White Bear Lake, MN (8/9/2006) - The
WPSA PowerSports ATV Championship Tour will host
a Utility Terrain Challenge exhibition race, during
the PowerSports ATV Tour Grand Championship Aug.
19-20 at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown,
N.J. The event will be held the Saturday of the
race weekend as part of the PowerSports Tour Grand
Championship 2006 season finale.
The new class is open to utility vehicles, such as
the Yamaha Rhino, Arctic Cat Prowler, the Polaris
Ranger and others. These four-wheel, two-seat utility
machines, will compete on the big air QuadMX course,
showcasing the machines' horsepower and agility. Rules
will allow a host of aftermarket modifications, making
these true racing machines.
"We have received feedback from many riders
and fans interested in seeing utility vehicles have
their own Championship Class in which to compete,"
said PowerSports Entertainment, Inc. CEO Rick Murphy.
"During preliminary tests at previous events
this season, we found utility vehicle racing both
exciting and competitive. We will pay close attention
to the exhibition in New Jersey with the idea of adding
this class to next season's Championship lineup."
Supplementary Rules governing the Utility Terrain
Challenge event can be downloaded in the Rule Book
Updates section of www.PowerSportsTour.com.
