WPSA Powersports ATV Tour Unveil
FANTASY ATV RACING.com Contest
Mayfield
Village, OH / White Bear Lake, MN (April 17,
2007) – American Suzuki Motor Corp, ATV
Scene.com, Isoaxis Creative Consulting and the
WPSA PowerSports ATV Tour, in a unique
partnership, have unveiled the Fantasy ATV
Racing.com Contest. The free contest is now live
at www.FantasyATVRacing.com. Contest players can
win many great prizes, including a race-prepared
Suzuki LT-R450.
To play, participants simply need to go to
FantasyATVRacing.com, enter a valid email
address, and submit podium picks for each
SuperQuad Pro 450 race on the Tour.
“This is an exciting contest that will bring
fans much closer to the sport of ATV Racing,”
said PowerSports Entertainment CEO Rick Murphy.
“The interactive contest offers great prizes and
will certainly be a hit this season. We’re
pleased to be a part of it.”
Suzuki LTR-450 is the Grand Prize |
The Grand Prize Suzuki LT-R450 is no ordinary
ATV. Thanks to Team MSR/ Pro
Taper/Suzuki/Yoshimura (Energized by Rockstar),
the Suzuki QuadRacer R450 is equipped with the
same race-winning accessories and modifications
that Doug Gust used to win the 2006 WPSA
Championship, including more than $6,000 worth
of engine modifications from Yoshimura. The ATV
will be awarded in a drawing from participants
who successfully predict a “trifecta”, the exact
podium at any the 10 races this season.
“Suzuki is really excited about being
involved with this fun, interactive program,”
said Rod Lopusnak, American Suzuki Motor Corp.
vice president of operations. "We see it as a
way to get people more involved with quads in
general and racing in particular. Anyone can
play and experience the thrill of ATV riding and
racing."
Whoever earns the most points during the
season will be crowned Fantasy ATV Racing Champ
and win a complete Yoshimura racing engine (for
any make) with an approximate retail value
$2,500!
Several other end-of-year prize packages are
available from Yoshimura, Elka, ITP, IMS-Roll
Products, MSR, Pro Taper, Full Bore, KBC
Helmets, JPMX, Daniel Boone MX and more.
End-of-year prizes will be awarded at the Tour’s
season-ending banquet, following the season
finale, Sept. 15-16 in Fairfield County, SC.
In addition, prize packages will be presented
following each round. For the first round a
lucky winner will walk away with Pro Series nerf
bars, foot pegs, heel guards, hand guards, an
Intimidator bumper and fuel tank from IMS-Roll
Design.
Fantasy ATV Racing.com is completely
automated and can handle thousands of players at
a time. Entrants can even make selections from
their laptops and cell phones at the track or on
the road.
“We’re ready for the masses,” said Brit
Mansell, of Isoaxis Creative Consulting,
designer of the high-tech fantasyatvracing.com
interface. “We’re able to accept more than 5,000
entries simultaneously. It’s probably overkill,
but we like it that way.” You can enter your
podium selections up to one hour before the
start of the first pro heat race at each round
of the WPSA Powersports Tour, but don’t be
late…after that all bets are off. Since the
system is entirely automated Fantasy ATV
Racing.com players can check their point
standings as soon as the podium is official. How
cool is modern day technology?”
“ATV Scene.com pioneered this contest back in
2001 and it was a smashing success. The problem
was it got too big to handle so we had to put it
on hold until we found someone with the right
skill set to build a completely automated
system,” said John Pellan, president of ATV
Scene.com. “Brit has worked with us on several
projects, so teaming up with him was an easy
decision. We’ve done a lot of beta testing and
it’s finally ready. Fantasy ATV Racing.com will
be the coolest contest in the ATV industry--bar
none!”
