The 2020 National Grand Prix Championship off-road racing series features 10 rounds in southwestern United States
This is a press release from AMA…
Pickerington, OH (January 18, 2020) – The American Motorcyclist Association’s Grand Prix National Championship gets its 10-round 2020 season underway on January 18 at Mavericks Stadium in Adelanto, California.
The series, which includes motorcycle and ATV classes, visits venues in three states in 2020 and is organized by Big 6 Grand Prix Series Inc. The Big 6 Grand Prix Series was started in 1995 by six motorcycle clubs in AMA District 37.
“It’s the second year that Big 6 has operated the AMA Grand Prix National Championship, and the series has added two events for this year,” AMA Off-Road Racing Manager Erek Kudla said. “Big 6 has successfully operated an off-road grand prix series for more than 20 years, and we’re looking forward to the discipline’s continued growth.”
The AMA’s involvement in off-road grand prix racing dates to at least the 1950s, when some of the top competitors of the time — including AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famers Ed Kretz Jr., Nick Nicholson, Chuck “Feets” Minert and Walt Axthelm — took part in the Catalina Grand Prix (1951-1958) alongside local racers and celebrities. The discipline has remained popular since then, especially on the West Coast.
