TREC dates for 2011 announced!

TREC is Trail Racing Endurance Circuit a.k.a. FOOT TO THE FLOOR - AVOID THAT TREE - FLY THROUGH THE AIR - KEEP IT ON AT LEAST TWO WHEELS RACE!

TREC transforms the average Saturday trail ride (traveling less than five miles per hour) to a race over the mountains, through the woods and across the awesome dunes of Badlands Off Road Park at redline speeds!

TREC is about endurance not the difficulty of an obstacle.  A 12+ mile course has been designed at the Badlands Off Road Park in Attica, IN.  This course will encompass everything a normal slow trail ride has such as rocks, hills, mud, sand etc. but now speed has been incorporated into the competition!  The Badlands has the unique ability to offer a small scale desert-style race and dense woods that will maximize the thrill and offer even more excitement!

TREC will have four evening races at The Badlands Off-Road Park.  The races will last approximately two hours and take place after the Park closes.  TREC will have multiple vehicles at one time starting in staged starts and racers will have two classes to choose from to accommodate different vehicles. 

As Fall approaches the races will drive into the moonlight and the fourth and final event of the season will include the most exhilarating element – darkness!   
Race 1-April 2nd
Race 2-April 30th
Race 3-June 4th
Race 4-July 23rd(UMC)
Race 5-August 13th
Race 6-September 10th
Race 7-October 8th

TREC will be open to adapted full body trail vehicles and buggy type vehicles with an affordable entry fee.

On a side note we have 2 Motocross races set for May 21st and July 16th.

RZR Mask for ATV, Dirt Bike Riding

RZR Mask offers a solution for filtering out dust and dirt particles during an off-road ride. Here is the company’s press release:

Did you know that something as common as inhaling dust, fumes or even just really cold air can be dangerous? “Your lungs are susceptible to airborne particles. Anything you breathe in has a direct pathway to inside your body,” cautions outdoor enthusiast and entrepreneur Steve Torbenson has been riding everything from mini-bikes to go-karts since he was a kid. “People assume cheap dust masks or wet bandannas trap most of the harmful particles, but they can’t do the job as effectively as a mask that uses a carbon-activated filter.”

After seeing his children’s faces blackened by dust after a day of riding, Torbenson decided to make lung protection his biggest priority. “Dust is one of the biggest problems encountered by outdoor sports enthusiasts. People who enjoy dirt bikes, ATVs, etc. often wind up covered with grime – and they are still coughing it up several days later. Likewise, NASCAR enthusiasts hate breathing in car exhaust. Runners often battle high pollen counts. Air quality is a recurring issue among athletes and spectators alike.

“Our goal to provide the best protection we can to combat these pollutants, for everyday use as well as sports. RZR Masks will allow you to enjoy your favorite activities without jeopardizing your health.”
