The local motocross club, Big Timbers Dirt Riders, Inc. (BTDR) is pleased to announce completion of plans to bring sanctioned motocross racing to Lamar. BTDR is affiliated with the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and Rocky Mountain Motocross Association (RMXA). These affiliations allow Big Timbers Motosports Park to host sanctioned race events that will draw amateur and professional riders of all ages to Lamar.

AMA/RMXA sanctioned races are scheduled for May 16th and July 3rd. Fast Company Racing has chosen Big Timbers Motosports Park in Lamar as the host facility for their Rocky Mountain Amateur Championships over Labor Day weekend.

 

In addition to RMXA points races, BTDR is planning several events throughout the summer for area riders. A Grand Opening barbecue is also being planned. Area motorcycle riders interested in joining BTDR are encouraged to contact a board member for more information. Board members are: Don Yoxsimer, John Davis, Chana Reed, Kathy McCorkle, Dave Kraft, Don Lynn, Dean Reed, Diana Trumble and Rick McCorkle. Rick McCorkle has also been named track promoter.

Big Timbers Motosports Park will be a combined motocross / supercross track located at 9053 Highway 196 at the former Lamar Speedway track. Track construction is scheduled to begin early next year.
