Quadmasters - Ultimate ATV Challenge Comes To MN

[Dave]

Granite City Trail Riders and QuadMasters to hold a

National ATV event at the Benton County Fair Grounds, Sauk

Rapids, Minnesota.

(June 1, 2005, Sauk Rapids, MN) Chuck Twedt, Pres. of the

Granite City Trail Riders ATV Club announced today that the

club is excited to be the hosts for a skills event for all

ATV riders.

“QUADMASTERS, the Ultimate ATV Challenge Tour will make a

stop in Minnesota on Saturday and Sunday September 24th and

25th 2005. This is one of ten events conducted nationally

by Quadmasters as part of their national ATV challenge

Tour.” Chuck went on to say, “This is the first time in

Minnesota and all plans are to make it an annual event.”

Twedt also stated that, “To our knowledge this is the

first major ATV event of this type to be held in Central

Minnesota. We are pleased that Quadmasters has chosen this

area and our club is excited to be working with the G.E.N.

Group to promote the event to the surrounding markets.”

Minnesota DNR reports that there are over 200,000 ATV’s

registered in the state, of which approximately 44% of

these are in central Minnesota where there are neither

official trails nor events. “A Wisconsin economic study

shows that that state is a big recipient of tourist dollars

from Minnesota’s ATV owners. Metropolitan owners find it

closer to drive to Wisconsin to ride or to attend an

event.” Twedt stated. “This will make a Minnesota event

within close proximity and lay the foundation to keep

tourist dollars in the local economy.”

There will be eight events or challenges in different

classes. This is a skill event for utility vehicle owners.
