2009 AMA Motocross Schedule

Just found an interesting article on the 2009 AMA motocross Schedule, the 2009 schedule incorporates a bunch of needed changes to hopefully keep riders from signing more of those supercross only deals. (those suck!)

The most significant change to the 2009 schedule is the move to Saturday afternoon races. After introducing the format this past summer at the Thunder Valley and Steel City events, the overwhelmingly positive response prompted MX Sports to make the transition to Saturday events.

In addition, the race schedule will change to single-day competitions. Four weekends of rest are also built into the schedule in order to give riders and teams the opportunity to maximize their performance. Also, in order to help offset travel expenses, MX Sports has rearranged the events for a more cohesive and efficient travel schedule.
