Multi-time AMA Supercross and Motocross champion Ricky Carmichael helps design another interesting Daytona Supercross track.
MX Sports and supercross legend Ricky Carmichael unveiled the Camichael-designed track layout for the 2015 Daytona Supercross today.
This marks the eighth straight year that the 15-time supercross and motocross champion has added his expertise to the professional course design, which will also be used for the Ricky Carmichael Daytona Amateur Supercross on Sunday, March 8 and Monday, March 9.
“It’s so cool to be able to lend a hand in designing one of the most famous tracks in supercross history, but it’s even better to bring that same design to amateur racers the very next day,” Carmichael said.
The 2015 Daytona Supercross track will have a fresh look as the starting gate has been relocated to the west end of the tri-oval. As an added twist, the track will run in reverse, something that hasn’t been done for many years.
The design will be almost identical for the Ricky Carmichael Daytona Amateur Supercross, although some of the obstacles will be tamed to accommodate amateur racers of all ages and skill levels.
“As soon as the pro supercross finishes up on Saturday night, it’s all hands on deck to re-work the Daytona Supercross track and get it ready for 7:30 a.m. amateur practice on Sunday morning,” said MX Sports Director Tim Cotter.
The sixth annual Ricky Carmichael Daytona Amateur Supercross will take place Sunday, March 8 and Monday, March 9, 2015. Classes for this prestigious event are filling up quickly, and many classes are sold out. For more information on available classes, visit www.racedaytona.com.
