AMA Districts question

[Rooster]

Hi all. I just joined up with AMA for this year. I am for anyting that will help unite us in our sport and cause.

My question: I see some of you post your AMA district and numbers....what do these mean and will I automatically be in a certain district and be issued a racing number just by my location etc.? Sorry for the stupid question, but I've never raced or been a member before and have no idea what all this means.

Rooster-

Not a stupid question. I have always wondered the same thing.

Go to http://www.ama-cycle.org
There is a district link that will get you to your home district. I believe Iowa is district 22. Also, for those in the midwest, check out http://www.cycleusa.com

If I remember correctly you live in Iowa which is district 22. Check out this link for all the enduro and hare scramble info.

Yep, Iowa is correct. Thanks for the link. I'll probably just go out and get myself stomped on, but what the hey, it sounds like fun!

I make it to about 75% of the enduros and hare scrambles. If you decide to go to one let me know and we'll make plans to meet you at the event or something.

The Iowa events are a lot of fun. Most of the enduros are so far back in the woods that they rarely travel on any thing but gravel roads so the police are not a problem. Their races are nothing like riding at the strip mine.

Sounds good, I'm familiar with Stratfod and Timber Ridge, used to ride in both areas. Will be in touch later on. thanks again.
