SAN BERNADINO, Calif. ”“ Glen Helen Raceway officials announced today that the West Coast-based ITP QuadCross Series will run as part of the season-opening ITP/Moose Racing AMA/ATVA National Motocross events. The races are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, March 8-9.

The QuadCross Series will run its amateur and pro events on both Saturday and Sunday, while the ATVA Pro Series will kick off its 2008 season on Sunday. The ATVA Amateur Series starts its season March 29-20 at Mill Creek MX in Pell City, Ala.

"When we completed next year's schedule, we thought it would be unfair to force our amateurs to travel cross country to compete in the first round," said Racer Productions CFO Carrie Coombs Russell. "We applaud what (Glen Helen promoter) Lori Bryant has done to make this an even more exciting show."

"We definitely want to make for a fan-friendly festival of speed at Glen Helen," said Bryant. "The ITP QuadCross is a West Coast-based Series and features some of the area's top pros and amateurs. This should be a thrilling racing weekend."

The 11-round 2008 ITP/Moose Racing AMA Pro ATV Motocross season kicks off March 9 at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, Calif. The 10-round 2008 ATVA motocross series starts March 29 and 30 at Mill Creek Raceway in Pell City, Ala. For more information about AMA Pro ATV and ATVA Motocross, visit www.atvmotocross.com.
