2007! Happy New Year Racers, and a good one it should be with a 10 round OMA National Series, and a Spring & Fall MXC “Midwest X Country” Series of 10 races each for M/C’s & ATV’s (this includes the 4 OMA’s where points will transfer into the MXC Series-Moose Run, Moonshine, Waukon, The Race). Also including a 7 round motocross series for M/C’s. Check out our website at www.omanationals.com for frequent updates and information covering each series UOR Racing will be promoting. OMA will be co-sanctioning two rounds (1 & 10) with Kentucky H/S Series, two rounds (3 & 7) with Chuck Greenley’s AWRC Series. For AWRCS members, this will carry over points from the OMA Rounds. Also Round 2 will be co-sanctioning with the Arkansas Hare Scramble Series, carrying points over from Round 2.

With our third year behind us the coverage & success of our true cross-country series was more than we could have imagined! For 2007 our goals are to design off-road courses that require some thought along with a challenge to even the Pro class riders on occasion. Speaking of the Pro M/C class, after the 2006 series & event purse of $45,000, the biggest cash purse ever for the X country racer. Once again we will offer racers in the pro class an opportunity to compete in a series designed with single-track motorcycle trails with a pot of gold at the end of it.

1st - $10,000 2nd - $4,000 3rd - $2,500
4th - $1,500 5th - $1,000 6th - $500
7th - $300 8th - $200

And if that’s not enough gold, each round we will have a $2,500 - Up Pro purse with $1,000 to the overall winner (check out pay scale for Pros on back). Pro class riders MUST display yellow numbers in a blue background. Pro racers must become a member with United Off Road Racing Assn. for the current year. Memberships are available at each event or on our website. Pro’s that qualify for the Parts Ulmtd OMA Series purse are obligated to attend the Banquet on Dec 8, if you are not present there will be a percentage of your award deducted as a fine. This percentage is yet to be decided upon.

Pro ATV Riders!! NEW!! Series Pro points purse of $2,500… 1st $1,000 – 2nd $600 – 3rd $400 – 4th $300 – 5th $200 (check out pay scale for Pros on back).

The OMA Nationals will consist of 10 events, with your best 8 finishes scored for series awards for amateurs and best 9 finishes for pros. Pros: To be eligible for series awards you must compete in 9 of the 10 events. Amateurs: To be eligible for series awards you must compete in 8 of the 10 events, with your best 7 scored.

Amateur classes will receive throughout the series $25,000 or more worth of sponsors’ product awards. Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, & Gas Gas will be supporting OMA again for ’07, along with many product sponsors! We thank them for supporting OUR sport! And ask our racers to support these industries, after all Support the Sport works both ways!

This series has great sponsors, great challenging courses for cross-country racers, and a great following of riders for the last 30 years. This is an invitation to you to be a part of the program in 2007. This series will offer cross-country racers that enjoy the challenge of natural undisturbed terrain an opportunity to compete in a true country adventure.

Starting March 1, 2007 the new Bike Barn hours will be Monday thru Friday from 8:00 to 12:00. We will be offering a discount to all UORRA members on all of your riding needs. Also new for 2007 UORRA members will be welcome to use the Bike Barn MX Track and adjoining trail. (Closed Sunday's) Sunday's are made for racing.

All this is good, but to most off-road racers the best news may be the fact that UOR Racing does not own a bulldozer. We may be somewhat old fashion, but we believe cross-country means just that. We will be designing courses including Moto-X tracks, open grass tracks, and a good portion of motorcycle single track. Most series have abandoned these types of trails; we will continue to put the COUNTRY in the world of cross-country racing.
