Granite City Trail Riders and QuadMasters to hold a National ATV event at the Benton County Fair Grounds, Sauk Rapids, Minnesota.
Posted Wednesday, May 25, 2005
(May 25, 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. Anyone interested in attending as a spectator or even better as a participant can receive more information on Quadmasters by visiting the web site at: www.quadmasters.net
