'UTILITY TERRAIN CHALLENGE'
SERIES HITS THE DIRT AT RACEWAY PARK
DURING THE POWERSPORTS ATV TOUR'S 2006 SEASON
FINALE WEEKEND
ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. (Aug. 8, 2006) — The WPSA
PowerSports ATV Championship Tour will host a
Utility Terrain Challenge exhibition race,
during the PowerSports ATV Tour Grand
Championship Aug. 19-20 at Old Bridge Township
Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J. The event will
be held the Saturday of the race weekend as part
of the PowerSports Tour Grand Championship 2006
season finale.
The new class is open to utility vehicles,
such as the Yamaha Rhino, Arctic Cat Prowler,
the Polaris Ranger and others. These four-wheel,
two-seat utility machines, will compete on the
big air QuadMX course, showcasing the machines’
horsepower and agility. Rules will allow a host
of aftermarket modifications, making these true
racing machines.
“We have received feedback from many riders
and fans interested in seeing utility vehicles
have their own Championship Class in which to
compete,” said PowerSports Entertainment, Inc.
CEO Rick Murphy. “During preliminary tests at
previous events this season, we found utility
vehicle racing both exciting and competitive. We
will pay close attention to the exhibition in
New Jersey with the idea of adding this class to
next season’s Championship lineup.”
Supplementary Rules governing the Utility
Terrain Challenge event can be downloaded in the
