ENDUROCROSS COMING BACK TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

Last year was a sellout so get your tickets now at Renton Motorcycles!

The GEICO AMA EnduroCross, presented by Lucas Oil is coming back to the Pacific Northwest on Saturday, August 13th. A sold out Comcast Arena greeted the EnduroCross riders last year and based on the amazing show on the most difficult track of the season, you can be assured that tickets will go fast again. Last year’s opening race of the night had a motorcycle catch on fire after the rider crashed in a wood pit and the excitement continued all night as the wet logs and soft, rutted dirt were extremely challenging for even the best riders.

For 2011, the Everett, Washington round, sponsored locally by Renton Motorcycles and Cycle Barn, will be just two weeks after the GEICO EnduroCross series kicks off during X Games 17. The first time inclusion of EnduroCross at the X Games will showcase the talent of the top off road motorcycle racers to a worldwide TV audience and for those of you in the Northwest, you will then get your opportunity to see these same riders and teams in person. The pits are open all afternoon and it is free to watch the daytime qualifiers as the riders compete for the limited spots available for the night show in the Vet, Amateur, TrialsCross and Expert classes.

Tickets for the Everett event are available at Renton Motorcycles, www.rentonmotorcycles.com. as well as directly from the Comcast Arena at this link: http://ev12.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventList.

Tickets for X Games 17 are available now at all Ticketmaster locations and the box office at STAPLES Center. Tickets information for the remaining EnduroCross events can be found at www.EnduroCross.com.

2011 GEICO AMA EnduroCross Schedule
