Racing ATVs at any Level

Those of you who enjoy riding all terrain vehicles as a sport know the

wide spread competition among ATV racers. Some ATVers race their quads

recreationally amongst their friends and others are much more serious racers. The serious ATV riders compete in races around the United States, some even around the world. These racers are most likely amateur or professional grade, meaning ATV racing is their life.

Along with dirt bikes, ATV quads are a type of motocross racing in most cases. Other ATV riders race in cross country competitions, such as the tournament in Las Vegas where riders race miles across the Mojave Desert.

styles and designs of ATVs are reason for the different classes, which

creates even more variety in the sport.

While the competition level among ATV racers is high, there are still those who are learning or they just enjoy racing recreationally. For

these types of ATVers, you can find local trails or racing tracks. They

will often coordinate ATV races with whatever riders are available and
