Alright guys...this looks like a lot of fun, I'm going to make it to the first race for sure and possibly hit the others...depending on how the first one turns out. Also, this isn't just open to Michigan guys...Anybody who wants to make the drive is welcome.
Basically it is an off road race at the Twisted Trails Offroad park, which is about 35 miles south west of Traverse City, MI. The course is 5-6 miles long, and consists of high speed open areas, trails, mild rocks (and I was assured a stock RZR can handle the rocks), and some jumps.
The proposed dates are:
may 7th
june 4th
aug 20th
oct 15th

Here is some footage from last year:
There are 3 classes:
Class A (approx 3 hour race):
Side X Sides (Rangers, RZR's, Rhinos, Commanders, etc., etc.) So far, this is an open class...stock engine, modified engine, stock suspension, modified, etc...it doesn't matter, "run what ya' brung". But if there is enough interest in this class, they may divide it up to make it a little more fair (stock class, and modified class).
Class B (approx 4 hour race):
Trucks, jeeps, etc. Max tire size is 35", must have 50% original body, must have 50% original frame. More details in the attached rules.
Class C (approx 4 hour race):
Trucks, Jeeps, etc. Open to whatever you can build, there should be some crazy rigs in this class.
Max 30 people per class.
There will be a $100 entry fee, plus a $25 transponder rental fee. Class C already appears to be full already, but B and A are still open. Obviously us UTV guys will be class A. You don't have to pay ahead of time, you can pay the day of the race...but you have to register before hand...30 people MAX per class, so it will fill up eventually.
Payouts will be
1st: $600
2nd: $400
3rd: $300
4th: $200
5th: $100
(based on 25+ entries per class, adjusted accordingly if they don't have 25 or more)
I am not affiliated with this park, this race series or anything in any way. I'm just a local guy who is interested in running my RZR and wanted to pass this along to more local guys. There is only 1 Class A guy registered so far, so I wanted to post this here to try and get a few more.
There is more info on the race on the attached images, but if you want...check out this link to Great Lakes 4x4 where this is being discussed.
