GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing and Roadracing World
Publishing, Inc. have reached an agreement to name the 2013
Roadracing World AMA Pro Racing Young Gun Of The Year.
The new Young Gun Of The Year Award is based on Roadracing World's
17 consecutive years of recognizing the best young road racers in
North America. The 2013 version of the annual feature recognized 30
riders--17 of them AMA Pros--and was published in the March, 2013
print edition of Roadracing World magazine. One of those riders is
likely to be named the 2013 Roadracing World AMA Pro Racing Young
Gun Of The Year and receive a $2,500 cash award.
To be eligible for the award, riders must have been no older than
18 at the start of the 2013 GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing
season. The award will go to the eligible rider with the most
overall points in either the Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport
or GoPro Daytona SportBike classes and a check will be presented
during the 2013 GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing Awards
Banquet.
