Keith
Please clarify for me. Fridays practice costs $20 and is listed as Big Sky Practice. Does this mean that the monies collected go to Big Sky or does your club receive anything.
Thanks Mike Cutler

Practice on Friday is a dual benefit. It helps fund the BigSky MX Challenge and the club receives a substantial portion of the fee (Enough to make it worth the extra work!) The practice is not required to participate in the racing on Sat & Sun or the Shootout prizes.
Midway Rental of Great Falls, RDO Equipment in Great Falls, and T&E Cat Rental in Great Falls are all providing equipment at great discounts for the entire weekend. These great sponsors will allow us the opportunity to prep the track three times, once before practice, again on Friday night, and finally on Saturday night.
Without the practice fee, ECDR would not put the volunteers through the extra work. Great question Mike. Hope I was able to answer it for you.

Keith,
Can you clarify how the $2500 Pro Purse is going to be divided between the classes (and which classes) and the 2 different organizations? I have been asked by several riders and I am not sure what to tell them.
Thanks,
Jason

What is the Montana MX Shootout?? The Shootout is a combination of the two MX Series, Big Sky MX Challenge and High Country Motocross Association.
In order to compete for Shootout awards, you have to race both Saturday (BSMX) and Sunday (HCMA). The Shootout awards are a combination of all 4 motos from both days in most classes. We will be combining the points on Sunday afternoon as the HCMA is awarding their Trophies.
Not all Classes are able to carry over for Shootout awards... Because the two series use different classes, we combined the two series classes based on best match. Not all will cross over...
ECDR Montana MX East/West Shootout Classes:
YOUTH/AMATUER CLASSES: *Awards - Podium (1st, 2nd, 3rd Place) Shirts for each Class below (TieDye Colors this year!! ~ I will post a picture soon of the Shirt - Contains the E/W Logo on the Front, ECDR logo on the Back and the Place on the Right Sleeve)*

Just to clarify...the pro classes will not be paid by moto at the end of each race day correct?

Good question Elmer.
The normal Big Sky payout and the normal HCMA payout WILL be paid each day. The $2,500 Shootout money is extra donated by the ECDR club for the top three riders in the pro classes listed above.
