The first half of the 2007 dual NASMOTO AMA SuperMoto Grand Championships kicks off in the East on September 29-30 at the NASMOTO Mid Atlantic GP race at BeaveRun Raceway.

Winners in all seven classes will receive an AMA #1 plate. The NASMOTO Championship classes include SM1 Open, SM2 250, Open Amateur, Vet 35, Novice, Premier Mini Moto and the Sportsman Class. The SMX Open Invitational class is the premier race of the event and provides top pro riders cash purse awards. Pro and amateur ATV classes are included with the Pro ATV class also paying out a cash purse award.

SuperMoto racers will be dicing it up on the BeaveRun Raceway’s Wilson Circuit , which boasts 8/10 mile road race circuit that provides multiple passing lines with 26 feet wide corners. The track includes two separate pit areas and provides plenty of access to ensure that fans have uninhibited viewing of the asphalt and dirt sections.

The dirt section is the longest in the NASMOTO series and is 25% of the track. It includes a whoops section and bowl turn and is the fastest dirt section in the series.

BeaveRun Raceway has consistently brought out the best in the Eastern Supermoto Racing Association (ESMRA) racers. Fans should keep an eye out for the Canadian contingency of Emerson Conner and Adam Jabouri as these guys are fast, accomplished and the future of the sport.
