UTV and SIDExSIDE MUSCLE PULL
Well, this is the true test of brute strength and determination for our UTV/SxS riders. Entrants must pass an inspection to ensure their ATV can be safely tethered to a weighted ATV by their swing arm (no grab bars) or other acceptable attachment points. This event will be strictly refereed. This is a measured distance and timed competition. On each run, the rider will pull a loaded SUV down a track to the finish line or until the referee orders a “shutdown". Referees will calculate the times and/or distances achieved. The field of riders with the best times and/or distance will be reduced by half each run until there is one ultimate winner. Sign-ups are mandatory and the entry fee is $5.00. Trophied event.
