4 Races were held on the numerous dirt ovals and horse tracks across the country, along with a limited schedule of AMA National roadracing events. Meanwhile, the first motocross races were being organized in post-war 1947, the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) created the Motocross des Nations, an annual event to determine the World Team Motocross Champions. In 1957, the FIM fully embraced motocross by creating an individual World Motocross Championship motocross machines were relatively primitive by today s standards.
