White Bear Lake, MN (8/24/2006)
- The WPSA PowerSports ATV Tour will
run 10 races at eight venues during the 2007
Championship Season. In addition, the Tour will
kick off 2007 with a four-race "Spring
Training 2007" schedule at tracks in Oklahoma,
Florida, Georgia and Virginia.
Due to the overwhelming success of last weekend's
season finale at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park,
the Tour will bookend its national schedule with events
at the New Jersey track. The schedule features several
other tracks from the 2006 season, as well as a few
additions. The Tour will continue to race throughout
the Midwest, Southeast and Northeast.
"We're pleased to announce our 2007 schedule,
which will showcase some of the top venues in major
markets throughout the United States," said PowerSports
Entertainment, Inc. CEO Rick Murphy. "This schedule
features some of this nation's top ATV racing facilities
and continues to place the PowerSports ATV Tour in
key markets."
The pre-season schedule represents a first in professional
ATV racing, and will allow all racers the ability
to participate in important pre-season practice. Spring
Training 2007 is open to all racers.
"Spring Training 2007 will allow our racers,
teams, and fans the unique opportunity to compete
on championship-level tracks, without being concerned
about points," said Murphy. "This makes
for an important addition to our schedule, giving
the fans a sneak preview of the Tour, and our riders
practice coming into the National Tour."
Spring Training 2007 starts Feb. 17-18 in Stillwater,
Okla., followed by events in Waldo, Fla. March 3-4;
at a yet-to-be-named venue in Georgia March 24-25;
and finishing up at Virginia Motorsports Park outside

Another double championship event in the upper Midwest
