The AMCA Championship has a long and proud history acting as a breeding ground for some of the best motocross talent this country has produced. In recent years the championship has grown in stature as a number of riders that have come through the Association ranks have matured along with a steady influx of top riders from other governing bodies.
The depth of talent in the Open class is arguably the strongest it's been making for close, exciting racing. There has been a knock-on effect too in the IMBA series as the AMCA has performed strongly on the International stage.
