American Outdoor Events releases 2024 plans for expansive regional short course off-road series
American Outdoor Events (AOE) is planning to unify regional racers from separate series around the country in order to complement the new national Pro short course off-road series. The unification will consist of Sportsman category racers from various truck, buggy, and side-by-side classes currently competing in the Great American Shortcourse (GAS) series, the Midwest Off-Road Racing (MORR) group, and the MidAmerica Racing (MAO Racing) group. Plans also involve expanding regional short course off-road racing to the eastern United States in 2025. The regional purses for 2024 will exceed $1 million, with a minimum $300,000 series purse per region. AOE aims to standardize safety and tech rules over the coming years to allow competitors to race in multiple AOE-produced events and will provide racer development classes focused on media and sponsorship education. The unification will bring together the regional series and the Pro race series for key events and provide opportunities for regional racers to earn entry into televised Pro races.
