ATV Promoters Group
Clarifies Schedule For 2007 AMA ITP/Moose ATV
National Motocross Championship Series
Presented by Parts Unlimited
Morgantown, WV - The ATV Promoters Group (ATVPG),
in cooperation with AMA Racing and ATVA,
announce the schedule for the 2007 AMA ITP/Moose
ATV National Motocross Championships Presented
by Parts Unlimited. While the dates and
locations have not changed from the originally
released schedule, some clarification is
necessary.
“There’s been no shortage of rumors regarding
the status of the Echeconnee Off-Road Park
event, which will remain on the schedule for
2007,” explained Steve Whitelock, AMA Pro Racing
Motocross and Supercross Director. “The facility
owners have made changes within their
organization, and we have every reason to expect
the same quality racetrack and event that we’ve
always had at Echeconnee.” Accordingly, the
season schedule remains unchanged for 2007, and
is listed below.

“The AMA, ATVA and ATV Promoters Group have
worked together to achieve the best possible
schedule for 2007,” explained Birch Creek event
promoter Carl Reynolds. “Traditional dates are
key to a series approaching its 21st season.
When a race has become a must-attend event
within the local community as well as the racing
community, it’s important to keep it on its
time-honored date. We’ve accomplished that while
moving newer events to dates better suited to
the available daylight hours and area climate.
We also felt it was very important to give
racers the every-other-weekend schedule they
prefer. All in all, this is a great schedule for
racers, fans, sponsors and everyone involved
with the series,” continued Reynolds.
The series Awards Ceremony and Banquet is set
to return to the Grand Hotel and Convention
Center in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on November
10. Recognition and awards are given to the top
10 finishers in each class. Stay tuned to
