Unadilla is the home of New York’s only Pro National MX and continues to be the place to race on National weekend. This year’s Pro National weekend presented by Renegade will be no different. Over 1,000 racers will compete in 30 classes and in as many as 50 motos each day!. This is not just a local amateur event. Racers last year came from Canada and 17 states to be a part of Unadilla Pro National weekend.

UNADILLA IS ONE OF THE ONLY TRACKS THAT OFFERS TWO FULL DAYS OF AMATEUR RACING AROUND NATIONAL WEEKEND. All racing is conducted on U2, our very popular and challenging amateur track. Because this track is separate from our national track, you the racer get a longer, more challenging track and longer motos too! If racing is running long on Saturday, we do not need to shut down for the pros!!!


Returning again for 2008 is the Pro-Am racing program on Friday and Saturday for those looking for points towards their AMA Professional Motocross and Lites endorsement.

Pre-entry is strongly encouraged but not required. Racers under the age of 18 who will not be attending with their parent(s), should read further for more information about completing the entry process. The AMA “Competition Membership” card will not be honored without either a parent in attendance OR a signed, notarized permission slip specific to this event and location. Further information can be found under the “Entry Details” section.

Entry Information:

The following is the information you need to both pre-enter and post-enter the amateur event.

  • Each racer must be an AMA member (you can join at the track)
     

  • District card or race receipt required to verify which class you belong in (A,B, or C). This helps us to make sure entry in ability class is fair to all.
     

  • District membership not required
     

  • All racers under 18 years of age must be accompanied by their parent. If a parent will not be in attendance then a notarized permission slip is absolutely required. THE AMA COMPETITION MEMBERSHIP CARD DOES NOT REPLACE THIS REQUIREMENT. The permission slip must read as follows:
     

(Date)

                        I hereby give permission for my (son/daughter), (child’s full name), to race in the Annual Amateur Summer Classic motocross at Unadilla Motocross, New Berlin, NY on July 18 & 19, 2008. (Name) will be responsible for (him/her) during the event.

 

                                        Signed __________________

                                    ****Notarized

A notary public can be found at your bank, local government offices, local public schools, and in many places of business. The permission slip MUST be notarized.

  • Qualifiers limited to Pro-Am classes only. All others with over 41 racers will be split into groups. All groups run a 2 moto format and are scored separately.
     

Pre-Entry:

  • Pre-entry is highly recommended. Not only is it cheaper for you, but it helps us to get classes set up more quickly and a race schedule drafted before the weekend. The sooner we can get started on Friday, the less pressured your racing experience will be.
     

  • Those who pre-enter must still go to sign-up to the pre-entered area to complete releases and obtain practice tickets.
     

  • Pre-entered riders only may begin check-in at registration area at 6 pm on Thursday evening.
     

  • Pre-entry must be postmarked by June 30, 2008.
     

  • If you pre-enter and need to cancel your entry, we will gladly refund 100% of your fees if you notify us by July 14th that you are unable to participate.

  • All those interested in entering the pits must be there in person to sign the insurance release. Any minor under 18 must be accompanied in the pits by a parent/guardian. No personal checks will be accepted.

Riders and teams determine the amount of time each racer will be available for autographs. We cannot guarantee the availability of any particular racer on either day.

Guests in the pits are expected to act appropriately. Please do not beg or pester riders for items that do not belong to you (i.e.: rider’s jerseys, goggles, helmets, etc.). Open pits are not a right. Each year the promoters of the national mx series receive complaints about fan behaviour during open pits. The complaints have to be addressed in a satisfactory way before there is agreement to allow open pits again this year. Make sure that you don’t do anything that will ruin this in the future.

Pit Vehicles:

  • May be used with permit only; $10 per permit
     

  • May be used from arrival Thursday-9pm Saturday night

  • Permits are available at sign-up on Thursday night and Friday morning for $10 per vehicle. Any pit vehicles without a permit can be disabled for the weekend.
     

Arrival Information:

NEW YORK STATE REGULATIONS NO LONGER ALLOW FOR EARLY ARRIVALS. OUR GATES WILL OPEN AT NOON ON THURSDAY. DO NOT ARRIVE EARLIER AS THERE WILL BE NO PLACE FOR YOU TO PARK. PULLING OVER ON ROUTE 8 PUTS YOU AND OTHERS IN DANGER. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY.
  • Amateur racers should watch for entry arrows upon arrival. Alternate gates will be utilized due to volume and during inclement weather. All vehicles will be subject to a vehicle search prior to entering our grounds at any time, including any re-entry.
     

  • Due to the size of this event, maintaining your safety on Rt. 8 is a primary concern. Although we try to take people first come first served, this isn’t always possible due to both the back-up conditions on the highway and the volume of racers who all arrive within the same time span.
     

  • Fire lanes on the amateur campground are a requirement of the State of New York. On this issue, we think they are right. We need to be able to get to you if there is an emergency situation. If we don’t have fire lanes, we will be required by state officials to empty the lot and re-park everyone. No one wants this to happen. Therefore, we will park you upon arrival. If you want to park with someone in another vehicle, you must arrive together. No spots can be held.
     

  • For over 10 years, we have not offered spectator camping. Your family or crew needs to be in attendance by Friday.  If you are arriving separately, you will need to sign in anyone joining you later.
     

  • NO VENDING IS ALLOWED AT ANY TIME- IF YOU DON’T HAVE PERMISSION TO SELL IT, LEAVE IT HOME!!
     

  • Please note that spectator camping is not available at Unadilla during Pro National Weekend. Overnight camping is allowed for amateur racers and their families at no additional charge. All crew and family members will need to arrive prior to Friday night in order to join you.
