Morgantown, W. Va.  MX Sports is pleased to announce today that Klotz Synthetic Lubricants will support the 4th Annual Monster Energy Ricky Carmichael Daytona Amateur Supercross. Taking place Sunday, March 10 and Monday, March 11, this two-day amateur racing event follows Saturday night’s Daytona Supercross By Honda, where the fastest pro racers in the country will compete on the hollowed grounds of Daytona International Speedway.

"The Ricky Carmichael Amateur Supercross is the perfect venue for Klotz to showcase our product lineup at the grassroots level," said John C. Klotz Jr., Founder and CEO of Klotz Synthetic Lubricants. "Klotz has a host of product offerings that have been specifically formulated for the motocross market, including our MX4 Techniplate Synthetic Lubricant for the newest generation of four-stroke motorcycle engines. We'll have a number of products on display for riders and their mechanics to learn more about and sample. The amateur motocross market has always been a cornerstone at Klotz and we're excited to actively engage that group with Ricky's help."

This year’s event will once again feature two full days of amateur racing, boasting longer races and practices and offering more class options to give racers even more track-time over the course of the weekend. Following a night of watching the fastest pro racers in the country battle it out on the Daytona Supercross track, the amateur-racing schedule kicks off Sunday morning. Practice starts at 7:30 a.m., followed by heat races and last chance qualifiers. Monday’s schedule consists of the remaining LCQ’s and all thirty-two Main Event races. 

MX Sports organizes the event by utilizing over 30 years of experience operating the Red Bull AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn Ranch. The class structure includes classes for youth riders on 50cc bikes all the way up to vet and senior classes. The race will follow a supercross format, using heat races and last chance qualifiers to seed the field of riders into a main event in each class, over the course of two days. Unlike the Loretta Lynn Ranch format, riders do not need to qualify at other races in order to participate in the Daytona event.

There are still spots open to take part in this year’s RCSX. To register for the event, click HERE. For more information, visit www.racedaytona.com.
