About AMA Pro Racing
AMA Pro Racing is the leading national
sanctioning body for professional motorcycle sport in the world.
A for-profit subsidiary of the
265,000-member-plus
American Motorcyclist Association
(AMA), AMA Pro Racing was formed in 1995 to respond to the
rising popularity and tremendous growth of motorcycle racing in
America. The formation of a separate company with a separate
Board of Directors and management staff allowed the AMA to
continue its focus on government relations, pursuing, protecting
and promoting the interests of motorcycle enthusiasts,
membership growth and other issues. AMA Pro Racing concentrates
exclusively on the business and complexities of professional
motorcycle racing.
Rights to the most successful national
championship series are managed by AMA Pro Racing. Those series
are: AMA Supercross Series, AMA Superbike Championship, AMA
Motocross Championship and AMA Flat Track Championship. AMA Pro
Racing’s successful management of these series dates back
several decades. AMA Pro Racing’s newest series, the AMA
Supermoto Championship began in 2003 and was an immediate
success attracting top-level riders, teams and sponsor support.
For these series, AMA Pro Racing sanctions and
manages the operations of nearly 100 professional racing events
annually through its 27 full time employees and dozens of
part-time employees and volunteers. As the sanctioning body, AMA
Pro Racing makes and enforces the sporting and technical rules
for competition, creates the class structure for races, and
determines rider eligibility.
AMA Pro Racing also manages the commercial
development of its series, securing sponsorships, negotiating
television packages, exploring new markets for racing and
planning for the long-term success of the sport by attracting
more fans and sponsors. AMA Pro Racing manages the rights and
distribution for motorcycle racing television coverage for AMA
Superbike, AMA Motocross, AMA Flat Track and AMA Supermoto. In
2006 AMA Pro Racing events will be televised to over 100 million
households via leading cable and satellite networks both in the
U.S. and in key international markets worldwide.
AMA Pro Racing’s vision is for it to continue to
be the premier provider of motorcycle racing in the United
States. The organization’s goal is to provide a fair and stable
environment for competitors while managing the commercial
development of the sport in a manner that continuously improves
the economic growth opportunity for all stakeholders.
AMA Pro Racing headquarters are located in the
Columbus, Ohio suburb of Pickerington. Additionally, AMA Pro
Racing maintains an office in Los Angeles, California to respond
to the expanding needs of the motorcycle industry and racing
community.
