Hello everybody, I have been racing quads for quite some time now and I am in the process of starting a Quad Only Series in CNY. This series would be rider driven, meaning we as riders make the decisions for the series. The first thing we have to do is find out about how many riders we could expect to make sure there is enough interest. Having a quad only series creates smoother track conditions, less politics, and ultimately more fun. If this is something a lot of you are interested in please give me your input so I can put it to use. This is an opportunity of a lifetime, certain tracks are willing to hook us up but we need to show them that we have numbers and interest.

hey i'm starting a atv club in cny and am interested in your ideas. i know a few racers that race atvs . so i think us working together would a good idea. heck i can hook us up to use the madison county fairgrounds. and there is a oval track .always wanted to have a quad oval race there. 2 quads go around in a circle going over a few jumps and cornering around the corners sideways.. but here is my email address-cnyatvrider@yahoo.com.hit me up .

We are in the preliminary stages of this but we need to know a fairly accurate number for how many people will show up so the tracks will not lose money. I know I am not giving you much info at this point but I can't yet. I will be posting new info daily as far as the progress goes. All I can tell you right now is these events will be held at awesome tracks and we will more then likely have cash and product prizes for each race. Let everyone you know about this so I can get this rolling a.s.a.p.. As far as oval racing goes, I do not know many guys that do it but it is certainly something to talk about, mainly this would be motocross. Thanks for your response.

i honestly doubt it'd work. look at the AGP, they started as quad only but had to allow bikes to make ends meat, they can't draw enough people to have any races in NY, and with gas prices as high as they are it's tough to have a series unless the tracks are on top of each other. never seen a quad only series do real well on a local level.

I'd be interested in getting in on something like this.. I'm considering selling my race cars & this would be a lot cheaper way to race.. I think we should focus on having fun, instead of trying to make a lot of money...

A lot of people doubt that it will work but there are enough quads in CNY to pull it off if we can just organize. We now have a base to do that with AMRA which is an organization that is a riders organization, we make our own rules and choose where we want to ride and believe it or not the membership is free. This is going to be a huge opportunity for all quad riders in CNY all we need to do is get the word out there and please keep an eye on this forum and you can also sign up onto www.amra.activeboard.com. The website is in the process of getting up and running and will be targeted more towards quads very soon. As of right now you can expect that this series will start more towards August. And in response to justme23005, yes it will be focused towards having a ton of fun and we are working towards substantial cash prizes along with product prizes which should generate a ton of interest. Part of the fun that we are working on is throwing parties at the participating tracks where you will ride all day and party all night but I need your suggestions to put to use as well. Thanks for the input so far and spread the word that this is up and coming.

i won the rock maple quad terrain race at williamstown last year where you race utility 4x4 i havent ridden a race bike in years but if you can maybe include us youd get better chances, at attendance good luck

I live right in Bridgewater the Madison county fair grounds track would be a great idea.

Im wondering the tracks your thinking of racing at sence i only no of one that is known in ny.

how about just drag racing!


my banshee is better for that then MX

and i always find more people at drag races then MX for quads

We ultimately want to do a combination of events including motocross, utility and possibly drag racing. I am glad to see some possative responses and ideas and the more I get the bigger this event will get. Also if anyone is interested in sponsoring this type of event please call me at 315-529-8585.

So far it would be Savannah MX, Thornwood MX, and Cohocton MX. This will be a 6 or 7 race series with product prizes and cash prizes for class winners.

here in wisconsin there is a series that does drags, mud bogs, and mx for each race. they do fairly well for attendance i do believe

Sounds like a good idea to me, could be something im interested in and im sure plenty will show!

I am thrilled to see the possative responses and the ideas, keep them flowing. I want to turn this into a huge event and need as much input as possible. Anybody that is interested for sure email me your address, phone number, and what type of event you want in this series and I will mail you fliers and a FREE membership form, my email is hunter56628@yahoo.com. Thanks again guys I can't wait to get racing.

Does the series ever get up North?

they do it around the crandon area, and they also just built a brand new mx track in tigerton for it.

there website is www.fantasymoto.com go there and check out the ultimate quad experience or something like that

hunter...hate to rain on your parade, but there is currently a quad series only circuit, rock maple being 1, and theres another but forgot the name of it, and also you have district 3 (cnymra.com) that run quads with the bike, i raced quads for 5 years and every year someone tried to do what your doing. i quit racing in 06 when rock maple began their series. from what ive heard it did ok. all of the local mx tracks would let us quads have our own race day,. but scince the cost of have the track open is so high we as racers could not afford it. plain and simple. at most we get 50 quads at a mx race for D3 when i was racing. i also ran flat track quads, frozen ocean had a series that raced every friday night. we raced with the go carts, well what do you know a better track opened up so a majority of the carts were racing there instead, so the $ of carts declined and no more flat tracking, again not enough racers and spectators to support the cost of running the joint, other tracks tried to open but failed, not enough people. you have alot of competition to deal with in making your own series. to get the racers you need to put up prize money!!! and have nice tracks. and run a well orginazed event, i didnt like what you said in your first post "riders will run the event" ........dude are you serious, that will be nothing but trouble, deligate someone to be the referee plain and simple. other wise you will have way to much BS goin on and people will not participate in your event cuse they are a joke. have your contacted any of the local tracks like, motomasters in mexico, broome tioga, thunder ridge, thornwood mx, royal mountain, frozen ocean (owner of the track doesnt really like quads so have fun talkin with bill demnan) now some questions im goin to ask you.. have you ever raced motocross. how old are you.

