Honda Contingency for Michigan Mafia Championship

BUCHANAN, Mich. – Great Lakes Motocross (GLMX) officials announced today that Honda is on board for nearly $40,000 in cash contingency prizes for its CR-mounted “Red Riders” who contest this year’s Great Lakes Michigan Mafia Championship Series – a 17-week spring/summer race schedule held at the Great Lakes region’s premier motocross facilities.

“Honda’s generosity with the racers loyal to its brand will be very evident on the Great Lakes Michigan Mafia Championship Series tour,” said GLMX’s Amy Ritchie. “We have a lot of racers on Hondas registered at our events – so the competition’s going to be fierce for those coveted Honda contingency dollars. Fortunately for the Red Riders they’ve come up with almost $40,000, which will be spread out over numerous classes so most every Honda rider has a shot at some contingency dollars.”

Dubbed “The Battlegrounds,” the Great Lakes Michigan Mafia Championship Series will showcase a wide range of classes for the Honda competition dirt bikes. Honda contingency classes include: 9-13 85cc and Senior (12-15) 85cc, 250cc C, Women Junior, +40, +45, Women Senior, Supermini (12-16), Schoolboy (12-16), Schoolboy Lites (12-16), College Boy (14-24), 250 B, Open B, +25, +30, +35, 250 A and Open A. Class wins on a Honda will pay up to $150 and pay cash all the way down to 5th place in each class!
