March 2026 19 AMA Recogni on and Na onal Impact In 2025, J Day reached a major milestone by partnering with the American Mo- torcyclist Associa on and becoming an AMA-sanc oned series. That move elevat- ed the championship to official AMA East Grand Prix Regional Championship status. For Broatch, the decision was straight- forward. Aligning with the AMA opened doors to broader recogni on, expanded rider par cipa on, and long-term growth poten al. The partnership quickly proved its value. In 2025, the AMA recognized J Day Off Road as the #1 Off Road Series Organizer in the country, a powerful valida on of the work being done behind the scenes. From track prepara on and safety stan- dards to race-day logis cs and media produc on, the series has demonstrated that regional racing can operate at a na- onal-caliber level. Looking Ahead to 2026 As the 2026 season approaches, an cipa on con nues to build. With expansion across the East Coast, enhanced media produc on, AMA sanc oning, and an ever-growing roster of talent, J Day Off Road is posi oned for its most exci ng year yet. From Pee Wees lining up for their first moto to seasoned Pros ba ling for championship tles, the atmosphere remains the same: high energy, compe ve, and rider-fo- cused. In a sport where variety is the spice of life, J Day delivers a format as dynamic as the terrain it rides on. Motocross speed. Woods precision. Extreme grit. All contained within a spectator-friendly showcase of modern off-road racing. What began as one man's idea in 2011 has grown into a movement reshaping the East Coast off-road scene. And if the trajectory con nues, J Day Off Road may soon be recognized not just as New England's premier series, but as one of the most influen al regional racing pla orms in the country.
