Anyone know how Hartlove's Mtx races are run...? Is it like a BMX race where there are seperate moto's and you go to a main depending on how you place? Or do you have to win each of your moto's/transfer to semi's and all that good stuff.? Any help would be great. Also does anyone have any pics from last years blue knob mtx course, or know what it is like? I talked to Kalan about it a snowshoe last weekend but already forgot what he said...sorry.

I believe they will run a qualifying run to seed each class. Then either run brackets of 4 elimnating the bottom 2 from each round, or in the event of a small trurnout seed the riders then run a best of three races.. What age and catagory are you? BK is rocky, If mike uses the same course It is rocky up top and somewhat long . Good jumps, Plenty of passing areas etc.. Best of luck

Sport is a good start, there is lots of practice time, I'm sure you could bump up to x if you wanted to... See you there Charles
