Fuzzball,

You need to see what AMA District you are in and then see if your district has a Hare Scrambles series. If so, then you can go to the website and get the classes and rules. That is your best start.

I live in Michigan and we have a pretty big series with about 13 events at about 9 or 10 tracks. I race Team class and trade on and off with my partner. We share the bike and expenses and we do have a RIOT. Our district (14) has 2 and 3 hour "solo" classes and beginner classes as well.

Good Luck Racing

Only if you were going for points at the end of the season, which I dont think would be an issue since you are just getting started.

I doubt I will trigger, this economy is really hurting me right now. My riding will be limited to Lost trails where it only costs me my gas to get there. And from what I've been hearing, possibly Paragon in the not so distant future also. I know theres people who have been riding in the old Paragon area, but I also know of a few who have been fined there, so i will wait till Paragon is back again. (yes, I am confident they will be back from what I am being told. Paperwork is still being filed through the courts, and kyle and Steph have not given up)


And since we are on the subject of riding, I think we need to plan a spring ride at Lost Trails soon :ride: As soon as the snow is gone, I will be up there working on extending the single track and will need help getting it worn in.
