WPSA: PowerSports ATV Championship Tour gets under way

5-16-2006

by Flagworld


The ATV Tour will operate two racing series at each venue this season: the "QuadMX Series" and the "QuadTerrain Challenge Series." QuadMX consists of professional and pro-am sport MX racing on pro-style, big-air MX racing circuits. The QuadTerrain Challenge comprises professional and pro-am sport utility racing on purpose-built all-terrain racing circuits. ATVs allowed to compete will include stock, near-stock utility-type, and modified.

The Tour will feature two Pro Classes, the SuperQuad Pro 450 in QuadMX and Pro Stock in the QuadTerrain Challenge, as well as 19 other classes for Amateurs, Pro Am and Youth riders.

The Daniel Boone track layout, like all circuits on the Tour, is designed to optimize television coverage and fan viewing for both racing disciplines. The QuadMX course is central to the design and is tailored exclusively for ATV racing. The QuadTerrain course is constructed immediately adjacent to the MX track and incorporates a small portion of the technical section of the MX course, but excludes all big air MX sections. The balance of the QuadTerrain course consists of specialized terrain and obstacles. All obstacle sectors are raced at speed. Races feature obstacles that demonstrate the machine's and a rider's capabilities under race conditions. However certain sections will require careful maneuvering, or a deft high-speed touch.The QuadTerrain courses are a half mile or less in length.

In order to allow competition from amateur and junior classes, without taking away from the professional show, the courses include amateur alternative lines for each Series.

Sponsorship continues to contribute to the growth of the Tour. The factories have recognized the importance of racing as part of their overall marketing program. Participation from BRP Can-Am and Suzuki are confirmed, while other manufacturers, including Honda, Yamaha and others are planning to take part. AMSOIL, ITP, Dennis Kirk, Jack Link's and many others also plan to participate in the Tour. The Series will also support unique programs designed to help teams secure sponsorship and to allow them to grow with the Tour.
