Several changes have come to the 13th Annual FMF Texas Night Series. First off, check the new class structure. The classes are much more open to riders with the new Collegeboy 16-24, Vet Amateur Open, Vet A Open and the all new 50cc Stock 4-8. There are further changes in classes so check out the “Class Structure” link below.
The second “BIG” change is the NEW point system. After the SHOOTOUT, the riders (and their families) ask to come with a plan to make points more fair between each region. Riders will now be awarded one point for every position they compete against. Example: You have ten riders in your class … 1st will receive 10 points, 2nd will receive 9, 3rd will receive 8, etc. Additionally, there is one bonus point earned for every moto win. Now the gap between 1st through 5th just got much tighter.
Round 5 will be the FMF Texas Night Series SHOOTOUT on Friday, May 25th at Freestone County Raceway. This event will be Double Points round to match the two series being scored together. Had one bad moto? Get back out there and hit the second moto. Every moto is a points paying moto in 2012. Now it just became a 10 round series for the North and the South. Now every moto is worth much more.
The third “BIG” news is that KTM returns for 2012 with $17,550 in factory contingency for all NINE rounds. FMF and Tucker Rocky both return as title and presenting sponsors respectively along with a host of great companies for product contingency support.
Ohhhhh …….. check this ………… The Texas Night Series is going back to 2006 entry fees by offering $30 for all online entries.
Ohhhhhh ……. don’t forget this. Each amateur race from Freestone will be broadcast LIVE streaming from our website or from the FREE Freestone iPhone App. Go to the App store and search “freestone mx”. You can be at the race and listen live through your headphones while on your iPhone. Heck, you can listen live in your car. No matter what, you are there.
Last but not least, last year the series awarded through 5th overall. In 2012, the Texas Night Series will award back through 10th Overall. Since two series are competing to see who is champion, it was decided to reward twice as much.
Of course this all takes place during the Memorial weekend of the Freestone Pro National as Round 2 of the Lucas Oil AMA Motocross Series hits Freestone Raceway on Saturday, May 26th.
All the new changes boil down to an exciting year of racing under the lights in the Texas Night Series!!!
