We call them Quads just like most of you.  4 wheelers sliding around a track with plenty of power or seeing a rider fly them off an Arenacross jump is incredible.

The Quads race at almost every CFP Motorsports event.  Whether it is with the Arenacross, or Flat Track oval racing on dirt or Cola coated concrete the competition is there.

Classes for Mini Quads (50cc to 70cc) for kids are invited at some events, but where the Monster Trucks are the big show we do not allow anyone under 16years old to even get a pit pass unless we have a good safe pit area.  Small kids running around under a Monster Truck is not something we want to try to police.  When we race Mini Quads all Mini Quad riders receive awards.

Most of the time we have an AMATEUR Class for riders who want to compete for some cool trophies.  These riders are probably are just as intense as the Pro riders but lack only experience and do not have enough trophies, so come on join the fun!

Pro Quad riders are serious. They might travel together and cheer each other on from the sidelines but the competitive juices flow when they line up at the start.

Racing in front of a huge crowd indoors out of the weather is big fun.

Trophies will be awarded to the top 5 places in all amateur classes.

The Arenacross format is a much like Supercross with a process of elimination that will consist of heat races, last chance qualifiers to determine who will compete in the main events.  Most tracks indoors are limited to no more than 14 riders in the Main Event per class.

AMA or AATVA memberships are not needed when we run Non Sanctioned races.

An AMA/AATVA membership is required to compete in and AMA Sanctioned event.  Memberships are for one calendar year and have many benefits.  Go to www.ama-cycle.org for more information.  AMA memberships are available at event registration, $39 year membership or call 1 (800) AMA-JOIN and you can join with a MasterCard or Visa.

You are either a Pro or Amateur rider.  Amateur riders may ask to move up.  No one under 16 years old may race in the Pro class at either AMA sanctioned or non sanctioned races.

A rider's age as of November 1 will determine his/her age, but a rider may move up to the next higher class if he/she will be eligible to do so at any time during the year.  Example: a rider races amateur on Friday night and has a birthday on Saturday that rider may run Pro if they wish.  If you have a question about age classes please refer to the AMA rulebook.

At registration the rider and pit person must bring a legal drivers license or valid photo ID.  If the rider or person either wanting to race or get a pit pass is under 18 years old, then a parent or legal guardian must sign release forms and remain present with minor all day.  The parent, legal guardian or authorized adult must present a drivers license or valid photo ID.  A pit pass (usually an armband that is issued daily) allows you access to the pits as well as the grandstands (a special seating area will be blocked off in the grandstand for riders and pit people - some seats are also available for family but they must buy a ticket at the box office and ask for competitor seating).

Pit Area room is tight.  Some are larger than others but each rider is limited to one pit person for each bike.  Sometimes we can allow you to camp outside with your motor homes and trailers in the parking lot.  There is usually room for a small tool box and that is about all besides your bikes or 4 wheeler.  The basic pit area rules are simple: No fuel Jugs indoors, No smoking, No foul language, No starting bikes in the pit area, no riding your bikes in the pit area, just be kind to your other competitors and be safe.

Excessive smoke from your racer might get you disqualified.  Please take the time to tune your bike and get it running good before you bring it to the Arena. A smokeless oil is also recommended.  Most 2 cycle oil companies make it.  Use of a smokeless oil will help greatly.

Number plates must have contrasting numbers (Example: no blue numbers on black backgrounds.  Number plates with professional numbers are recommended and also your rider’s jersey or chest protector should have the same number on it that is on the racer.

Indoor Arenacross tracks and flat tracks are going to be tighter than most any outdoor motocross tracks you have raced on.  Most Arenacross tracks are only 15 feet wide except at the start or the first corner.  Our track builders have been doing this for many years and our goal is to give you a track that is safe for the Pee wees but also challenging with places to pass for even the Pro riders.  We attempt to incorporate at least one set of whoops, a table top, doubles, berms in the corners, a rhythm section, and a small straight a way. Remember these tracks are usually in the confines of a hockey rink or when we are lucky an indoor rodeo grounds.

Thanks for stopping by and we hope to see you at a race!
