First, join the AMA. Participants in AMA-sanctioned competition events must join up. Not only does the AMA provide consistent rules and guidelines that make racing fairer and safer, the AMA Government Relations Department fights for motorcyclists rights on the national level and helps organize and support local battles. There is strength in numbers, and we need everybody to be on board.
Second, download a copy of the 2019 AMA Amateur Competition Rulebook. In the rule book, you’ll learn which nationally recognized classes you’re eligible to enter and find out how to make your bike legal for competition. Although the vast majority of riders compete in the official AMA classes, AMA-chartered organizers also can advertise and run special classes that have local appeal. Contact the promoters for information about these classes.
Third, read the Competition Annual Minor Liability Release. Print the forms. Then, submit the completed form to the AMA.
Fourth, find an event. Look up a race near you by searching our online database of AMA-sanctioned racing events.
