What is COPPA?

Why can’t I apply for the championship round in Salt Lake City?
The final round of the KTM JUNIOR SUPERCROSS program will be reserved as our championship round for the 2024 season. The 10 winners from each individual round in 2024 will be selected to participate in round 11 - “The Championship Round” in Salt Lake City, UT on Saturday, May 11th. No other applicants for this round will be selected or considered.
What happens if it rains?
Weather is a factor at select events and there may be circumstances due to the weather that may force us to modify the race day schedule (such as eliminating a practice) or cancel the race completely. Although we will try our best to not have to eliminate any race day events, safety is our number one concern and there is a chance the schedule may be modified or canceled completely due to inclement weather. If your race is canceled, we will do our best to modify or adjust the racer to a different round if possible.
Am I responsible for my own travel accommodations?
Yes, you are responsible for your own travel and/or hotel accommodations for the KTM JUNIOR SUPERCROSS Supercross program if you are selected. KTM will not book your flight or hotel accommodations if you are selected to race at any event.
