All-New Dirt Series Opener at Cahuilla Creek

This highly anticipated series started off with a bang. The Dirt Series is offering over $65,000 worth of cash and prizes. With Contingency programs from GBC Tire and STI tire & Wheel that total over $20,000 each it would be worth it to make the series.

This is a new style 8-round MX/ATV/UTV racing series that will be based in Southern California. The focus of the series is to bring new life back into the rich history of the area by utilizing properties that have never been raced before while still using existing core tracks or tracks unavailable to the public that can accommodate the series premise.

Being a new style series Dirt Series’ intent was to not go head to head with other races but branch off from their success of the FNL Summer Series held at Milestone MX and develop a stand alone race series that could excite the beg/amateur and pro racers, keeping the series and travel schedule within a budget minded privateer racer, sponsors, vendor and/or spectator range, integrate different racing environments and just put on a good time event!

Below are a few highlights from the opening round….

Steve from the Dirt Series had this to say “Just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who came out this weekend to round 1 of The Dirt Series @ Cahuilla Creek Motocross. We had a great bunch of racers and their friends and families come out and support the series. As well as the strong core of sponsors and The Dirt Series Team on hand to make sure everything came together. Hope everyone had a good time and looking forward to growing the series with all of you!!! Keep spreading the word! Round 2 is Saturday, June 2nd Milestone MX Park

Now to integrate different racing environments for the schedule we needed to step outside the box. While our schedule does include tracks like Cahuilla, Milestone, Comp Edge and Pala.

But to fully be set apart from all other series we began stepping outside conventional thoughts and brought in an old school property called Rattlesnake located in Colton, Ca and encompasses over 500+ acres of available land to design the inaugural Rattlesnake GP. Along with this low keyed but famous riding area we pulled in a stadium to open the doors to amateur stadium racing. Route 66 motorplex gives The Dirt Series the ability to create a stadium track and incorporate all these racing environments into this series. This will allow for a unique, exciting and much talked about grassroots series.

ic that can accommodate the series premise.

Being a new series our intent was to not go head to head with other races but develop a stand alone race series that could excite the novice/amateur and pro racers, keep the series and travel schedule within a budget minded privateer racer, sponsors, vendors and/or spectator, integrate different racing environments and just put on a good show!

Now to integrate different racing environments for the schedule we needed to step outside the box. While our schedule does include tracks like Cahuilla, Milestone, Comp Edge and Pala. Soboba has a well known track unused by any other series that may be placed into the mid months of the year.

But to fully be set apart from all other series we brought in an old school property called Rattlesnake which is in Colton, Ca and encompasses over 800 acres of available track layout for us to design the inaugural Rattlesnake GP. Along with this well known riding area we pulled in a stadium to open the doors to amateur stadium races. While being contracted with Orange Show Stadium we now have the ability to create a stadium track and incorporate all these racing environments into this series. This will allow for a unique, exciting and much talked about grassroots series.

Below is the current slated schedule for this upcoming series;

Round 1 Sunday May 19-20th – Cahuilla Creek day race
Round 2 Sunday June 3rd – Milestone MX day/night race
Round 3 Saturday June 22-23rd – Pala Raceway day race
Round 4 Saturday July 7-8th – Comp Edge MX day race
Round 5 Fri-Sunday Aug 17,18,19th – Soboba GP (TBA) day race
Round 6 Saturday Sept 1st – Orange Show Stadium day/night race
Round 7 Sunday Sept 29-30th – Cahuilla Creek day race
Round 8 Fri-Sunday Oct 11,12,13,14th – Rattlesnake GP day race
