Clear Channel Entertainment and American Suzuki Motor Corporation announced today that the eighth annual Suzuki Crossover Challenge will be moving up north to San Francisco. It will take place during the race 6/4 at SBC Park, January 29, and it will be broadcast on Clear Channel Entertainment.
Crossover Challenge features 24 action sports athletes and celebrities who get the chance to race under lights at one of the most famous stadiums in the country on a professional supercross track.
The first ever Suzuki Crossover Challenge was held during the San Diego Supercross night program. Athletes and celebrities will race the smaller, more flexible DRZ 110 Suzuki motorcycle this year, which will allow for better racing. The race will take place in Northern California for the first ever time.
The 24-rider lineup is a three-lap, go-for–broke race in which the winner can present to any charity of his choosing.

Clear Channel Entertainment and Dorna Off Road S.L. produce and promote the THQ World Supercross GP, a 17-round global series. To be eligible for the world championship, riders must participate in international rounds. The 17-event THQ World Supercross GP, which will include two international events as well as 15 of 16 events held in major American cities, will take place in 2004-2005. It is part of the THQ AMA Supercross Series. It excludes the Daytona Supercross.
All Crossover riders rode on Suzuki RM125s at San Diego last year. Suzuki claims that the racing on DRZ 110s will be much better. It is insulting to the talents of crossover athletes, if they are on the track with the same machinery as the 125 SX riders. They will be expected to move slower on the DRZ 110 and not be able do all the big jumps. The racing will be more efficient and the athletes will not look foolish.
After a thrilling last lap battle between Jim Doman, a kayaker, and Victor Sheldon, Karim Amour was the top French Fourcrosser in San Diego. Joe Lawwill was 5th, Brian Lopes 7th, Greg Herbold 8th.
