Welcome to AMA District 17, and our 2020 Event Guide
T
he American Motorcyclist Association District 17 Club Council has published this guide to inform you about us, our 40 Member Clubs and Promoters, and the 200 plus events we have scheduled across the state of Illinois and the midwest, for the 2020 riding season. The AMA District 17 Club Council was incorporated in 1974 as an organization of the AMA clubs and promoters in the northern 3/4 of the state of Illinois. Each year the Club Council sends representatives to AMA Congress in Pickering, Ohio to update the rules, classes and procedures for all of the AMA sanctioned amateur events throughout the country. We organize our events and dates into a calendar and provide yearly overall awards to the most successful participants in the more than 100 classes of nine different competition disciplines at our annual awards banquet. Our competition riders will earn points and awards competing in events held in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa in 2020. We are also active in helping protect your right to ride, nationally through the American Motorcyclist Association, and by working with our representatives in state and local governments to head off legislation that would limit your rights. We are also working to expand your recreational opportunities by working with our clubs, promoters and state government to fund existing riding areas and open new ones.
If you are a long time enthusiast, or just entering the sport, there is something for you within these pages. You will find racing events and club grounds where you and your family can spend quality time together, riding the trails, as a participant or spectator. Again, welcome to AMA District 17, we’re here to help you and your family enjoy our sport. Most of all, to have fun with your motorcycle or atv. Feel free to contact any of the clubs or promoters listed in this publication, or go to our website, amadistrict17.com, for more information. There you will find more detailed information about our organization and links to web sites of the member clubs and promoters and other sites of interest.
Enjoy our sport in 2020 and as always... Ride Safe!!! AMA District 17 Club Council Board of Directors

Racing with District 17 R
acing with the AMA District 17 Family is easy! Later in this introduction you will find the things you need to know and how to go about getting started! D17 is the foundation and “farm team of AMA” for so many riders and has produced many great riders since 1974. From Dirt Track to Trials, Motocross to Hillclimb, a quick look at the map in the back of this guide will show the vast amount of tracks and clubs to participate in all kinds of racing & riding endeavors! Quality locations, classes for all ages and abilities, the choices available for the riders in our area are second to none! Multiple Series by the individual clubs/ promoters, along with the most important District 17 Championship Series which includes ALL the tracks and clubs in AMA District 17 areas. The Champions crowned in Illinois have raced all season and have stood the test of weather and competition to stand on the top of the pedestal. Championships aren’t easy, they are
earned. This all is recognized and rewarded at the end of the season with a large annual Awards Banquet. But the key to all of this is to have a great time, enjoy the path as much as the racing - bring the family it really is a fun and challenging time! District 17 also has almost as many places to ride as it does race. Don’t forget to check out these locations, they are legal, fun, and likely close by. As a rider, you must rely on your own judgment, and you assume all risks when participating in any type of competition. Although all AMAsanctioned meets are conducted under the guidelines established in the AMA Rulebook and District Supplemental Rules, each club or promoter may operate a bit differently. There are several things you can expect regardless of where you race: *You must be a full AMA member to compete in any type of AMA Amateur Competition. If you are not a current member, you may join online or at the track on the day of an event. A link can be found on the D-17 web site.
The year-end District 17 banquet draws 500 plus attendees and hands out a ton of great awards.

AMA District 17 Event Guide, 2020
* Specific rules exist regarding minor participation, in most cases parents or legal guardian must be present. A guardian can be assigned for the day of the actual event with a properly notarized form available at amadistrict17.com. *District Membership will also be required. You will be able to join District 17 at any event, but we highly recommend using the convenient on line option right at amadistrict17.com. *All participants and spectators attending a race may be required to pay an admission fee upon entering the facility. Race participants pay a registration or entry fee. *All participants must wear a protective helmet, eye protection, gloves, a long-sleeve shirt, protective pants and boots that are at least eight inches high. *It is your responsibility to know the rules and become familiar with the AMA Rulebook. Check for the AMA rule book and D-17 supplemental rules and bike specifics on the District web site. The AMA is geographically
divided into 43 districts. A district organization is composed of enthusiasts like you, as well as clubs, promoters and elected District Officials. AMA District 17 has an abundance of motorcycling activity.
You'll have to become a member of District 17 in addition to being an AMA member. As a member of your local AMA District you may be issued a racing number, and be eligible to earn points at events in which you participate towards year-end awards. For a schedule of events in your area, refer to amadistrict17.com or this event guide. Keep in mind, changes do happen so always confirm activities with the club or promoter before making the trip. You can also contact your district organization for information on schedules, racing numbers, rules or other more localized questions. A good place to start may be the Director of the division of the sport you wish to get involved with... example, contact the Motocross Director to answer a motocross related question. Check out AMA District 17 in 2020!

