“We’ll be prepared to feed more than 500 people,” said Luce. “Yamaha wanted to help the teams out by removing an evening of cooking for them, while providing a good healthy meal for the racers to enjoy for their third motos. We are giving every participant a special Yamaha event T-shirt, while each Yamaha rider will be given a VIP badge they can use to get free drinks and snow cones at the Yamaha pits.”

AMA Supercross winner and Loretta Lynn’s Vet Champion Doug Dubach and Walker will be conducting Yamaha’s special “Next Step” seminar on Tuesday and Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday’s seminar will feature informative guidance on starts and proper hydration, while Wednesday’s session will center on mental preparation.
