The MXGP boys are headed to Southern California for the final round of the FIM Motocross World Championship. Here’s how you can meet them.
The Monster Energy MXGP of USA is set to take place this weekend at Glen Helen Raceway, but motocross fans will have a chance to meet the stars of the FIM-sanctioned series in a special fan appreciation night at Chaparral Motorsports in San Bernardino, just down the road from Glen Helen, on Friday night, September 18.
Chaparral Motorsports Fan Appreciation Night is scheduled to take place from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. PT, and it will feature a mix of top talent from the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship as well as from Europe. Fans will have the opportunity to meet the riders get autographs, and take photos with some of the sport’s biggest names from at home and abroad. The trio of Tom White, Erv Braun and Paul Milan will serve as event emcees.
The first 100 fans at Chaparral Motorsports Fan Appreciation Night will also receive a copy of the original USGP poster created by legendary racing artist Troy Lee. This exclusive piece of artwork was made especially for Glen Helen and the USGP. The poster can also be purchased at the event for $5.
