Where to Ride This Winter

October 9, 2014October 8, 2014 by Austin Rohr

Practicing during the off season can be a great way to continue progressing and getting things dialed in. Seat time is essential to perfecting your craft, and hours at the track can be fun and relaxing if you can meet up with a few of your good friends. This is also a great time to try to set up your quad or get back into the rhythm following breakage of you or your machine. Unfortunately, finding a place to ride can be difficult as some tracks close up for the season. Luckily, for riders in the North West, Pit Traffic has you covered.

Clark County Indoor Resumes for 2013 – RIDERS NEEDED

October 8, 2013October 7, 2013 by promoto

The 2013 indoor season will be a quick 5 Sundays of racing at the Clark County events center. Quads are absolutely essential this year. Promoto Promotions needs 50 quads to break even for this series, or quads will not be welcome next year. Promoto has ALWAYS been quad friendly and given us fair treatment. If you can make it, plan on it. Everywhere West of the mountain will be too wet for practice anyway, so you might as well go inside for practice. Visit ccarenax.com for details and information. Schedule is up on our new events calendar also.

Joe Byrd School – Iron Mine Race updates

October 7, 2013 by Pit Traffic Staff

Darci Hansen takes a minute to clarify and update the information on the Joe Byrd school and JFred benefit racing at Iron Mine:

Specific school times:

Gates Open Wed Night, 5pm
School Starts Thurs 10am (Joe will run you until 5-6pm)
School Ends Friday (between 5-6pm)

Enduro Blast kicks off with an ATV / UTV Rodeo at 7pm on Friday night

Note: Joe will start Friday’s school between 8-9 Friday, depending on how tired you are.

I wanted to take just a moment to clear up the possible confusion regarding the Joe Byrd School.Please know that when dates were being tossed around, we were looking for the optimum time to provide this opportunity… the biggest request was to wait until most of the racing seasons were over. Thus, the final date we selected.

When we selected that date, I thought it would be a brilliant (to be determined) idea to bring to fruition a combination style race

Joe Byrd School Utah and Iron Mine race event updates

August 8, 2013August 9, 2013 by Pit Traffic Staff

Colt Brinkerhoff has announced a change in dates for this event: I know it’s been hell trying to get this thing organized and we’re sorry for that. That date has been changed for the 3rd weekend of October, the reason being is because TQRA decided to have a $30,000 pro purse so Joe is going to that, and JFRED wouldn’t be able to make it to Cedar for that weekend. I’m as bummed as you. The school will be held on 17th and 18th of October, there is going to be a race on Saturday of mx and GP style … Read more

August 5, 2013August 6, 2013 by Pit Traffic Staff

Gifted Productions has been hard at work, organizing more sessions (including a possible quad race at Hangtown – more details later as they become available), getting riders’ some track time in the Nor-Cal area as well as filming it and editing it.

Why YOUR support matters.

July 2, 2013June 26, 2013 by Megan

Take a quick 30 seconds and name the top 5 sponsors of the series you run. Actually, just name any 5. Could you do it without cheating? Ok. Now of all the series sponsors , from which have you purchased a product? Any? Here’s where there is a problem. Riders are not supporting the companies supporting their series. And yes, I’m looking at you ATV racers.

See all those sponsors supporting your racing? When was the last time you ordered from one of them or thanked them for keeping your series going?

“Well I pay gate and race fees,” is ringing out right now in some of your heads, justifying your position. “Racing is expensive enough already,” and of course it is. But, for example, when a goggle company sponsors your series and you aren’t under contract with another company, why wouldn’t you buy their goggles? “I don’t like the fit,” “they are too expensive,” “I don’t need new goggles right now.” Those are all legitimate reasons, but are you going to say that for EVERY SERIES SPONSOR? And the fact they are expensive is irrelevant. Save $5 on a competing company that isn’t supporting your chosen race series, and what incentive does any company have to support what you want to do?