Hare Scrambles, always H
are Scrambles are conducted on a marked course over natural or manmade terrain, where most courses average 2.5 to 8 miles. The terrain runs in the woods, fields, and hills or whatever the promoter has to use. The events are run for a designated number of laps or for a prescribed race time, typically 1.5 to 2 hours long. Competitive riders not only need to be fast, but physically fit enough to maintain a race pace for hours at a time. This said, all types of riders participate in these events as they are as much fun as they are challenging. Some are very serious and extremely fast - others look at it as a good competetive trail ride for the day, and there’s a class for everyone. Different classes include: AA for the top riders, then A, B and C for
beginners and each level has bike cc size within the class. There are also age classes with different skill levels mixed in as well. Divisions range from +30 to +60 with novice to advanced levels. We also have classes for 4-Wheelers at many events. The 4-Wheelers run at a different time and do not compete against the motorcycles. Hare-Scramble events are a family affair. We also have classes for the little racers. 50cc classes with groups as young as four year olds, a 65cc class for 7 to 11 year olds, and 85cc classes kids up to fifteen years old. There’s also a Women’s class for riders 13yrs and up, on 86cc to 250cc size bikes. So with all of these options it is easy for riders of all skill levels to come out and have fun at these excellent events.

Gran Prix keeps growing G
ran Prix racing has been around District 17 for several years now... and it keeps on growing in popularity among riders from all sorts of backgrounds. Changes to the classes and process have been done over the years to address rider’s feedback and streamline the race day even further. A, B, C and age classes will be run along with Pre-Modern and the Women’s class. The long motos offer a real value to riders. A nice blend of natural terrain, man made obstacles, grass track and easy trails to bring it all together for a great day of racing/ riding. Less is more with GP racing! Less classes run during the day means more riding, and less time waiting. Motos are on average about twenty minutes long, with a ten total moto layout the day’s program takes a little longer than five hours. Less wait time, and if you ride multiple classes, you will have a solid workout and good day of racing. FUN! With the courses that we have seen the past couple years, riders have expressed what a great time racing at these events is. Gran Prix’s offer the intensity of motocross but less aggressive air time. They offer trails
experience without the need to have brush guards. And as a bonus some events offer grass track experience and/ or Endurocross obstacles. New venues makes us all excited to see how this part of the District will grow! More GP's on the schedule gives the riders a value with more choices and less travel times. It is a norm to see old school enduro riders and hard core hare scramble competitors
mixing it up with motocrossers, young and old at GP’s. They really are attractive to a wide variety of riders and we expect their growth in popularity to keep expanding.

Enduros, Ultimate Off-Road
D
o you like to get a full day of riding in with friends? If so the District 17 Enduro series is for you. You can signup with friends and treat it like an organized trail ride or race against the clock and challenge your ability and your mind. District 17 enduros are using the Start Control format where no timekeeping is needed. Our Enduro series has some of the best trail in the midwest and the events are put on by riders for riders. So pick an event or two and come enjoy a District 17 Enduro. District 17 also has sprint enduros on the schedule. A sprint enduro consists of three or more test sections that you get more than one shot at riding and try to beat your previous score. Sprint enduros are a lot of fun and you can ride with your buddies all day, challenging one another to see who can be the best in each test section. District 17 has two nationals on the schedule this year, these are always fun with good flowing trail while getting to watch the best in the business race throughout the day. Enduros are one of the oldest forms of motorcycle competition. Run on a challenging route that includes wooded and more difficult "test" sections are typically connected with roads, fire roads or easy two-track trail. Enduros can vary greatly across the country, but one thing is certain everywhere: They are one of the most enjoyable, thrilling and fulfilling forms of motorsports competition.

Trials, a low speed thriller! U
nique in the world of motorcycle competition, observed trials puts no emphasis on speed. Observed trials competitors must negotiate several "sections" of difficult terrain without putting their feet down. Penalty points are assessed for mistakes, and the rider with the lowest overall score at the end of the day wins. Most trials events are held in the timber, riding through creeks and over logs & rocks. There are different classes based on experience, not age or cycle size. You may have a 12 year old riding against an 80 year old! Trials is a very family friendly sport. A trials competi-
16
AMA District 17 Event Guide, 2020
tion normal has sections that designed for true beginners, to those that are so difficult, it’s hard to imagine a mountain goat traversing them, much less a rider on two wheels. There really is something for everyone in Observed trials! It isn’t at all uncommon to find a rider that has riden thier entire life as say a motocrosser, stopping in to spectate at a trials event, and going out to buy a bike for it soon after. It is easy to get
hooked on this form of competition. It doesn’t take a lot of land to practice the skills. The bikes are often quite quiet... and we are seeing some of the best performances put in on electric bikes now as well. The trill is in mastering low speed skills of balance, timing and pure bike/ body control.

