The 2009 Lucas Oil AMA National Motocross Championship has begun and this weekend the series rolls into Sacramento for the Hangtown Motocross Classic.

Hangtown predates the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship but a national series was the dream of the founders more than 40 years ago. Now, the Dirt Diggers North Motorcycle Club (DDNMC) is proud to own and produce the longest-running motocross national of all and the only event on the schedule still run by a motorcycle club, the Hangtown Motocross Classic.

The first DDNMC race was held in 1968 and in 1979 the Club and the Sacramento County Department of Parks and Recreation put together a permanent facility at the Prairie City OHV Park in Rancho Cordova, near Sacramento. Eventually, the State OHV Department took control of the park and, in conjunction with DDNMC, has provided permanent sprinklers, fencing, restrooms, running water, gazebos, a state-of-the-art announcing tower, and other facilities.

Prior to the excitement of race day on Saturday, Glen Helen will host the inaugural Monster Energy® Fan Fest on Friday, May 22.

Monster Energy® Fan Fest officially kicks off at 4 p.m. and concludes at 6 p.m., but early attendees can catch a glimpse of the world's best riders on-track during an exclusive one hour riding session from 3-4 p.m. The stars of the 450, 250, and WMA classes will all be logging laps in preparation for Saturday's big event. Autograph signings and live interviews will follow throughout the pit area from 4-5 p.m.

In addition, fans can witness hill climbing legends Robbie and Brett Peterson, who will provide a nitro-fueled hill climb demonstration up Mount St. Helen. There will also be a large display of vintage motocross bikes as well as a number of other attractions and vendors.
