Motocross is the most popular form of amateur motorcycle racing, and with classes for machines from 50cc to 500cc, and riders from four-years-old to 50-plus, it's a sport for the whole family.
0 to 69cc - for 6 to 12 year olds
70 to 90cc - for 12 to 15 year olds
91cc to unlimited - for riders 16 to 40-plus
Motocross races are run over closed courses utilizing natural terrain and some man-made obstacles to test riders' skill and speed. Tracks include hills, jumps and tight turns. One of the most strenuous sports in the world, motocross is a rugged test of endurance for both rider and machine. Motocross events are also held indoors, where the courses are much more confined and require finesse more than strength and endurance of a rider.
Most motocross events consist of two or more heats, called motos, that are run for a prescribed period of time or a set number of laps. Points are earned in each moto based on finishing position and the rider with the best total score is the overall winner. Motocross racing is popular throughout the United States, and riders participate in a highly competitive series of area and regional qualifying events in an effort to qualify for the annual AMA National Motocross Championships.

The final MX points have been updated on 11/4/08 and are all current! These points are counting the riders' best 22 finishes.
Please disregard the women's MX classes on the men's points. You need to go to the women's MX link for the current points for that division.
Ties will be broken in the following manner: The rider with the least amount of races in the class in question will be awarded the higher placing. If that number is the same the second tie breaker is head to head competition.
Please review your points and let me know of any corrections as soon as possible. After December 1st no changes will be made and the points will be final.
Any questions on the points can be directed to:
