Four-wheelers take the
stage on Saturday
The first-ever AMA Pro ATV event at Round 10
Steel City Motocross National
DELMONT, Pa. - This is the second time Steel
City has ever hosted an ITP/Moose Racing ATVA MX
Nationals event. The first time was last year,
and the Pro riders really liked the difficulty
and challenge that the Steel City racetrack
brings. The track features plenty of elevation
changes and jumps, all laid out in a valley
which provides some of the best spectator
viewing in the sport.
Steel City has hosted a round of the AMA
Motocross Championship since 1988. For more
