Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park Proud to
be Selected in 2012 Lucas Oil AMA Motocross
Championship Line-up
Lake Elsinore, Calif. -
January 11, 2012 - MX Sports Pro Racing
announced today that Lake Elsinore Motorsports
Park will be the final venue of the 12-round 2012
Lucas Oil AMA Motocross Championship on September
8th. The brand-new facility opened on December
4th, 2011 and immediately came to the forefront as
the premier motocross facility in Southern
California.
“A successful search has landed
the AMA Motocross finale at what we feel is the
ideal location for a national event in Southern
California,” said MX Sports President Davey
Coombs. “This is a brand new facility that was
built from the ground up to host such an event,
and offers riders one of the best layouts of any
track in the country. We like to close out the
summer where the sport of motocross thrives, and
we believe we’ve found the perfect place in Lake
Elsinore Motocross Park.”
Motocross and
Lake Elsinore have been synonymous since the 1960s
when the Grand Prix racers took over the town's
streets. The track first opened in 1999, but was
shut down in 2010, and left a gaping hole in the
Southern California motocross landscape. The park
was resurrected last year by Vision Quest
Enterprises owners - Tom, Gio and Joe Nanci. They
put a very large investment on the line that
caught the attention of the Lucas Oil AMA
Motocross Championship promoter – MX Sports.
“We have put a ton of
time and effort into making our track into a
national caliber facility,” said Lake Elsinore
Motorsports Park Owner Tom Nanci. “Knowing that
our track will be holding not just any national,
but the 2012 finals, is our biggest indicator that
we have succeeded. We are so excited to be
part of the 2012 Lucas Oil AMA Motocross
Championship this year, and look forward to the
coming years ahead.”
The track was designed
by Marc Peters to create a place for all skill
levels to come and have fun. The Main track, which
will be home to the event, offers a challenging
mix of elevation changes, off-camber turns,
step-ups and jumps. The 100-acre riding facility
is impressive to look at with white board fencing,
concrete spectator paths and well-placed overlooks
that allow spectators a great view of the
action.
“We’re very excited to be hosting
the final round of the 2012 Lucas Oil AMA
Motocross Championships,” said Lake Elsinore
Motorsports Park Track Manager Chad Azevedo. “To
bring in one of the biggest races of the year in
our first year of operation is a huge testament to
what we’ve been able to accomplish, and we look
forward to bringing even more for our fans in the
future.”
Currently Lake Elsinore
Motorsports Park has 4 tracks open - Main, Vet,
Peewee and Minibike. A new track for ATVs, UTVs
and short course trucks is currently under
construction, which will open the park to a new
segment of off-road enthusiasts. On the drawing
board are a swimming pool and a lake to complete
the envisioned Southern California off-road
destination experience.
The track is open
Tuesday - Sunday, from 9am to dusk. Ticket prices
