White Bear Lake, MN (12/28/2006)
- The WPSA PowerSports ATV Tour will
sanction 27 Pro, Pro Am, Youth and Amateur classes
during the 2007 ATV racing season. Due to an
overwhelmingly positive response, the Tour has
added the Pro SuperSport "UTV" class
to its Pro lineup, which also includes the popular
SuperQuad Pro 450 MX and the Pro Stock QuadTerrain
Challenge classes.
"When we ran the side-by-side vehicles at our
last race of 2006, the excitement from our fans, our
teams and our stakeholders was unmistakable, making
it an obvious addition to our already thrilling Pro
ATV racing show," said PowerSports Entertainment,
Inc. CEO Rick Murphy. "This, along with some
important changes in our Pro-Am, Amateur and Youth
classes, should make 2007 one of our most exciting
seasons on record."
In addition to the changes in the Pro classes, the
Tour will provide alternative lines for riders wishing
to run in the Amateur QuadTerrain Challenge classes,
which includes Stock Lites (601-700cc), Stock Unlimited
(601+cc), and Modified.
"We are dedicated to our ladder system in the
PowerSports ATV Tour," said Scott O'Malley, president
of PowerSports Entertainment, Inc. "It's important
we allow Amateur riders, who have limited budgets
and experience, a place to compete with an eye on
stepping up to our top QuadTerrain Challenge Class.
Alternative, amateur, lines will give these riders
a place to compete without the concern of damaging
equipment or racing at a level beyond their experience."
YOUTH CLASSES
The Tour has made several notable changes to its youth
classes. Production Lites 13-15 will remain the same
as in years past, while the 0-50cc Junior and Senior
Classes have been modified. The 0-50cc Limited Class
(4-6) will be open to quads with automatic clutch,
and CVT belt drives, while the 0-55cc Production Class
(6-8) will be open to quads with auto clutches.
The balance of the youth classes are: 51-70cc (production,
auto clutch 6-11); 70cc (shifter, 6-11); 71-90cc,
2 Stroke, 75-125cc, 4 Stroke Production (8-11); 71-90cc,
2 Stroke, 75-125cc, 4 Stroke Production (12-15); 90cc
Production (CVT belt drive, 8-15); 75-125cc 4 Stroke
Production (8-15); 90cc 2 Stroke, 125cc 4 Stroke Modified

The Tour has also split the women's class into two
classes: A and B/C.
