WPSA: Powersport ATV tour begins Midwest swing in Illinois

7-6-2006

by Flagworld


Riders will be vying for one of the richest purses in ATV racing here. The Tour will award $22,500 in purse monies here, as it does for each race this season. The purse, which will be awarded in the Tour's Pro Classes, pays to 20th place in the QuadMX Series and to 15th place in QuadTerrain Challenge. The purse structure awards $4,000 to win in QuadMX and $2,000 to win in QuadTerrain Challenge, with $15,000 and $7,500 available in each Series, respectively.

Additionally, Quad Magazine is sponsoring at "Holeshot Award" in SuperQuad Pro 450, awarding $1,000 to the rider who grabs the holeshot at the beginning of the final. Over in QuadTerrain, ATVRiders.com is sponsoring the "Rock'n'Roll Award" which will give a $500 bonus to the rider leaving the course's rock crawl first during the final.

The ATV Tour's two racing series: the "QuadMX Series" and the "QuadTerrain Challenge Series" compete at each event this season. 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 Taylorville 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.

The Jack Link's Feed Your Wild Side ATV Championship kicks off Friday, July 7 with open practice. Racing gets underway Saturday, with a full card of qualifying and finals for the Pro classes, as well as Amateur, Pro-Am and Youth class qualifying. Sunday will also feature a full show for the Pros, with finals scheduled for the remaining classes.

Tickets will be available at the gate.
