Earlier this week, the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) announced that it will recognize the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) Arenacross Championship as an official FIM Championship series with events being held in both the United States and Canada during the upcoming season.
AMA Arenacross has seen record attendance in the last few years, and its hope is that the expansion of the series into Canada will connect top racers from across North America and subsequently aid in the development of a new generation of riders.
The FIM is working with the AMA, the Canadian Motorcycle Association (CMA), and AX Promotions to expand the series across the continent. Racers who compete only in the United States will have the chance to be recognized as AMA Arenacross National Champions, while racers who compete in both US rounds and those held in Canada will fight for the FIM Continental Championship.
