Attacked - ATVers Attack Back
Everyone has seen
the horror that took place Tues. Sept 11.
Most of us live too far away to go help with the
rescue effort, so what can we do? That was
the question that faced the ATV community in Jefferson
and Lewis Counties in Northern NY. Through
a cooperative effort between the newly opened Adirondack
International Speedway, 10 ATV Clubs, and the North
Country ATV Drag Circuit have decided to put on
an ATV Fundraiser to be hosted at the Speedway on
Oct 12, 13, 14.
The schedule for
the weekend is going to be the Speedway opens on
Friday the 12th for the overnight campers and early
Registration. On Sat. the 13th ATV Drags and
Mudbogs will be held. Registration will be
held at 7-10am with the events starting between
11 and noon. The drags will have classes for
all ATVs and Dirt Bikes from kids to utility to
the Screamin Banshee. The classes for the
Mudbog will be broken down into 2 & 4 wheel drive.
On Sunday the
14th, we will have the ATV Pulls with another event
to follow if time permits. Also on hand will be
vendors from all the major ATV and parts manufacturers.
We are shooting
to have the largest turn out of any ATV Event ever
held in NY, and to raise major dollars for the relief
effort in New York City. This would be a great
public relations event to show that ATVers are not
the rebels who destroy the land as we are perceived
by many.
We urge all ATVers
from the country that can make it to please do so!
We would also like to host this event yearly in
the spring and incorporate a Poker Run into this
with maybe a MX race to follow.