District 17 2020 Flat F
lat Track motorcycle racing is an offspring of the famous Board Trackers of the early part of the twentieth century. In the early days, the daring board trackers would travel speeds close to 100 miles per hour on bicycle size tires on an elevated wooden track made of planks of lumber. Eventually, the first American born form of motorcycle racing hit the dirt in the early 1920s. The 2020 District 17 Dirt Track schedule consists of races across the state of Illinois in three different formats; Short tracks- typically under 1/3 mile, these events offer close elbow to elbow, fast-paced action. Tourist Trophy (or
18
AMA District 17 Event Guide, 2020
TT)- 1/3 to ½ mile tracks with at least one right hand turn and a small jump or elevated section. Finally, Half Milestypically run on limestone or clay horse racing tracks, power and finesse is the name of the game with the big bikes
hitting speeds greater than 100 miles per hour. Running flat out from start to finish, the roar of half mile motorcycle racing has been pleasing crowds for over a century. In today’s world of Dirt Tracking the modern-era four strokes are the most popular for grassroots racing, however the vintage bikes still hold a special place for many riders. For those interested in getting started, first timers can find a 125cc or 250cc bike already set up to ride for a relatively low investment. Eighteen different classes have been established, covering ages from 4 to 84. Some examples are 50cc shaft or chain, 65cc, 85cc, 250cc, 450cc and Open classes (these should be reserved for the more
Track Championships experienced riders), then we have the dedicated age classes for 30+, 40+ and 50+. Last but not least, quad racers are also covered, with 2 youth classes (ages 6 and up) and 3 amateur/adult classes for riders ages 13 and up. If you’re coming to watch, check the AMA district site for the schedule. Practice typically takes about an hour, followed by heat races and the main events. Make a day of it or come out later and check out the mains- no matter when you make it out you’re guaranteed to catch some great racing!

D17 Hill Climbing D
istrict 17 has a very active hill climb program, with twenty individual events at seven different club grounds. The season starts weekend in April, and extends through October. A fun part of many of these events is that they are double headers... with two events over a weekend at a single location. The hills range in length from 90 to 200 feet and degrees of difficulty from easy to quite challenging. There are classes ranging from 50cc up to the Open class (over 750cc), with stock classes for those who like to run their motocross or trail bikes and two Quad classes. Ages of competitors range from 4 to 60+. Senior classes (40+ and 50+) are offered for veterans who like to compete against others their own age. Youth classes include 4-8 50cc, 6-11 65cc, 7-11 85cc, and 12-15 85cc. We have a class for you. Many riders compete in multiple classes at each event. The 750cc and Open classes are particularly interesting, as the riders have converted large street machines into fire breathing racers. You'll see the infa-
mous Kawasaki 3 cylinder 2-stroke streak of lightning racers, four cylinder Yamahas, Suzukis, Hondas and Kawasakis, the vertical twins of Triumph, BSA and Norton, and, of course, the big and bad Harleys, some running engines in excess of 1600cc. It's a sound and sight delight! It's a unique sport - filled with unique machines and fearless riders. Hill climbing is a family sport - you’ll find fathers and sons riding in the same event - and several young ladies compete also. Most clubs run two day events and allow free camping on their grounds, so one of the best parts of hill climbing is the camaraderie of the many families and friends enjoying each other's company in the overnight camping. Most youth riders come with their complete families, and District 17 is quite generous with youth awards - both at the individual events and at the District 17 awards banquet. Hill climbing is also a very spectatorfriendly sport. You can set up your blanket, canopy, etc, and sit back and enjoy the excitement as all the action is right in front of
you. And the action is incredible - spectacular crashes now and then but lots of exciting motorcycle action all the time. If you've never seen a motorcycle hill climb, your sport spectating experience is not complete. And if you think you'd like to try it, but don't have a 'real' hill climber, bring out your MX'er, trail bike or quad - all it needs is a tether kill switch and you're ready to ride. We have a stock class for your bike.

District 17 Motocross M
otocross & Stadium Motocross are some of the most popular forms of amateur motorcycle racing, and with classes for machines from 50 to 500cc, and riders from fouryears-old to 50-plus, it’s a sport for the whole family. District 17 has more races, and more places to practice than any other part of the country! District 17 clubs and promoters are constantly improving their facilities to make sure they offer riders everything they can. No where in the country can a better group of facilities be found. All the events on District 17’s schedule count for points, unless specially noted. You’ll also see events indicated as Bonus points, where a rider earns a higher level of year-end points at these events. The 2020 Illinois State Championship event will be held September 13th in Wilmington, IL. This is a double points paying event. Points are

important to riders as they collect them based on their results all season, in hopes of a top finish at year-end, and special recognition at District 17’s annual banquet. Motocross races are run on 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. Stadium MX (Supercross style) is mainly made up of man made obstacles, and often utilizes the heat/ main formats. Stadium MX racing in District 17 is mainly run on Friday or Saturday nights, on smaller
tracks and they are usually very spectator friendly. Most motocross events consist of two or more heats, called motos, those 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. Stadium MX racing is a heat/ main format type race, which means the results from the Main event are the final results. Motocross and Stadium motocross racing is popular throughout the United States. Many different series of events, district oriented championships, and also national level events can be found in District 17 at one time or another. Racing from as early as March can happen and we race into mid November!
