U.S. OFF-ROAD CHAMPIONS, GRAND LIST
Who are the off-road riders who have made their mark on history? These are the champions of the most prestigious forms of off-road racing in the U.S., past and present. For many years, the AMA National Enduro Series was the most hotly contested title in the U.S. Then, in the ’90s, the emphasis gradually shifted to the GNCC series, which had started off as the 100-Miler series. In the west, it was the AMA National Hare and Hound series that long held the highest priority for off-road racing. In 2001, Dave Hamel created the WORCS series and we then saw another shift in priority. In 2019, the AMA promoted the regional Big 6 series to National Championship status, and now that series is called the National Grand Prix Championship and has increased prestige. In the 2000s, we saw a new form of racing take root based on European enduros. We called it sprint enduro, and the Full Gas Sprint Enduro series saw immediate success. The US Sprint Enduro Series was spawned in 2021. Along the way there have been a number of one-off events that had their own impact.
