Las Vegas, NV (11/20/2007)
- Two ITP/Moose Racing AMA/ATVA National Motocross
promoters were honored at the Annual AMA Sports
Award Banquet Friday night at the Rio All Suite
Hotel and Casino. Racer Productions was honored
as ATVA Organizer of the Year, and 4P Promotions
received accolades as Motocross Organizer of
the Year.
“We are extremely proud of the two
most recognized promoters in the country making
up part of the AMA Pro ATV Racing series,”
said Harv Whipple, AMA Pro ATV Racing Referee
and Series Manager.
As members of the ATVPG (ATV Promoters Group),
Racer Productions and 4P Promotions host rounds
of the AMA/ATVA National Motocross Championships.
Racer Productions hosts the ATV Stampede at
High Point Raceway in Mount Morris, PA and
the ATV Dirt Days at Loretta Lynn’s
Ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN. Racer Productions
also hosted the first ATV Open this season
at Steel City Raceway in Delmont, PA, held
in conjunction with the AMA Toyota Motocross
Championships. The ATV Open marked the first
time ATV Pro Racing shared a national track
on a national weekend with its two-wheeled
brethren.

As one of the newest venues on the AMA/ATVA
national motocross circuit, 4P Promotions
hosted a national round at its Sunset Ridge
facility in Walnut, IL. For the ATV National,
4P Promotions teamed up with the professional
staff of Red Bud’s Amy Ritchie and crew.
In fact, this prestigious award was bestowed
on Red Bud MX in 2006, so the lessons learned
were clearly well-received by the staff of
4P Promotions.
“The 4P staff was great to work with
and really embraced the subtle differences
in prepping and maintaining a racetrack for
ATV’s as opposed to motorcycles,”
commented Amy Ritchie of Red Bud MX.
This season marked a pivotal year for ATV
racing, as ATVA moved the pro class to AMA
Pro Racing, issuing pro licenses for the first
time in history. In addition, for the first
time ever, the ITP/Moose Racing National Motocross
Champion, Joe Byrd, was recognized as part
of the AMA Pro Racing banquet Sunday night.
The 11-round 2008 ITP/Moose Racing AMA Pro
ATV Motocross season kicks off March 9th at
Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, CA.
The 10-round 2008 ATVA motocross series starts
March 29 & 30th at Mill Creek Raceway
in Pell City, AL. For more information about
