ATV Racers: It’s Time to Come Out of Hibernation

It’s been a long winter for sure but there’s hope on the horizon- racing series are starting to heat up. All of this off-season preparation can finally start paying off!

This weekend February 23-24 begins the season of two of the Midwest largest racing series IXCR and MWXC.

Not only are they both starting this weekend they are co-sanctioning for all out battle in the sand at the Badlands Off Road Park located in Attica, IN. Badlands not only is a nationally known off road park, they have some of the most unique riding terrain anybody can find. With a mixture of sand, whoops, creeks, hills, woods, open fields, mud, mx track and more Badlands has a combination that no other location can offer. The park will be fully closed to recreational riding on race day which is expected to be a big event. What better way to prepare for GNCC Florida than hitting the sand with some of the best racers in the midwest.

With classes to fit all skill levels any racer will find a class him or her can come out and have some fun while keeping it pinned.

Event schedule includes Side X Side action on Saturday with youth and adult bikes and quads racing Sunday. Dislike sitting in those long lines at registration?
