PICKERINGTON, Ohio (Oct. 6, 2005) - AMA Pro Racing has announced rider numbers for competitors in the 2006 AMA Supercross Series and AMA Motocross Championship.

National numbers are based on a system that allows past champions, current champions and riders who have earned a top-10 national ranking, to select and retain the same number from year to year. This system was established in 2002.

Current AMA National Champions can carry the No. 1 plate. Numbers 2 through 9 are reserved for past National Champions in active competition, or they may select any available number. Riders ranked in the top-10 in combined Supercross and Motocross points can choose a Career Number from 10-999 which they keep until they withdraw from competition or fail to earn a National point. Riders outside the top-10 in combined points are assigned consecutive numbers through 99 based on year-end points, but can request a higher triple-digit number when applying for their 2006 license. Riders outside the top-99 can keep their 2005 racing numbers by renewing their AMA Pro Racing licenses for the 2006 season before Nov. 19, 2005.
