For the Daily News

The dirt will fly as the AX Tour Arenacross races into the Mississippi Horse Park for one night only Feb. 19.
The gates will open at 6 p.m. and the main event is at 7 p.m.
This show will be Round No. 7 of the 2011 Arenacross Tour and will feature both professional and amateur racing.
The tour features over 30 amateur motocross and quad classes as well as three pro classes. During the 8-Round tour, amateur riders compete for nightly awards and series championship points as the pro riders battle for their share of $30,000 in the Clash for Cash.
Come watch the motorcycles and quads race through a course of jaw-dropping jumps and terrifying turns as they compete for the fastest time.
New to this round of the tour, the racers will go ramp-to-ramp as they land on portable devices instead of the dirt. This not only provides more room to race but is also a great addition to the course.
Don’t miss the Moto X Jam Freestyle Backflip show starring Navy X gold medalist Scott Murray.
