Washington, UT - The newly formed Off-road Sports Group announced today that they have reached and agreement to take over the administration of the AMA Western National Hare Scrambles Series in 2009-13. Off-Road Sports director- Sean Reddish reported today that Off-road Sports has officially become the new promotions group of this historical rich series.
“I am very pleased to be partnering with the AMA to promote and run this great series out west. First, was the announcement that WORCS will go AMA in 2009, then this. I couldn’t be more excited for what this means to west coast racing as a whole. WORCS will partner with the Western National Hare Scrambles series on 3-4 marque events in 2009 and the group ORS group will run 4 stand alone hare scrambles events to complete the seven round series. This is just another way that the two companies can add continuity and prestige to each other. WORCS can bring national television coverage and premier factory contingencies from all major brands and the HS series can add its great stable of racers to the WORCS field on the co-sanctioned events. The number one issue here is the hare scramble customer. They will enjoy consistency of product at each round and an increased manufacture support as well. The clubs have done a great job over the years but each club is different and every aspect of the event is different from event to event. We will unify scoring, track layout, race times and just give 110% to make each customer happy” Sean Reddish- Off-Road Sports.
"Off-road racing is a unique area of motorcycle competition where both the country's top athletes and recreational amateur racers frequently compete in their respective classes at the same events," said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman.
