We are keen as to fly over and do some riding before and after the mini sx in Vegas, We fly in from Australia on about the 15th of April and staying til the 15th of May...

We would love to get your input on how we should plan our trip out... We are first timers to Vegas...

We have from the 15th of April til May 15th...

What lead up to vegas races will be on? How far from Vegas?

Where should we go practising and riding before and after vegas...

We don't mind hiring a car and hitting the road...

Also does any one know what the law is on bike importing? We will be send ing our bikes from Australia and some from china and some parts from Japan?

thanks heaps for ya help and looking forward to banging bars come vegas time!

Tracks in Southern Cali would be...
Milestone Ranch MX Park, Inc. - Home
Lake Elsinore_____________________________
RaceTown 395, It's YOUR Track!
Welcome to RideCEMX.com - Official Web Site of Competitive Edge Motocross Park!
STARWEST - "Southern California's Premiere Motocross Park"

The only tracks not requiring you to buy a membership will be Racetown 395, and Competitive Edge. I have heard you can pay a higher practice fee and ride at Milestone without buying a membership. Starwest will for sure make you buy their annual "insurance" in order to ride. Lake Elsinore will also make you buy a membership. I would look to stay near my place in Victorville/Hesperia area. For two reasons, it's on the main road you will need to take to get to Vegas and two of the tracks to ride (comp Edge and Racetown395) are here.

kylebosch24 · 01-21-2009, 06:18 PM

ya comp edge is cool and race town

kylebosch24 · 01-21-2009, 06:19 PM

i mean best track to train for mini moto would proably b starwest, its a real tight stupid track haha
milestone is prob are best track so far down here thats fun just to ride
_milestone in riverside ca
if u guys came down through ontario airport in ca
milestone is about 15 minutes from there
elsinore is about 40 as well as starwest

im sure if u said ur in ca for a race in vegas and ur from australia they wont make u buy a membership

Fly into LAX or Ontario Intl, either one is fine. Rent a Van and just drive after that.

I don't see any races scheduled yet during the time you will be here. There usually is something going on. But worst case scenario, we can always organize a ride day or two or three..lol.

I did not register to race so I couldn't help you with the AMA license stuff. You should probably contact AMA.

smif53 · 01-25-2009, 08:14 PM

thanks again boys... ill sus this AMA license out and get my entry sorted out. Let us know if there is any races on in that time, We are keen as!!!
