WORCS Sprint Racing Series FAQs

See rule book for complete rules and regulations.

Q: What is WORCS Sprint Enduro Racing?
A: Motocross and off-road racing against the clock! Basically we take about 6 miles of the most fun sections of motocross, single track and sand sections that event location has to offer and make separate and full length loops out of them.  You are racing against the clock, not head to head like normal. AAAAAAAAAND PIN IT TO WIN IT!

Q: How does it work?
A: You will line up individually at the start line and take off. 30 seconds later (or as the start official dictates) another racer takes off. You go as fast as you can for the entire race loop until you come through the finish line. Then you take a break and wait for your turn to go again. You will get approximately 60 minutes of riding per day with each test lasting 5-6 “test” loops.  The racer in each class that has the lowest total time on course over the two days is the winner.

Q: Who can do it?
A: Anyone. You don’t have to be in great shape for this format. The longest you will ride at full speed is about 10 minutes. We think you can do that. Even your mom thinks you can do that.

There is an old saying…“I may not be as good as I once was but I am as good once as I ever was!”

Q: What is the cost?
A: For two days of racing it cost: $80/Youth, $90/Adult, $100/Pro. This also includes your transponder. There is gate fees at each track which should run $10 per person per day and camping is charged if you decide to camp. You don’t have to race both days but to earn points for the race weekend you will need to race both days.

Single day racing is now available for Sprint. $55 for all classes. Race Saturday or Sunday!

Q: Do I have to have a membership?
A: Yes, an AMA membership is required. No day pass fees at all. You will be able to run your own 1-3 digit number as well. (0-999)

Q: Is it fun?
A: Oh hell yeah. You get to ride hard for short times and bench race in between and tell stories of how fast you are. Just remember, the clock does not lie.

Q: Do I have to keep my own time?
A: Nope, since you are issued a transponder by us it will keep track of your total track time. It starts your timing when you leave the start line and stops it when you come through the finish.

Q: Is there Special Test?
A: No, each time you leave the start line you pin it to win it.

Q: Is there practice available before the races?
A: In the spirit of Enduro and ISDE, there is no practice. You are allowed to non-motorized bike or walk the track. Everyone will be in the same situation seeing the track for the first time on your motorcycle adding to the excitement and challenge of what makes Sprint Racing so exciting!

Q: How do I find out more info?

  • Followed Sprint Enduro in Europe thought that it would be the next big thing, glad to see it’s coming to the West.
    I think you should consider 60 A,B,C classes. And for us really old riders a 70+ class. Having ridden CC and Enduro’s for years I would enjoy this format.

    • Hey Doug,
      Thanks for the feedback. We will definitely be looking to expand classes in the future. We have a tried and true formula thanks to the East Coast program and that will be our launching point for now.
