NQRA Announces
2010 Virginia Motor Mayhem ATV Racing Series
Winston-Salem, NC (2/19/2010)
- April 10, 2010 will mark the official return
of the National Quad Racing Association. With
the opening round of the 2010 Virginia Motor Mayhem
Series the NQRA announces its Grand Re-Opening
to the sport of World Class ATV racing and will
mark the start of it’s journey back to promoting
one of the most exciting sports in the country.
The sport of ATV RACING!!!
The 2010 Virginia Motor Mayhem Series will consist
of multiple forms of racing for ATVs / UTV SideXsides
/ Pit Bike Racing, Lawn Mowers, Motorcycles and
more. From TT racing, Mud Boggs, to a Gnarly Obstacle
Course, The Virginia Motor Mayhem Series will
host more excitement than our sport has ever seen.
The NQRA has stood back for the last 5 years
and watched the sport we love, move from what
was thought to be the next main stream sport,
only to take a few major blows and knock it back
down again.
We’ve also watched the economy tank and
put a major blow on the sport as many who used
to be able to afford and enjoy participating in
our sport have had to park and, and in some cases,
sell their Quads and can only stand on the sidelines
now. Well, that day is over!!!
NQRAs first order of business will be to change
the format of what has become the norm. No more
counting on the riders to pay the bills for the
promoter. NQRA will adopt the concept of reduced
fees for the riders while still maintaining a
world class event.
NQRA will be changing things like venues, no
more tracks out in the middle of nowhere, instead
we will commit to tracks at venues like fairgrounds,
and established race track venues. Venues closer
to civilization to take advantage of things like
restaurants, hotels, night life, grocery stores,
gas stations, parts houses, etc.
NQRA will be promoting events with a new train
of thought, things like, growth potential, spectator
crowds, convenience for the riders and their families,
and oh yeah, potential for sponsors outside the
ATV community.
NQRA will also be looking to combine the sport
with other sports like Lawn Mower racing, Mud
Bogs, Obstacle courses, SidexSide racing, Pit
Bike racing, and lots, lots more. With ATV Racing
always being promoted as the headliner, of course!!!
With over $80,000 in Contingencies and some recently
signed new sponsors like Remington, Napa, Twin
County Motorsports, Buy It Now, Cash Quick Denbigh,
Billy’s Paint and Body, and more, the series
is all over getting more for less for our riders
and our fans. Combine this with working relationships
with companies like ATVriders.com, Deep Creek
Advertising, First Choice Business Solutions,
and Basic Event Coordinating and this event is
starting to take on a form of a growing monster.
“Our goal is to sell a product to the general
public that will generate tons of community excitement
and involvement”, says NQRA President Randy
Dinkins.
NQRA intends to start off with the Virginia Motor
Mayhem Series at the South Central Fairgrounds
in Chase City, VA. Starting with the second weekend
in April and followed by the first weekend of
each month from May through September which will
include 4th of July and Labor Day Weekend.
These events will be highlighted by a race day
spectator “Pit Party” so the fans
can meet and get autographs and pictures from
the riders, amateurs racing two days and Pro/Am
classes racing under the lights Saturday night
along with grand scale rider intros (similar to
Supercross) with colored lights, giant spots lights,
red carpet, smoke machines, music, and more bling
than our sport has ever scene.
Combined with a new class structure, giant spectator
crowds, 2 announcers, and more than $80,000 in
contingencies to start, and you can see why NQRA
has committed to bringing back the “swagga”
to our sport. HERE COMES THE FUN!!! See ya April
10, 2010 in Chase City, VA.
