RCSX Championship

FAQs

  • How many classes can I register for?

    As many as you like, but first check the published Race Order. Once published, the order is pretty well set. We publish it in advance so you can decide what classes to register for to avoid back-to-back motos.

  • How many riders can register for a class?

    Classes will be capped at either 34 or 64. Keep in mind there is only so much time in the day and not every class will be able to have 2 gates. We will decide which classes will be capped at 34/64 based on demand.

  • The class I want to race in is full. Can I register “out of class” just to get some track time?

    NO! We realize there is a great demand to race at this prestigious event, but safety is our first priority. Please try and register for your appropriate skill level class as soon as possible. Classes run a high risk of selling out.

  • Will I be able to register for a class at the event?

    You can register at the event only if there are positions available. Please be sure to check HERE to see if the class is full before making the trip.  

  • What does my rider entry fee include?

    Your rider entry fee includes your class race entry only. All riders will be required to purchase a Gate Admission Ticket and a Pro Supercross ticket if you want to see the racing Saturday evening. The Pro Supercross ticket is separate and is not included in your race entry or Gate Admission Ticket.

  • Will I need medical insurance in order to participate?

    Yes. We do not provide rider medical insurance, and due to the requirements of the Speedway, we cannot accept any riders who do not have their own medical insurance coverage. 

  • I don’t have medical insurance, but I want to race. What do I do?

    Good news!  The AMA now has a Rider Accident Medical Plan (RAMP) available to all AMA members. The coverage is very affordable and there are three options available. Benefits are paid when a covered member is injured while competing at an AMA-sanctioned event. For details about the RAMP program and to sign-up, visit www.jonesbirdsong.com.  Another option is RiderSurance. They specialize in rider medical coverage and would be happy to get you set-up. Visit at www.RiderSurance.com or call (888) 803-9433.

  • I registered online. Now what?

    Fantastic!  We can’t wait to see you at the world’s most famous racetrack. Print out the email receipt and take it with you to check-in at the Speedway.

  • I never received an email confirmation after I registered online. What should I do?

    Check again. Everyone is issued an email receipt confirming their entry. If you don’t see one, check your spam box. If you still don’t see one, call or email our office.

  • How do I get into the Speedway?

    If you are coming from I-95, exit at International Speedway Blvd and head east toward Daytona Beach. Turn right onto Williamson Blvd for 1/2 mile; then left on Midway Avenue for 1 mile; and left into Gate 50. (DO NOT enter Gate 40.) Park in the large parking lot near the Back Stretch Ticket Booth.  That is where our RCSX/MX Sports Welcome Center is located. 

  • Where do I pick up my tickets/credentials?

    You can pick up your credentials, camping passes and NASCAR Garage assignment at the RCSX/MX Sports Welcome Center located adjacent to the Back Stretch Ticket Booth at Gate 50.  You must have your credentials and camping pass in order to enter the Speedway.

    Yes. All riders and their guests must purchase a Gate Admission Ticket in addition to their rider entry fee. 

  • Does my Gate Admission Ticket include access to the Pro Supercross race Saturday evening?

    No.  If you want to attend the Saturday evening Pro Supercross, you will have to purchase a separate ticket directly from Daytona International Speedway (DIS). Tickets are $55; there are no children’s prices.  But DIS has arranged for RCSX riders and their families to choose the $60 reserved seats at the discount price of $55.  Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 concerns, fans are limited to the Pro Supercross event and tickets will sell out fast, so don’t wait.  To purchase a Pro Supercross ticket, go HERE.

  • I purchased passes for my family. Do they need to be present to pick them up?

    No. Just give us the names of your guests and we will check them in when they arrive.  Direct them to the RCSX/MX Sports Welcome Center to pick up their credentials and sign the necessary legal releases.

  • I have a 60' rig. Will I fit in the hookup camping spot?

    Hookup spots are limited to 20’ x 55’ - that’s it. So, if your rig is too long, you should not purchase a hookup as you will not fit.
