IT’SSS TIMEEEE!!!!! Bruce Buffer probably. Thats right y’all the time has come. Christmas in July… err August. The Loretta Lynn’s Amateur National Motocross Championship is just a few sleeps away but worry not, Vurb is here to provide some insight into almost all of the classes at the Ranch this year.

We are not here to say who is going to win, lose or anything like that. Look at this as more of an informational piece on WHO you should keep an eye out for as the week stretches out. Are we going to miss some names? Of course, but that is what Loretta’s week is all about. Breaking onto the scene in whichever respective class that might be in.

While we may be separating this out into The Hitters and The Sleepers, any one of these cats could walk away with the title. Why do I say that? Because all of them have either won or landed on podium at the last handful of Amateur Nationals.

With that said, lets get into it.

85cc (10-12) & 85 (10-12) Limited

Can you say STACKED! The 85cc classes are among the hardest classes to secure a spot at the Ranch and this year was no exception. This class is full of previous Loretta’s winners and podium placers. Who will take the crown? To be honest, your guess is as good as mine. With that said, here are some of the names to watch out for.

What is the difference in class you might ask? In the 85cc Limited class you must run a stock motor and muffler. For the most part the class list stays the same but I could make an argument that the results will not be, as some kids shine on the stock bike.

#26 Carson Wood
#74 Ryder Ellis
