On September 12, the Gallup OHV MX Park will host the Red Rock Rage Motocross, an event being brought to Gallup by Arizona Offroad Promotions (AZOP). Registration will begin on Friday from 7-9 pm at El Rancho Hotel and continue from 6 am-2 pm at the track on Saturday.

Nine-year old Colton Schneider, left, and Collin Steele, 7, practice before the start of the 50cc 7-10 race last Saturday. Colton’s older sister, Ashley, who is 17, also competed in the event, as did their dad, Joe.
11:45 am – 2:15 pm. The action continues at 2:30 pm with the Bike/Quad Minis and finishes from 3:30 – 5:30 pm with all UTV’s racing for two laps. If off-road racing sounds interesting, this is a chance to enjoy big time action in your backyard. The High Desert terrain, cross-country style (tight and technical) with some two-track roads, piñon trees, and sagebrush at an elevation of between 6,800-7,200 feet promises plenty of thrills and speed for spectators and participants alike. Kyle Krause, owner of AZOP, is not a newcomer to this exciting sport, having been involved for the last five years with this type of competition.
“We normally do about 15 races a year. Greg Kirk reached out to us to bring our series to Gallup and the facilities are what we need. We’ll have all age groups, from mini’s to professionals, with the smaller ones competing on the regular course.” For more information on participating, go online to arizonaoffroadpromotions.com or call Kyle at 623-363-9665. On Sunday, September 13, Red Rock Motor Sports will be hosting the Scott Costley Memorial Race at the same location.
OPEN 9-8 MON - FRI 11-5 SAT 12-4 SUN
