“Trek has been looking for ways to reach new audiences and the opportunity that Daytona Supercross presents is ideal,” said Race Shop Manager Scott Daubert. “Customization is something everybody on two wheels appreciates and we're pumped to unveil all of the custom capabilities Trek offers with our Project One custom truck on display over the weekend. We will also be offering technical to help with any minor bike issues people have throughout the event.”

In addition to their support of the RCSX event, Daytona Bicycle Center, a local Trek dealer, will be hosting Ricky Carmichael and amateur motocross racer Austin Forkner for an autograph signing this Friday, March 6 at 6 – 7 p.m. Daytona Bicycle Center is located at 362A W Granada Blvd, Ormond Beach, Florida 32174.

The RCSX class structure includes classes for youth riders on 50cc bikes all the way up to vet and senior classes.
