2011 National Hare and Hound Series Announced

Following its first successful season in partnership with the AMA, the NHHA now readies for 2011, which is set to bring with it a tenth round. The only new round for 2011 will be hosted by WSRA in May in the desert east of Reno, Nevada.For 2011, Kenda will be returning as the title sponsor of the series, and joining them as series sub-sponsors will be FMF and FASST.

In addition to the aforementioned sponsors, look for contingencies from the following companies in 2011: Alpinestars, Bullet Proof Designs, BRP, Dirt Tricks, Fluidyne, MadJack Racing/Amsoil, RB Components, Rekluse, RTT Stabilizer, TBT Suspension, Works Connection, & ZLT.

Along with that are the OEM Contingencies from Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, & Husqvarna.

"Our package has just grown to be something that the Off-Road Community can really benefit from. All I hear about is how loyal our riders are to the companies who are supporting the series, and these companies just continue to be excited about providing sponsorship through both product and contingency certificates," stated Chris Blais, NHHA Promotions Manager.

One of the recurring issues with the NHHS has been the lack of uniformity within its numbering system. With each of the organizations having a different numbering system it is difficult for riders to identify themselves as a series rider, when they have actually raced more than one event.

As a solution to the obvious lack of a good numbering program, the NHHA has created a numbering system for all non-earned-numbered racers. An Earned-Numbered-Racer is someone who has competed in the 2010 season, and scored enough points in any of the "A-Classes" to finish within the Top 20 of their respective class. The earned numbers can only be used for competition in the same class, and are not eligible to be used if the "A Rider" is switching classes for 2011.

Further details, such as the full schedule, are yet to be announced.
