The Alberta Mini RoadRacing Association (AMRA) is a non-profit amateur roadracing organization that races at North Star Raceway in Strathmore, AB. The AMRA provides an introduction to the sport of motorcycle road racing to riders of all ages, gender and abilities in a closed environment with a focus on safety.
The club has many classes to fit the needs and skills of all riders. Starting with 50cc bikes for beginners and the youth class (ages 7 to 10), expanding up to formula 80 bikes for the seasoned vets. They promote amateur miniature motorcycle racing (up to 105 cc) in Alberta, for the purposes of recreation and fun.
AMRA provides an introduction to the amateur sport of motorcycling and motorcycle racing in a safe, closed environment without the greater speeds of full-sized motorcycle racing.
Rules allow for two-stroke engine displacements up to 105cc (new this year), and four-stroke engine displacements up to 150cc. Common two stroke machines include Yamaha YSR50s and 80s, Honda NSR50RRs and the Metrakit 50 and 80’s and 80cc motocross (dirt) bikes fitted with street tires as well as GP 125’s with 80cc 2 stroke liquid cooled engines transplanted in them.

Volunteer
The best way to watch a race is to be in it on a bike, the 2nd best way to watch, is to volunteer & be involved in the race. So if you are not racing come-out & volunteer.
It takes many positions to run a race: Corner Marshalling, Start-Finish, Registration, and Pre-grid, Lap Scoring and Race Control, Tech and Inspections, First-aid and Medical,
Typically, our volunteers will commit to the full race day event from 9am to 5pm. That means lunch is on us! No experience is required for any of these positions- we’ll orient you on race day as required. For our committed volunteers, we are more than happy to provide a reference letter for your support of the AMRA.
The AMRA is currently looking for a committed First-aid volunteer.
