Florida Motocross Series Round 8

Round 8 of the Florida Motocross Series runs at WW Ranch Motocross Park in Jacksonville on Saturday, September 5 and Sunday, September 6. Worth knowing if you raced this round last year: it was originally scheduled elsewhere and the series moved it to WW Ranch, giving the closing of Spyder 2.0 as the reason. Make sure you are pointing at Jacksonville. Weekend running order: Friday gates 5 PM to 10 PM. Saturday gates 7 AM to 10 PM, with practice sign-up at 7 AM and practice 9 AM to 2 PM. Sunday gates open at 6:30 AM, sign-up at 7 AM, church service at 7:45 AM and the riders meeting at 8 AM, then practice follows the riders meeting with racing immediately after. Gate is $25 for Friday through Sunday, $20 for Saturday and Sunday, or $15 Sunday only. Under 5 not racing gets in free. Saturday practice is $35. Amateur race entry is $35 per class. The 250 A and 450 A classes are $50 and pay 100 percent back. Open A and B are also $50 with a minimum 100 percent payback, paid as cash to A riders and gift cards to B riders. Series membership is $25 and a full membership is required for overall series awards, or you can buy a weekend membership for $10. All 11 rounds count towards points and you need to run 9 of the 11 to be eligible for overall series awards. Every round carries a Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Race Gas award, one credit per rider per event, so make sure the series has your email address at sign-up. Full series information is at floridaseries.com.
