Have gotten a couple of requests for information on how to start racing, so I thought I’d share the info here in advance of next season! It’s really simple:
1) Signup and Register as a member on the American Motorcyclist Association website here: https://americanmotorcyclist.com/members-community/members/join-the-ama/
This is required in order to race in AMA Sanctioned Races. All Minor Waivers must be completed.
2) Signup and Register with AMA District 17 (for Illinois, other states are broken into other Districts you must register with if racing in a different state. Here’s the link for AMA District 17: https://amadistrict17.com/services/application%20base.html
All Minor and Release waivers must be completed.
Here’s a map to other Districts: https://racedriven.com/ama-districts/
3) For the District you’re registering with select the types of racing (SX, MX, GP, HS, etc) and the Class you wish to race in (Open A/B/C, 125cc, 250cc, Schoolboy, etc.)
Once you receive your District Card, take a look at Race Schedule, and decide when and where you want to race. Here’s a link to the D17 2024 Race Schedule for an example: https://m.amadistrict17.com/services/2024schedule.htm
Most importantly, everyone you meet at a race is most likely going to be more than happy to assist you! So reach out, say hi and introduce yourself! This is a really awesome and super helpful community you’ll be joining!
If you have any questions, just DM! Otherwise hope to see you out there!!!
