Toyota Trucks Motocross National races into Lakewood Colorado

General Recreation newsletter

This Saturday, June 26th, marks the day that every motocross fan in Colorado has been waiting for. The Lucas Oil AMA Motocross Series will make its stop for the Toyota Trucks Thunder Valley National in Lakewood. Some of the best riders from all over the world will be on hand to battle it out at one of Colorado’s premiere motocross race tracks.

 

The Thunder Valley MX Track sits just minutes outside of Denver carved into the mountainside at approximately 6,100 feet. The thin-mountain air combined with a challenging layout of jumps, turns and whoops will test each rider’s endurance to the max as well as their machine’s performance. Riders must be at their peak fitness level for this kind of fast-paced competition as each moto is 30 minutes plus 2 laps long.

 

Fans can expect to see all of their favorite riders such as Ryan Dungey, Chad Reed, Christophe Pourcel, Tarah Geiger and Ashley Fiolek, to name just a few, competing in the 450, 250 and WMX classes. Opening ceremonies begin at 12:30 pm with the first moto of the premiere 450 class beginning at 1. It is highly suggested to get there early for the best vantage points. Spectators can also enjoy live music, beer gardens and fireworks.

 

Tickets can be purchased online here or at Sun Honda, Vickery, G-Force, Fay Myers, Rocky Mtn Cycle Plaza and Colorado Powersports.
