The Armadillo Supermoto will host round eight of The AMA Supermoto Championship November 2-3 at Moody Gardens on Galveston Island.
Supermoto is one of the fastest growing forms of professional motorcycle racing. Racers who battle for victory use a combination of skills from a variety of racing styles. Track layouts are unique, as the track consists of both paved and dirt surfaces with right and left hand turns. Tracks also include technical metal ramps called the Parts Unlimited Urbancross. Riders from all racing backgrounds will line up on Friday and Saturday braving these elements, which makes this sport one of the most thrilling disciplines of motorcycle racing for both spectators and racers around the world.
In conjunction with the AMA Supermoto Race, the 6th annual Lone Star Rally will be held at the Galveston Convention Center all weekend. The Lone Star Rally will feature a wide variety of festivities for all ages. On Friday, Supermoto amateur promoter practice begins at 10:00am while Supermoto pro promoter practice starts at 2:00pm. During the evening Sport Bike Night will kick off at 6:00pm with a live concert from porterdavis follow by The Mother Truckers at 8:00pm.
