, which will crown a new champion in 2011 with the 2010 title holder Trey Canard moving up to the premier division. "We're fortunate to boast the best motocross facilities in the world in the Lucas Oil Motocross Championship," said MX Sports Vice President Davey Coombs. "Several of our tracks have hosted national events for nearly four decades, including such legendary race tracks as RedBud, Unadilla, High Point and more, while our newer facilities present the vision of the future for American Motocross.” Additionally, the MotorcycleUSA.com Women's Motocross Championship will be included at eight rounds of the series - Hangtown, Freestone, Thunder Valley, RedBud, Spring Creek, Moto-X 338, Steel City, and Pala. "We have also been exploring several new facilities in the Southeast," added Coombs. "The area is one of the most popular regions of the country for off-road motorcycles, and it is the hope of MX Sports that we will be able to announce a new addition to the schedule for 2012." 2011 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship Schedule:
