Drag Specialties National Dirt Track Series Announced
Formula USA-Sanctioned Dates Include
Traditional Events, Plus Boise
Clear Channel Entertainment’s
motor sports division announced today the 2002 Drag
Specialties National Dirt Track Series sanctioned
by Formula USA.
“2002
will be Formula USA’s third year of dirt track
racing. We wanted to provide an early commitment
to the riders, fans, and industry who enthusiastically
supported our last two seasons by announcing our
plans today,” said Bob Moran, director of dirt
track for Clear Channel Entertainment.
The
series will again conclude with the traditional
running of the K&N Filters Del Mar Mile, north
of San Diego. Formula USA added a new venue and
city with Les Bois Park in Boise, Idaho joining
the season this year.
“We
are pleased to be bringing dirt track to Boise,
complementing our collection of established traditional
dirt track racing events,” said Moran.
Duayne Didricksen, general manager of Les Bois Park, added,
“This will be a pivotal event for motorcycle
enthusiasts in Idaho. We are ecstatic to have the
Drag Specialties National Dirt Track Series coming
to Boise.”
Formula
USA will also offer its first indoor Dirt Track
event at the Tacoma Dome, giving dirt track enthusiasts
a non-traditional event experience -- complete with
a pit party and live event entertainment, including
an IFMA Freestyle Motocross demonstration. The event
will offer dedicated fans the same quality dirt
track racing experience while introducing one of
the most extreme forms of racing to the next generation
of dirt track fans within the familiar Tacoma Dome.
