How do AMA Pro riders go about entering the USGP? Do they have to contact Youthstream? How much is the entry fee?
They do not have to contact Youthstream or the FIM. AMA Pro riders only have to contact the AMA. Their AMA/SX licenses are already FIM licenses. According to sources close to the event, a major sponsor is paying the entry fees for all the American riders—thus, AMA Pro riders do not need to buy an FM license or pay an entry fee.
But, they have to contact the AMA at http://home.ama-cycle.org/raceresults/typeindex.asp?s=90&year=2010 ...or call (614) 856-1920 and contact Jane Caston at the AMA. They have until Monday to enter.
HERE ARE THE DETAILS FROM THE AMA
