RCSX Welcomes Returning Sponsors to Seventh Annual Event
Amateur Racers to Benefit from Industry Support
The Seventh Annual Ricky Carmichael Daytona Amateur Supercross is quickly approaching and MX Sports and 15-time National Champion Ricky Carmichael are pleased to welcome back a host of returning sponsors. The event takes place Sunday, March 6 and Monday, March 7 at the historic Daytona International Speedway, will feature some of the biggest names in amateur racing, as well as the industry as a whole.
The unique race takes place just one day after the Daytona Supercross by Honda, allowing for the sport’s upcoming stars to ride on the same track as their idols.
The event is supported by the most prestigious companies in the business, including AMSOIL, Rocky Mountain ATV/MC, Bell Helmets, Pro Circuit, Fox Racing, Cometic Gasket, Sunoco Race Fuels, Thor and FLY Racing.
AMSOIL and Rocky Mountain ATV/MC will play a key role in the LIVE streaming production provided via RacerTV. Both companies remain heavily involved in amateur racing and their support only continues to grow. Race fans from across the world will have the opportunity to watch their favorite racers battle in the finals for the No. 1 plate during the Racer TV LIVE streaming on Monday, March 7.
Cometic Gasket will be retuning for their fourth straight year. Cometic stays involved with racers throughout their support of the nation’s top amateur events, such as RCSX and the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship.
The Holeshot Awards will once again be sponsored by Bell Helmets. Bell Helmets will be providing a $100 gift certificate to every racer who claims the holeshot in each of the 36 final class motos.
Fox Racing, Thor, Pro Circuit and FLY Racing will continue to back the unique two-day amateur supercross event. Sunoco Race Fuels, a brand synonymous with Daytona International Speedway, will return as the official race fuel of RCSX. Sunoco will have fuel available for purchase both days of the event.
The structure includes 36 classes for youth riders on 50cc bikes all the way up to vet and senior classes. The race will follow a supercross format, using heat races and last chance qualifiers in each class to seed the field of riders over the course of two days into a main event on Monday.
This event also serves as the opening round of the 10-round Womens Motocross Championship (WMX), featuring the fastest females on two wheels. Racers must be pre-approved for a 2016 WMX license before registering. For more information on the WMX schedule, licensing and rules please click HERE.
