YOU WILL NEED A AMA MEMBERSHIP. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE THEY CAN SELL YOU ONE AT THE TRACK. SHOULD BE AROUND 40 BUCKS.

It will cost around 135$ for you to race one class, thats an AMA membership, race fee and gate fee....but plan on bringing a couple hundred extra or as much as you have cuz you never know when something will break...you can run any # you want, and youll probably want to race open C if your on a banshee

I figured id be around 200 for the weekend(assuming i dont break anything!)

Y would open C be a better class than novice?

Go for it.
AMA is better than any local series I've ever entered. Everything about it is better; track, organization, safer, and from my experience, really great competitors.

You'll use that membership again, you just need to get your feet wet! Good luck!

they do not have a novice class, they have A, B, and C. you have to be in open cuz your banshee is over the limit for 250C, and ofcourse you cant run FourStroke C.
