  |

"Steel City hosted a bit of an experiment with the first-ever AMA Pro ATV Open on Saturday morning. The top ATV riders raced on the same weekend as the AMA Motocross riders for the first time ever, which had many fans and critics raising an eyebrow. But none of the Pro motocrossers seemed to have a complaint. "You really couldn't tell the ATVs had been out there," said Broc Hepler after Saturday practice.
Windham embraced the idea and thought it made for a good overall weekend program, along with the WMA racing. "Everybody keeps talking about the quads. Everyone wants to know, 'Do they mess up the track?' Well, I think they did a great job at prepping the track. They were hauling butt, they were entertaining, they were doing all the jumps; they really race good. So I think that's a perfect fit for what we have going on. If they prep the track Saturday night-which they should-then I don't think we'll ever know they were there."
Maybe someone from MA Australia should take note of this ??? |

Yeah I agree, they have so much that atvers need.
Are there any tracks that do let quads on? Or did MA not allow this?

not sure M.A. have an issue with-it
.
that's the way we've raced in W.A. for some time, club, opens and State round level..
don't doubt for a minute that it hasn't been a struggle and taken some open minded individuals..with some very dedicated people on MWA committee's
.
quads are embedded in most clubs ova ere, although there is still 1 or 2 clubs that don't accept their membership, which to me is pure discrimination if your a national competition license holder..
M.A. would actually find themselves in a bit of trouble if we could prove we were subject to restricted track & event access 
.
wot clubs are you guys members of when you get your Rec or race licenses???

Great post Todd. I think most clubs in Vic are open to quads now thanks to the hard work of the QRCV.

Bring it on I say, bet there would be a huge following at tracks if people seen more quads out there.
We have 1 club that supports quads here and they do an exceptional job at supplying great tracks and awsome and challenging enduro tracks....

We need a few more mx clubs to open there doars down here. Grass track dosnt cut it all the time and a good mx track sorts alot of riders out . I have approached a few clubs but they were not keen on the idea. It would be good to get a mx series going down here but there would be a handfull of people who who ride.
