Quad Terrain and Enduro Cross Racing Reborn

[56x]

Attention Quad Terrain Racers and Enduro Cross Racers and Fans;
Since the fall of WPSA I have been in search of a new series as I am a Quad Terrain Racer. I’ve contacted many places and found a track that wants to run either a series or weekend event. The track is an indoor arena outside of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis & St. Paul) in New Richmond, WI. It is a new indoor arena next to a 3/8 mile dirt track where the dirt tract hosts events like World of Outlaws, late models, modifieds, ect. races Saturday nights, so they know a thing or two about racing. The dirt track is called Cedar Lake Speedway (www.cedarlakespeedway.com) and the arena is called Sandbox Arena (www.sandboxarena.com) I have been talking to the track co-owner Rob Murphy (not related to Rick Murphy) and he wants more input from racers and fans who want to attend so he knows weather or not to pursue this event or series.
It will be set up either like an Enduro Cross or Quad Terrain Race. It is early yet so no rules, classes or anything has been established.
Jennifer Rath from Rath Racing said the team will attend if there are no schedule conflicts with any other series. Jesse West from West Racing and Factory Arctic Cat Racer also said the same.
So if you want to race or see Quad Terrain or Enduro Cross again please email or phone Rob Murphy at info@sandboxarena.com or 715-248-4755 track or 651-755-0017 cell. Rob wants to know how many want to race and watch.
Looks like for scheduling between OMA, GNC, GNCC June 14, July 19 & 26, August 2, 16, & 23, and September 6 will all work for a race at the sandbox arena.
So it’s up to the racers and fans to decide if they want to see Quad Terrain or Enduro Cross Racing. All you have to do is contact Rob Murphy. I’ll do what I can, but I need your help.
Thank You,

I talked to Rob Murphy today. Tentatively the dates for the Quad Terrain series will be the weekends of; July 19, August 23, and September 6. It will be a series and champions will be named at the end as well as a manufactures championship. There would be more races but with GNC, GNCC, and OMA there are only a few dates left. So far for rules everyone will have a tether cord and either nerf bars or full floor boards. There will be a purse for both Pro classes (Utility and Sport) unlike other series.
We are working on classes and could use input from those only who plan on attending. Please PM me with helpful input. We where thinking something like this;
▪ Utility (4X4)

The Quad Terrain Racing Series has an official name which now is the Polaris Ultimate Quad Terrain Series presented by Amsoil. Carlisle Belts also has decided to support the Amateur A class riders in the Utility division, by donating a free drive belt to the winners. We are currently working with other sponsors to increase the Pro purse and amateur prizes. There will be an optional practice session on Friday nights and a practice session on Saturday mornings.
There are only three hotels in New Richmond, WI (AmericInn 715-246-3993, Riverfront Inn 715-246-4606, and Super 8 715-246-7829) and rooms are filling up fast in New Richmond, WI. Otherwise Hudson, WI and Stillwater, MN are only a ½ hour away and have many hotels in those towns.
