About the AMA Motocross Championship

The AMA Motocrosss Championship, a series run by the AMA (American Motorcyclist Association), is America's top motocross racing series. The season consists of 12 rounds, with each class running two races of 30 minutes plus two laps. Races are held on outdoor dirt courses with man-made technical sections. The two classes are Motocross (4-stroke 450cc machines, or 2-stroke 250cc machines) and Motocross Lites (4-stroke 250cc machines, or 2-stroke 125cc machines). The machines are production motocross racers featuring special tuning. Along with the World Motocross Championship, AMA MX represents the pinnacle of motorcross racing, and like the AMA Supercross Championship attracts top riders from around the world.
