miniXcross Haunted Edition and PW50 Challenge

Halloween racing for kids. Metroplex Motocross Park in Fort Worth, Texas runs the Haunted Edition of the miniXcross Youth Racing Series (sponsored by NP Racing) on Saturday, October 31, 2026, together with the 5th Annual Lone Star Yamaha PW50 miniXcross Challenge. The PW50 Challenge is a one-round, regular two-moto race for 4 to 8 year olds, $40 entry, with championship trophies five places deep, and everyone is welcome; you do not need to be in the series to race it. Riders in the electric balance bike classes go into a halftime drawing for a Metroplex Big Bear in front of the miniXcross billboard, sponsored by NP Racing. Saturday gates open at 7 AM, registration is at 8, practice at 9 and races follow. Friday night is camping only: gates open 5 to 10 PM, dry camping is $15, and there is absolutely no riding Friday. The race is AMA sanctioned, so every rider needs an AMA membership and the 2026 annual release form, and chest and back protection is now required for all riders. Pre-register online through Trackside. Every class is $40 except the Stacycs at $30. The card runs the PW50 Challenge (4-8); 50cc 4-8 Shaft Drive Limited, 4-6 and 7-8 Limited (no Mini-E), 4-8 Open Limited and Mini-E 50cc Open; 50cc Beginner and Wobbler 50cc for first-timers; 65cc 7-9, 10-11, 7-11 Open and Beginner; 85cc Beginner 9-13; pit bike Beginner through 15, 110cc through 10, 11-15, 16+ and Mad Dog; and Stacyc 12-inch, 16-inch, 5+, Brushless Open and a 4-and-under exhibition. Beginner classes are for riders who have not raced miniXcross in 2025. Online registrations still check in at the tower before racing, and there are no refunds once the race order is posted.
