This is a trophied event and brings HUGE bragging rights.

UTV and SIDExSIDE MUSCLE PULL

Well, this is the true test of brute strength and determination for our UTV/SxS riders. Entrants must pass an inspection to ensure their ATV can be safely tethered to a weighted ATV by their swing arm (no grab bars) or other acceptable attachment points. This event will be strictly refereed. This is a measured distance and timed competition. On each run, the rider will pull a loaded SUV down a track to the finish line or until the referee orders a "shutdown". Referees will calculate the times and/or distances achieved. The field of riders with the best times and/or distance will be reduced by half each run until there is one ultimate winner. Sign-ups are mandatory and the entry fee is $5.00. Trophied event.

 

KID'S TREASURE HUNT

Kids 12 and under (under 7 will be determined case-by-case by officials and parents -Safety First!) will have an opportunity to hunt for "treasure" comprised of hundreds of dollars in coins. Amongst the coins will be several unique "chits" that will get the lucky treasure hunter a pocket ATV or other nice toys. Sign-ups are mandatory -No entry fee.

ADULT-KID RELAY RACE

Kids 7-12 and their adult race partner must race on their mini-quad. The quad must be 90 cc or less. Each child will race one oval lap around a flag and then swap with the adult for one lap.... and so on and so on... The first duo to make 6 laps total is the winner. Sign-ups are mandatory - $3 entry fee. Trophied event.
