The main event is a team format race with each team consisting of 3 riders. Each team will designate 1 rider for each heat/class race. There will be an A, B, & C class race. There are no rules to which rider can ride in which class. Although typically teams have assigned their top rider to the A class and so on down to B and C. That being said some teams have 3 A quality riders and some may have all C quality riders. The decision on who rides which is completely up to the team. The only guidelines for comprising a team is that each team may only have 1 current pro card holder. Points are awarded to the teams by way of where each rider places in their respective heat. At the end of all 3 races team points are totaled up and the team with the best average finishing position will be crowned Des Nations Champion.
Featured Races
Kids Race!
There's nothing we enjoy more than watching the future of Motocross. Growing the sport is always of the utmost importance to the crew here at Des Nations. There's no better way to do that, than getting the kids out on the track for some laps in an official race! This race is for kids 10 & under. No certain level of experience is required. As long as they can get on a bike and make it around the track this race welcomes you. So bring your kids out, peak their interests, and make some memories as a family.
Open Class Race
The open class race is available to any and everybody not competing in the main event. Weren't able to get a team together but really want to ride and check out the track? Are you a spectator but brought your bike just in case? Didn't meet the age requirement for the kids race? Then this race is for you and anybody who just wants to get some laps in. So enter your name and get ready to ride.
Ladies Only Race
We always strive to be inclusive and offer opportunities for the girls to duke it out in their own bragging rights race. Ladies love to ride too and have shown over the years that they can stack up with the boys as well. Age requirements are 11 & up any girls 10 & under can enter the kids race. But don't take this as a slight you ladies are also more than welcome to put a team together for the main event if you please or feel free to whip up on the boys in the open class. We just like to offer this race for the girls who want to have their own thing because of course girls rule!!!
