Check this out everyone! Sorry about the short notice but just got it up on everything! July 17th in Crab Orchard, IL at Little Egypt Off-Road will be a 12 HOUR ENDURO! Quads and bikes are allowed to race. You can have an unlimited amount of team members or ride by yourself.
All proceeds to go the Make-A-Wish Foundation. So help some kids out by going to this race. It is only $10 to enter the race and will run on a 6-8 mile course. I'll be checking it out on either Thurs or Friday so I'll know then. I live 10 minutes from the park so if anybody ends up needing help or anything then it's no problem for me. I will help anybdy out who comes down since it's what I'd like to do and I'ma club member at the park.
Classes are:
1. Industry - Manufacturer teams and dealer sponsored teams
2. Open - Whatever you want to ride or do, anything goes
3. Club - Made for clubs who're racing together
4. Ironman - For those who dare try it
I tried the Ironman at the 6hr race last year and succeeded w/4th place and it was the most fun I've ever had racing! You will not regret attending this race. Track times and standing will be visable at all times during the race. Each team will have a tag that will be exchanged between quads/bikes each time riders switch. You can use one machine or use your own. There's not team machine limit or rules really. Quads and bikes will go together too so it'll be a challenge. You don't have to but for the cause they have said to try and get sponsors to pay you. Something like a dollar a lap. Anybody can be a sponsor. Ask you neighbor even! My grandparents are going to help sponsor my team. Prices will be given but nothing big. It's mostly t-shirts, gear, and maybe a plaque to most laps in each class. It's low cost and for charity so give the guys a break.
Race time is 10am to 10pm --- And by the way; I NEED SOME TEAM MEMBERS!!!! I'll be riding a 450R and would like 2 other quad riders to join me or atleast one. If you can for sure make it then please state it. I'd like to know who to put on my team and get an estimate of how many will be going there to help cover numbers for the place.
LEOR offers free camping for those who want to stay and Marion is right down the road which has tons of fast food/nice restaurants, hotels, gas, and such. Sign-up starts at 8am for the race and ends at 9:30. If you're on a team, only one member has to be in attendance at the start. Others can come later on and get in. The team leader is the only one who has to be there for sign-up. Like I said, this is the most fun event you'll have this year in the midwest and it's for a very good cause. Good luck to those entering and I look forward to hearing from you guys. Sorry for the long post. Official details located at http://www.leormc.com
