AMA RED BULL SUPERMOTO HEADS TO THE BIG D

Round four to be staged in downtown Dallas

PICKERINGTON, Ohio (Sept. 23, 2003) — Round four of the AMA Red Bull Supermoto Championship will visit Dallas, Texas on Saturday, Oct. 18. Running in the downtown district near Reunion Arena, this will be the second event in the inaugural season to run in an urban setting.

According to Chris Bradley, AMA Pro Racing Associate Director of Commercial Development, the Dallas location offers several unique characteristics that will make this event distinctive. “The track will be situated in a great downtown location right next to the interchange of the I-30 and I-35 freeways,” said Bradley. “Dallas commuters won’t be able to miss it.” Bradley added that the track itself will be challenging for the riders. “The layout of this track will be long and fast so we expect the racing to be particularly good at this event.

Placing as many events as possible in this type of urban setting has been one of AMA Pro Racing’s primary goals for supermoto. “When we announced the launch of this championship in March we said we wanted to take motorcycle racing to fans instead of making fans to come to us,” said Bradley. “This race as well as our event in Columbus is a fulfillment of that vision. We’ll continue to search out unique venues for AMA Supermoto that not only deliver a great racing experience for our riders, but also solid entertainment for our fans and expanded business opportunities for the many companies that are investing in our series.”

Round three of the series is set for Oct. 5 at PromoWest Pavilion in downtown Columbus, Ohio. The championship finale will be held in conjunction with the annual AMA Pro Racing Awards Banquet.
