A Space Oddssey, or a Race Oddssey? This could be the theme for the Series for 2010 as the series is looking to be one of the best seasons in recent history.

The Midwest is one of the most popular areas of the country for Arenacross race attendance and rider entries. The Des Moines, Iowa round in november has always been the premier round and the most covered round of Arenacross. A lot of the popularity comes from the lack of other national events in the Off-Road world of racing. Supercross doesn’t kick off until January, and The Outdoor Motocross series has ended, the MX Des Nations and the US Open of Supercross in Vegas (Basically a glorified Arenacross race) completed in October.

So this round of Arenacross gets more publicity than any other event in the Series, and because of this they put on a Great show for the fans with pyrotechnics and Lazer light show that is un-matched to any other round in the Arenacross Series. Last season they pulled the Des Moines Round from the Schedule as a points round, and labeled it the Prequel Race (Or Tuners Round to some).
So why would they do that: In my opinion it could be they were tired of promoting their series with two years in the title. Example “2007-2008 Arenacross National Championship series”

What incentive do the teams have to race this round: With no points involved they needed to give something to draw the big names to the round for the crowd. So the Arenacross race could potentially go without the big names Like Broc Sellards, Chad Johnson, Josh Demuth, Nathan Skaggs Teddy Maier, Kevin Johnson and more.

So what did the series do to entice the big teams to attend? How does a 11,000 Pro Purse sound. The pay out is big enough to get the big names and the big teams. And according to Arenacross.com all the top riders will be in attendance for the November Round!
