    yeah those quad war things are staged one time I was watching one of those where they wanted to see which was better dirt bikes or quads so they had one of each race each other and the dirt biker was ahead the hole race tell he crashed. Then it was the last lap so the quad rider was like barely moving and looking behind him so they could cross at the same time and then say its a tie and neither is better. Plus the jumps suck and everything. It is staged.

    Just for your info. The quad wars are staged. we have raced them a few times. Months in advance we know who wins and who doesnt. We get paid $100 to race. $300 to be captain and $500 to speak. Its alot of fun when you are doing it because believe it or not it is very hard to stage an accident or a crash. Just thought you might be interested in knowing how we do it.

    They ran the Quad Wars at the St.Louis Monster Jam last winter and they werent staged, although some of them do look that way. The one I saw was a real race with guys like Tim Farr, Jermiah Jones, and I think Dana Creech was one too. These guys hauled around that track clearing triples and everything. That was there the sweetest racing Ive ever seen. Tim Farr ended up winning the A main. Then to top it off I got to see Goldberg and Grave digger loose their wheels in freestyle, LOL!

    That was not Quad Wars. We actually had to qualify and race for that positions. 83 of us showed up and only 20 of us raced in the final event. That was a 5 race series we had last year.
