SXCS New Season Starts October 29-30th – Why You Should Care…
2 min read
Our sister series SXCS (Sprint Cross Country Series) is entering its 4th season and we think you need to know about it!
SXCS is an AMA Featured Series Championship, and it offers THREE FORMATS of Racing for 1 AMA Championship! This series is the brainchild of Trail Pros founder, Billy Schlag. He wanted to develop an off-road series that would offer racers a crossover experience. The woods racer would learn some moto and tap into their speeds on the GP courses. The moto racer could learn to tame his speeds in the woods during the cross-country races and build endurance and they both would come together in the Sprint Enduro format which has a bit of both. In the end the SXCS racers are stepping out of their comfort zones and becoming more well-rounded racers and that is a win-win for the sport in general!
SXCS is a 6 Round race series that runs October – June. But wait – the 6 Rounds are actually more like 8 rounds because SXCS co-sanctions with US Sprint Enduro for 2 rounds which have individual points paying days! So, if you race the 2 rounds of USSE that are co-sanctioned with SXCS you will essentially be in the points for an SXCS Championship! You can learn more about SXCS HERE
The three formats are:
GP – (2-30 minute motos for adults and 2-20 minute motos for youth) The track is a blend of woods and moto… Super fun and flowy is what the Trail Pros team goes for. In our GP racing we already have a moto schedule worked out so that you can get even more seat time and possibly race in multiple classes!
Cross Country – Basically a Hare Scramble – this is an endurance race 30-45 minutes for Micros/ 1 hour for Youth / C – Classes 1 1/2 hr/ A-B Classes 2hours. Courses offer something for everyone!
Sprint Enduro – Racing will consist of 2 days and consists of 6 laps per day (courses: cross tests and woods test) Single File Racing between the ribbons. Racing is intense and super fun!
Round 1 of SXCS is Halloween Weekend – the format is a GP. That GP Points paying race is on Sunday, October 30th. On Saturday we offer a Trail Ride/Pumpkin Buddy Challege and Pit Bike Racing under the lights! Check out the flyer below and we hope to see you in a couple weeks!
