KEY INFORMATION:

NEW TO RACING? Try our INTRO category FREE at your first race! It’s low-key fun that helps you decide if racing is your thing. Intro riders are not eligible for series points, because they must move on to BASE after finishing top three in an INTRO race. This keeps the category perfect for those new to racing. To claim your free race, e-mail us for the discount code (Info@DINOseries.com). Or you can just register on race day.
