OHV Use MESA, AZ
The Arizona Motorcycle Riders Association
(AMRA) will hold the eighth round of the American Motorcyclist
Association (AMA) National Hare Scrambles Series, hosted by
the Rock Stars Motorcycle Club (RSMC), in Globe, AZ, over
the weekend of October 21 and 22, 2007.
“The Gila County Hare Scrambles is expected to be one of the
best attended off-road races in Arizona over the last 10
years,” said Todd Johnson, president of the RSMC. This event
will be the fifth round for AMRA’s 2007 series. The best riders
from across the nation are slated to attend and challenge
the local Pros for top honors.
The event will be held at the
Gila County Fairgrounds Complex in Globe, Arizona,
a quaint town rich in mining, history and charm, located about
75 miles east of Phoenix.
The event will have a four-race
format spreading across both days, which will include a spectator-friendly
course of tight trails, dirt roads, sandwashes, and an Endurocross
section. There will also be a kid’s race on a shortened course.
Up and coming local rock band Jeff Senour and CTS will be
performing Saturday night on the Fairgrounds main stage.
Responsible
off-highway vehicle recreation and maintaining access to riding
areas on public land are important issues to AMRA and RSMC
and the off-road community. For this reason, a large portion
of the proceeds from this event will be donated directly to
the Arizona Off-Highway Vehicle Coalition (AZOHVC), a nonprofit
statewide incorporated association of Arizona recreation enthusiasts
and others involved in Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) recreation.
Their mission is to protect and secure shared trail access
for OHV and other recreationalists. AMRA and
RSMC Arizona Motorcycle Riders Association was formed in 2004
by a group of off-road enthusiasts whose goal is to add more racing
opportunities throughout Arizona. Their intent and purpose
is to help organize Arizona racing and cooperate with local
motorcycle clubs to promote events. The Rock Stars Motorcycle
Club is a family oriented Arizona off-road
motorcycle club whose mission is not only to put on off-road
motorcycle events but also preserve the sacred riding areas
for trail riding and family outings. They are committed to
working with any and all Land Managers or Administrators to
the fullest extent of the law to create and maintain positive
OHV opportunities for Rock Stars and all other OHV enthusiasts.
The goal is to preserve these areas for present and future use. For more
