Dirt Bike FAQ

After racing off-road most of my life I find myself at a loss here… What exactly is a "Semi Pro"?

I professional semi truck driver?

A pro that only gets paid part of the time?

99.9% of all sanctioning bodies I've raced with and am familiar with basically break the classes up into C (or beginner), B (novice), A (expert) & Pro or AA (money class). A few run both AA and Pro with the AA being a trophy paying class for fast riders who want to retain their amature status.

Most organizations will allow anyone off the street to sign up in the faster classes, especially and in particularly the pro/money class, so the easiest answer to your question is simple.

Go sign up.

Then, unless your a truely gifted rider whom the likes of come around one in a life time, be prepared to have your ass handed to you on a platter. These guys don't play. In fact, I'm convienced that most of them change into thier riding gear in phone booths… (Look! Up in the sky! …)

Train, ride, race. Repeat.

If your good, folks will notice. If your average, the worse thing that can happen is you have a ball and spend a wad of money.

Good luck!
