Aonia Pass to Replace Big Cedar on AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship
Regional Schedule

Morgantown, W.Va. (November 10, 2009) - MX Sports announces that Big Cedar MX, in Valley, Ala., scheduled to host the Southeast Youth Regional on June 12-13 will no longer be on the 2010 Regional Championship Schedule. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the owners recently decided to no longer hold motocross events at their facility, therefore, Aonia Pass MX in Washington, Ga., will fill the void in the schedule.

"It is unfortunate that we had to move the Southeast Youth regional from Big Cedar but we are excited to be at such a great facility like Aonia Pass," said Tim Cotter, Director of MX Sports. "National hopefuls will enjoy a great racetrack and good old Georgia hospitality."

Aonia Pass is a large, wide track suitable for exceptional youth racing with above average viewing for parents. The facility has 146 hookups that have water, electric and sewage which can be reserved in advance.

"We look forward to the challenge of this great event and look forward to showing these young racers our wonderful facility," said Perry Gunter, owner of Aonia Pass.
