Frequently Asked Questions |

The X-treme Challenge is the most exciting event in the range of ATV events. The course is constructed with hills, water holes, hairpin turns, mud obstacles, logs and rocks. Two stock ATV’s of the same class run head to head. They start in separate 12 foot lanes. After passing the first water hole the lanes are eliminated and it is an all out race. The race ends when the machines reach the last obstacle, a large hill. They must climb the hill and drop to the other side and come to a complete stop. The (Stop Box) has an orange cone at the end of it. On the cone rests a tennis ball. If the ATV hits the cone and the Tennis Ball drops off the ATV is eliminated. This creates a lot of excitement because even though one machine may get out in front the second must continue because the first machine could be eliminated in the stop box. |
