Plenty of Colorado Motorcycle Racing In 2012
I thought it would be a simple thing to put up a list of motorcycle racing events going on in Colorado this summer but boy was I wrong. First off, scratch that stuff about “this summer.” The first racing I found actually takes place in March, on March 11, just 20 days from now. And then there’s so much more it’s a bit mind-boggling.
That first event is put on by the Sport Riders Association of Colorado (SRAC), and it is an AMA-sanctioned motocross event. It will be in Berthoud, at the Valley Dirt Riders Motocross Park.
The SRAC has three different series running this summer, the Spring Cup Series, the Summer Classic Series, and the Supercross Series. That’s a total of 19 race weekends altogether, scattered around between Canon City, Grand Junction, Lakewood, Berthoud, Greeley, Colorado Springs, and more.
Then we have the Rocky Mountain Trials Association (RMTA). The RMTA lists 10 events running from March 25 through October 14. Maybe you have to be in the know, as I was not very successful at figuring out where these events will be held, other than names such as Coral Bluffs, Pine Nook, Stock Ranch, Pilot Peak, Sledgehammer Gulch, and more.
Of course the one organization I’m most familiar with is the Motorcycle Roadracing Association (MRA). That picture up above is from one of their races, at High Plains Raceway. Round 1 for the MRA will be May 5-6 at High Plains. Six more rounds through September 15-16 will rotate between Fountain, Pueblo, and High Plains.
The Rocky Mountain Motocross Association (RMXA) has 21 events on their agenda, beginning March 11 in Dacono and finishing on October 7 in Sterling.
Then, just to confuse me more, several of the tracks list events that don’t seem to be on any of these organizations’ schedules so maybe they’re just events the tracks themselves are putting on. So you get the picture. If you enjoy racing you’ve got plenty to choose from, and you won’t have to go far, no matter where you live in Colorado. Hey, get your motor runnin’!
