Unadilla AMA Pro National Goes Retro for 2009

Press Release from Alli Sports
MORGANTOWN, W.V. - Since 1969, Unadilla has been a track synonymous with motocross. The famed facility hosted its first AMA Pro Motocross national in 1972 and ever since, Unadilla has stayed true to its roots and remains one of the most unique and challenging tracks in the world. As the oldest track on the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Schedule, New Berlin, New York's historical gem has been the site of many legendary racing moments, as well as some of the most exciting races in series history.

To celebrate the track's 40th Anniversary, MX Sports Pro Racing has announced that this
summer's event will have a "Retro" theme during the August 15th event.

Everyone is invited to participate in the retro theme and is encouraged to wear something that celebrates the history of American Motocross from a bygone era. In the spirit of the old school, riders will don throwback-designed gear, reflecting the various styles, colors and patterns of the past 40 years of motocross as they fly in and out of the infamous Gravity Cavity.
