The ATVPG and the ATVA, administrators of the ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship Series Presented by Parts Unlimited, have announced the creation of a North and South Challenge. Consisting of six races each, the Challenge is a program within the Championship Series established to accommodate those who are unable to contest the entire National circuit.

"In these tough economic times, we had a lot of requests to make it possible for families to still participate in the Nationals," said Sam Gammon director of the ATVPG. "Although winning a Challenge title does not supersede a National title, it does merit prestige for riders who chose to participate."

For riders who attend all six events of either the North and/or South Challenge, the Top 3 in each of the 35 amateur and youth classes will earn special awards at the final event of the series. Points will automatically accumulate for both the AMA ATV Motocross Championship and the respective North/South Challenge at each National event.

The Challenge Schedules are:

NORTH CHALLENGE
May 15/16 - Sunset Ridge MX, Walnut, IL
June 12/13 - Spring Creek Motocross Park, Millville, MN
July 3/4 - Pleasure Valley, Armagh, PA
July 17/18 - Unadilla, New Berlin, NY
