Welcome to the Mini Major East by SEVEN at Monster Mountain MX in Tallassee Alabama for year 2! We just hit the ground in Alabama and we are soaking up the amazing work that has been done here at Monster Mountain MX in the past year. The facility looks fantastic thanks to Keith, Shannon and their entire crew. They are ready for some awesome racing and have prepared a great track for this year!
The goal of the Mini Major by SEVEN in addition to running a smooth and professional event is and has always been to provide an opportunity for racers just getting their career going to experience a large scale event. Mini Major provides Beginner and Novice classes as well as more traditional age group classes for a more inclusive racer experience. We look to support those racers that are newer with lower entry fees and ton’s of giveaways so they have a great experience racing. It’s super exciting to see the riders who have come through Mini Major making their pro debut’s in recent years. This is the seventh annual running of the Mini Major and we look to keep improving every year. Visit out pre registration page CLICK HERE and start with what should be your first class.
