Carolina MX Fall Series Round 2: 26th Annual Gold Cup Race

Round 2 of the 2026 Carolina MX Fall Series at East Bend Motorsports, on Saturday September 5: the 26th Annual Gold Cup Race. The Classic Gold Cup goes to the winner, with awards to the top 10. Gates open at 1:00 PM, practice runs at 3:30 PM and racing starts at 4:45 PM. Note the series runs two different timetables: the earlier rounds start in the afternoon, and from October 17 the whole day moves earlier as the light goes. AWARDS EVERY RACE. Trophies, plaques or awards are guaranteed 10 deep in every class, and every 50cc and 65cc rider gets an award. 250A and 450A pay 100 percent of entry fee, as do 25+A, 30+A and 40+A. THE SERIES PRIZE IS THE REAL ONE. Win your class championship and you race the entire 2027 Spring Series FREE, at every round. Class champs also get a number 1 plate and a jacket, series trophies go to everyone who qualifies, and there is over $60,000 in total prizes across the series. You must race 6 of the 8 rounds to be eligible, and only your best 7 count, so running all 8 gives you a throw-away. ENTRY. $30 if you register online, $35 at the track. A $17.76 membership is required and has to be filled out online. Online registration closes at 7 PM the Friday before the race, and pre-registering speeds up sign up because both windows are used on race day for riders who booked ahead. First moto gate pick is now based on the order of sign up. Gate admission is $15 per person, free for 4 and under. The series banquet is at the Village Inn in Clemmons, NC, date to be announced.
