AMA Texas State Championship: North Region Final, Round 4 (Double Points)

Now the North Region final, and every moto pays double. Online registration is open through Trackside at the registration link. With Round 5 at Bowers MX cancelled, Round 4 of the 2026 AMA Texas State Championship Series North Region at Fort Phantom MX in Abilene, Texas on Saturday and Sunday, October 10 and 11, 2026 becomes the last North round, and the series made it double points both days. The series said Fort Phantom gives racers the best track and conditions to close the region strong. The Texas State Championship reaches its 16th year in 2026 and its first as an AMA Featured Series, awarding points on a per moto basis toward the Texas #1 plate. Gates open Friday 5 to 10 PM. Saturday gates open at 6:30 with rider check-in at 7, organized practice 8 AM to noon, a mandatory riders meeting and racing to follow; Sunday gates at 6:30, check-in at 7, site lap at 8, riders meeting and racing. Gate is $30 per person for the weekend or $15 for Sunday only, practice is $30 per rider (cash only), race entry $50 per class with Pro at $60 and a 200 percent payout, and dry camping is $25 a night. You must be an AMA member to practice or race. Racing fills the weekend across classes from 50cc micro up to 450cc Pro, plus 65cc, 85cc, Supermini, Schoolboy, Women's, College and the full Vet 25+ through 50+ lineup. Fort Phantom's sand based national layout brings sweeping berms and big rhythm sections to the West Texas round. Points stay within the North region, so riders chase the title round by round. Championship points are awarded on a per-moto basis, with double points at both the Rafter S Shootout and the State Championship Final. Points earned in one region do not transfer to another, so riders must compete within their selected region to accumulate points toward the state title. Series rules: points are scored on a 25-point scale down to one point for 20th, awarded per moto at every round, with double points at the Shootout and the State Championship Final. Points do not transfer between the North, Central and South regions. The State Championship Final is open to everyone whether or not they raced a regional round, but riders who skip the regionals start the final on zero points. The season decides the official AMA Texas State Championship number one plate. Practice runs Saturday morning at the regular rounds. The Shootout and the Championship Final add a Friday practice session. Pit vehicles: four wheels only, 65 inches maximum width. No motorcycles, ATVs, mini-cycles or throttle e-bikes.
