Pros Head To Stateline Supermoto Challenge

In just a few days the largest three day racing event in North America will host hundreds of pro and amateur Quad, Supermoto and UTV (Side X Side) racers have already signed up for the Stateline Supermoto Challenge through xbux.com.

Pro Tune Up This is the first opportunity each year for racers to checkout their competition, equipment and get ready for the upcoming season. Since the Stateline Supermoto Challenge happens a week before the AMA Supermoto kickoff at the ESPN Moto X World Championships X-Games in San Diego, racers such as [B][I]Currie, Dymond, Carlson, Nicoll, Fillmore, Drew, Trachy, Herfoss[/I][/B] and the like will be tuning up for the start of their season.

One pro that is pre-registered and looking to get a handle on his 2008 KTM 450 SX-F equipment is Chris Fillmore of HMCRacing.com.

“I really like this event, the dirt section is always demanding and the parking lot track proves a real challenge to get your suspension set up right,” said Fillmore.

Entertainment
The Jagermeister Music mobile concert stage will be on hand and kicking the weekend off with a Guitar Hero contest on Friday night. Saturday afternoon, the So-Cal all girl rock band Beauty-In-Stereo hits the Jagermeister stage. After the racing action is finished on Saturday, the ultru fun rock n’ roll karaoke band, Cover Me Badd will be rocking out with singers from the audience jumping up on stage to showcase their vocal talents.

Team Races
One of the biggest thrills of the three day event is the team races that include two racers and two bikes per team. During the race up to 35 teams per class compete and change riders every ten minutes by rolling down the NASCAR-style pit lane and touching their front wheel to their teammate’s rear wheel. After the touch is made the competitor roars off into battle for another session of heated competition.

Tickets with pit passes are $30.00 for the weekend, and $15 for a day at the gate. Racers can pre-register sign up at XBUX.com, or sign up at the event. Complete event information is available at www.statelinechallenge.com.
