Plans are now in the works for North 40 (Sherman, TX) to host the First Annual International Quad Challenge! We are currently talking to Pro flat track racers from across the USA, Canada and Japan. You are all invited to come and participate in what will be one of the greatest gatherings of ATV riding talent in recent memory!

Classes we are currently planning for include:

Money classes:
Open Pro (Anything goes: engine, tires, etc. safety inspection will be conducted!)
Pro 2-stroke (up to 500cc two stroke, flat track tires only, 50" max width)
Pro 4-stroke (up to 700cc, flat track tires only, 50" max width)
Pro Production (up to 450cc four stroke, stock frame, flat track tires only, 50" max width)

**The open pro class will have a respectable purse. Track Owner David Henry has already offered up a generous amount of money and we are working with other organizations to contribute!

Trophy Classes:(Same rules apply to Pro-Am classes as they do for corresponding Pro class)
Pro-Am 2-stroke
Pro-Am 4-stroke
Pro-Am production

We will also offer youth and pee-wee classes. Bring them and they will race.

Gate fees and race fees will be announced soon.

Right now, we are looking at dates in Late November. That might seem like a long way off, but believe me it will be here before you know it. We also want to be sure and avoid having the date conflict with another race.

Scheduled to race include Canada's #1 plate holder and current Pikes Peak record holder Jim Goertz (JAGS Repairz). And one of Canada's top young riders, Matt Kearsey (just 19), who now holds the 4-stroke record on Pikes Peak. We also have former Pikes Peak Winners, John Stallworth (NMotion engine Guru) and Johnny Angel (Johnny is also one of the top pros in the WORCS series out west). Also, we are hoping to see Japan's top ATV pro, Yoshimune Shirai. And who knows, we might even have a few other surprises, as well.
We have several groups of riders coming down from Colorado, and Kansas and now we need the rest of you, from wherever you are, to come and complete the field.
I'll be there throwing the flags, and with a little luck, my quad will be ready so I can race, too.

Stay tuned for further developments, and tell your friends. Now THIS...is going to be fun.

Sounds Awesome.....

Dude, if you came all the way down from Hinton, I'd give you free entrance to the race and you can run as many classes as you want for free. I'd also throw in a trophy for making the nearly 5000 mile (8050km) round trip!

I'd even pay for your room and feed you!

Should be a good time...hope you can make it!

you do that for me and I'll be there for sure!

Consider it Done (If you're coming from 2500 miles away, that is)!! Get here! We need more Canadians! We have two for sure, and maybe four coming for sure, and we could always use more.

Here's the rest of the race details:
The date is set and nearly all of the details have been worked out!

We will be running the International Quad Challenge along with the "open tire" TT race at North40 on October 14th! This means that in addition to the regular oval track classes that we are offering as part of the Quad Challenge, you can also sign up for the TT as well! No flat track tires? NO PROBLEM! We have classes for your quad! So bring it!

We have confirmation from Jim Goertz in Canada, and he'll be bringing around at least one and maybe two other Canadians. We also have confirmation from some of the NMotion guys from Kansas, including Engine guru and former Pikes Peak Champion John Stallworth. And we also have confirmation from several racers from Colorado as well. This means we could have 3 or 4 former and current Pikes Peak Hill Climb champions on the track at ther same time! Come see and race with some of the most talented, and fastest riders on the ATV scene!

NOW WE JUST NEED YOU!! That's right...it's not a party until you get here!

So make plans now to be at North40 on October 14th to be a part of what will be an instant classic.

Just got back from the CHCA (Colorado Hill Climb Association) race in Victor Colorado, and several of those riders have confirmed that they are coming down for the race in October. These are some of the best Motocross, Flat Track, TT, off road and road racers in the Rocky Mountain region. They are really looking forward to coming down to race with all of us here in Texas!

We might even have some surprise pro racers show up for the event from the GNC Motocross and Extreme Dirt Track series. They are currently reviewing their schedules to see if they can make the event. So STAY TUNED! As soon as we have confirmation, I'll let you know more! New things happening all the time!
