Motorcycle racing at Canterbury Sept. 11Motorcycle racing will return to Minnesota this fall with the American Motorcycle Association championships. It's the first time since 1997 that the AMA has hosted racing on a one-mile track in the state.

The event, the Pro K&N Filters Grand National Championship, will be at Canterbury Park on Sept. 11. The "Minnesota Mile," part of the AMA Grand National Series, will be held on Canterbury's one-mile dirt oval.

The Minnesota Mile is one of 19 national dates this year. Racing on mile ovals is a rarity; Canterbury is one of just two such tracks west of the Mississippi, the park says.

Ticket prices start at $20 for general admission; children under 5 are free, and those 5-12 are $10. Limited VIP reserved seating is available for $35. General admission tickets can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.

For more information, call the park at 952-445-7224.