Apparently you didn't read through the whole forum, I have been racing motocross for about 6 years. I raced bikes for the first 4 and now I race quads because I find it more challenging and I like doing all the mods to the quad that bikes don't really need. I already have 3 tracks on board with what I am trying to do and one of them is helping coordinate everything, and the prize money will be coming from sponsors, not the riders, the money coming from the riders will be for the track owners. The only other quad only series that comes into our area is Rock Maple which is very expensive to follow because it goes into Maine and other states so a lot of riders cannot afford to follow it. Quad racing is exploding right now because the technology is finally getting good enough to make them more race ready and reliable. District 3 is a great motocross district, but if you ride quads you only get one class which means you sit around for 12-14 hours to have about 45 minutes actually on the track. I know not everybody is going to be on board with what I am doing and that is fine, but if all you guys that say that this is a bad idea and can still ride would just get on your machine and come ride maybe we would get the turnout we need. And what I mean by "riders will run the event" is that the riders will make there own rules and choose where they want to ride, which already works very well for the bike Outlaw MX Series. There has never really been a very good promoter of structure for a quad only series but I believe now is the time to get it going. And no I'm not just some teenager that has no experience with motocross wasting everybodies time. Thanks for your input.

i think you took my post the wrong way.. im not knocking it, ive been out of the scene for 2 years but alot of people tried this and yes the tracks were interested but it failed cuse of the turnouts and getting sponsors. trust me i would rather run a quad only series and not a D3 event cuse i hated the waiting game, half the reason i took time off from racing , that and i had a bad wreck on a quad in july of 06 and sold my quad to pay the bills from it. whats your name cuse if youve been in the D3 scene i probably know you or we have met. what 3 tracks do you have lined up. my above post was based on what i knew then, not what i know at this present time. i think this can spawn into a great thing for quad racers, but i think its gonna take more than a whole race season to do it and your gonna have to make sure people you line up for it know that. just my 2 cents

hey i just noticed you posted about a guy askin about a rhino, i take it you know shawn down to universal sales, and im guessing hes your sponsor you mentioned. hes a good guy and should be able to help you out, mario mechanic, he knows alot fo guys and i know alot of his guys he rides with, i was supposed to go to mototown with em all a few weeks ago but couldnt get away.

I do know Shawn and Mario very well, what is your name? If you know who I am you should be able to tell it is definately me by my screen name on the forum (Hunter566). I was going to go to Mototown as well but it was easter weekend and did not have the time to go because of family events. Shawn and Mario are very involved in this project and have already donated to it, if you ride quads are you going to commit to this series more towards August, if so call me at 315-529-8585 or stop down to Universal Sales and talk to them. Make sure you tell everybody you know who rides quads that there will be a series coming up towards August and they need to show or this will be the last attempt they will see for a quad only series. The tracks that are going to be involved can't stand to lose money this time around. Keep in mind that there will be prize $$$ and products for this series. Thanks for the post and keep it goin.

Myself and about 4 to 5 others will be promoting this series starting now until we actually have the series in August, we aren't starting the series early because we need to take time and promote to make sure that people are going to show so the tracks don't lose money on this, they don't expect to make money this year just break close to even. Like I posted previously now is the time to promote this because the quad scene is growing at a fast rate. If you have or buy another quad and want to support this then send your name and address to my personal email and I will send you a flier a.s.a.p. My email is hunter56628@yahoo.com. Thanks for your interest

i have a local atv repair shop that has a few racers that races atvs. its the baja shop (baha shop) its in hubbertsville near shureburne. his number is(315)691-6415. the owners name is steve brooks ,and hes a great guy too.

Awesome, thanks for the info once I have some solid info I will call him. We will be holding a sign up party at Savannah MX Park probably in June, ride all day and party all night.

Just wanted to let anyone know that is interested that I will have solid dates for the AMRA quad only series by the end of next week. Thanks

I am from the Buffalo area and I have a riding crew of 5 or 6 guys that would def come out and race a few of the events

There is going to be cash or product prizes for every class if you win so if you can make it to all six events you will have the chance to win. And please tell everyone you know that rides quads that this will be coming up in August. Thanks

just make sure you call steve at the baha shop so he can pass the word too.

I definately will, like I posted previously I will have firm dates by the end of next week. The bottom line is we need to have at the very least 50 quads to pull this event off so I will be recruiting everyone I can. Also keep in mind we are going to have a date for a sign up party soon, ride all day party all night. Thanks.
