THIS IS NOT AN OPEN ENTRY EVENT (including Friday practice). Please read on.
1. You must first compete at 1 of the 8 MIDEAST AREA QUALIFIERS in order to enter the Regional practice and race at RedBud. See the Qualifier Schedule HERE.
At an Area Qualifier, you must pay for and turn in an MX Sports entry form for each class.
2. You must register with MX Sports online after racing an Area Qualifier. If you don’t, you’ll be an Alternate at RedBud regardless of your finish.

3. You will pay a gate fee, practice fee and race class fee to RedBud once you’re at the event.
The Area and Regional entry fees you pay to MX Sports are for participation in the Loretta’s program. The only RedBud fees are at the front gate and registration once you’re on site.
4. There will be qualifiers in many classes at the Regional. We’ll run 2 qualifiers and 1 LCQ for these classes, and the qualifiers count as your first moto finish. (See Loretta’s Supplemental Rules for more info.) There are 8 Area Qualifiers, and the top 9 from each are eligible to enter the Regional from each. That’s 72 possible entries per class.
There could be a rare exception, but generally we won’t take an alternate if it would create qualifiers in a class. If the guaranteed entries are already more than a full gate, we’ll accept up to 72 entries per class.
