THE MOTOPLAYGROUND RACE... TAKE ONE:
Ponca City, Oklahoma is nestled in the core of the great American heartland - an area of the country deeply rooted in hundreds of years of history. There’s no better place for an event that encapsulates the core of amateur motocross to call home than the epicenter of this culturally ingrained locale. Amateur racing is the lifeblood of the sport; the families, the riders, the track workers, and the fans are what continues to keep the wheels churning. The professional ranks grab all the attention, the pinnacle of the sport steals the shine with all its glitz and glamour, but the grit and fervor that weighs down the air of an amateur event cannot be matched by the largest of sold out stadiums.
