GBC Announces $15,000 Win Purse for Heartland
Challenge Endurance Race
Fun Valley, IA -
GBC Motorsports has been announced as the title
sponsor of the first-ever Heartland Challenge
Endurance Race, scheduled for November 7-8,
2008, at Fun Valley in Montezuma, IA. GBC has
pledged to pay out a 1st place prize of $7500.00
in the Pro Utility ATV class, which is the
highest amount ever paid for a Pro Utility class
win, and $7500.00 for the winner of the Pro
Sport ATV class as well.
In addition to the enormous Pro payouts, GBC
Motorsports is also heading up a contingency
program for the event. In order to be eligible
for the GBC contingency program, every machine
used on the team must have on GBC Motorsports
for the entire duration of the race. The Pro
Sport ATV and Pro Utility ATV class contingency
payout is $500.00 each class for 1st place.
The ATV Sport and ATV Utility Ironman classes
will have a $250.00 payout for 1st place, while
all other classes will pay out $100.00 for a 1st
place finish.
The Heartland Challenge is a true ATV
endurance race that is designed for the Pro's,
to the amateurs, to UTV classes, and features
the toughest class of all, the Ironman class.
The two-day event offers plenty of fun and
excitement for everyone. There will be 13
classes racing all at the same time, with NO
breaks. Each team will be allowed up to 3
riders per team with as many quads. All
teams will be allowed to use only one quad at a
time, while all other quads will be held in a
secured location. Each team will be
allowed to switch out quads through out the
10-hour event, but no repairs or inspections
will be allowed on the ATVs while in impound.
There will be no breaks or time-outs during the
race, which means you will not lose the lead you
have on the other teams.
The Heartland Challenge also will be offering
the very first 3-Hour Challenge for youth ATV
riders with 5 different classes for ages ranging
from 4 to 15 years old. The 3-Hour Challenge
teams will be just like the big boys with up to
3 riders with as many quads without any breaks.
Side-by-Side racing has also been included by
popular demand to compete in their own 3 hour
challenge on Friday evening. We will be
offering 4 classes and the racing will wrap-up
after sunset, so lights will be required.
A full schedule of events and classes, along
with pre-registration information, can be found
