Sean Scott first hopped on a PW50 at the age of 4. Later that summer, after his fifth birthday, he joined District 23 ARMCA and competed in a handful of motocross races that year. After a nearly ten year hiatus, he came back to D23 ARMCA in 2009. Sean now competes in the Open B and 25+ B classes in motocross, and proudly claimed 75% of holeshots in the races he competed in in 2021. In 2022, he strives to improve on the track in order to set himself up for a successful transition to the A classes in 2023. In addition to riding and racing, Sean is an avid hunter, fisherman, and overall outdoorsman.

Inspired by his closest friends, Sean continues to compete in D23 ARMCA because of these friendships, and the young, upcoming talent seen across all disciplines. Fueled by fresh fruit and quiet time on race day, his overall motorcycling experience has taught him the importance of hard work and preparation in order to do his best when it counts most. Sean encourages other riders to take a sight lap before pinning it for the safety of all riders, and wishes all D23 ARMCA members a safe and fun-filled season.

MN AMA District 23 The Roots: Episode 28

In episode 28 we chat with former pro motocross racer Marty Clark. After qualifying for the 1991 Pro Motocross National in Millville, MN, he hit the road to test his luck in Washougal, WA. Though he didn't qualify for the National, he spent a week day at a local practice track with Jeff Stanton and Jeff Ward, a highlight in his racing career. Marty has long been involved with Kato Cycle Club in Mankato, MN and encourages others to become involved with the sport at the club level. Finally, motorcycling has come full circle for Marty, as his youngest daughter is now a motocross racer herself! Hear about all this and more in episode 28 of The Roots.

Attention Off Road Parents

There will be NO volunteer bonus points awarded in the youth classes in 2022.  It is planned to be a temporary change. We are working on getting it up and running for the 2023 season.

This means that racers in the following youth classes (65cc  7-11, 85cc 7-15, Junior 11-15 and Girls 9-15) are not eligible for volunteer bonus points for 2022. However, a minor that competes in an amateur and a youth class can volunteer to earn bonus points in the amateur class at an event and still race their youth class as long as they do not work on the youth course.  They can also help with any administrative tasks that are age appropriate.

Trevor Guetschoff started his two-wheel career on a Strider, soon moved to a Stacyc, then moved up to a dirt bike, all by the age of four. He began racing in District 23 ARMCA at this point, and now competes in motocross in the 50cc Electric 4-6 class. In 2021, Trevor finished 2nd overall in the class, which he believes is his greatest racing accomplishment yet! Looking ahead to this upcoming season, he has goals of qualifying for Loretta Lynn’s Amateur Motocross National in the Micro-E class, but despite achievement of this goal, he will focus on having fun this summer.

In preparation for racing, Trevor enjoys quiet time on the gate to focus his mind. Afterwards, he enjoys tacos to celebrate his hard work. Trevor continues to race in D23 ARMCA because of the quality time he spends with family and friends, as well as the travel involved with competition. Motorcycling has also helped Trevor to develop life skills that can be applied off the race track, some of which come from his coach, Mike Evenson. From these experiences, Trevor advises other D23 ARMCA members to focus on themselves and remember to have fun!
