IN THE WIND P36 Fox Raceway (formerly Pala Raceway) in Pala, California will once again host a round of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship, replacing the Glen Helen round. NATIONAL HARE & HOUND SERIES OPENER IN JEOPARDY T he upcoming opening round of the 2019 AMA National Hare and Hound Championship Series has been thrown into uncertainty due to the current government shutdown. The Desert M.C. Win- ter Classic, slated to take place January 26-27, might have to be rescheduled if paperwork from the BLM cannot be completed. The following was posted on the series Facebook page: "Update on round one: With the government shutdown still in effect, our host club Desert M.C. may or may not receive the per- mits needed from the BLM to host the event. If they do not receive the necessary permits, their event must be rescheduled. If they are able to get the permit, then it's game on. We will keep everyone updated as we learn more this week." CN AMA PRO MOTOCROSS: GLEN HELEN OUT, PALA IN E ver since the 2019 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Champion- ship schedule came out, there has been TBA (to be announced) next to the date usually reserved for Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California. That TBA has finally been replaced by the announcement that the May 25 date, Memorial Weekend, will be filled by Fox Raceway in Pala, California. Evidently, MX Sports and Glen Helen Raceway couldn't come to terms and, as a result, Glen Helen is out and Pala is in. Fox Raceway (formerly called Pala Raceway) has held two AMA Pro Nationals in the past (2010 and 2011). Organizers 2X Promotions, which also produces the Mam- moth Motocross, the Road to Mammoth Series, and the FMF California Classic, will spearhead the promotional efforts surround- ing the Pala National.
