Spring Fling 2008 Event Information

 

    Hopefully everyone has survived our long cold and snowy Midwestern Winter and is ready to break out their ATVs for the upcoming riding season! 

   The MBAC has a number of major changes for our 2008 season. So please take a couple minutes to look over the following information.       

   The core membership of the MBAC has decided to only hold one event in 2008. There are number of issues that will need to be addressed before the MBAC can return to have two event in 2009.

   The MBAC would like to remind our participants without the support of our sponsors, this event would never happen. Please remember when it comes time to purchase a new ATV, accessories or services for your motor sport needs that you choose the sponsors that help support area events and clubs.

New Downloadable Release forms for Under 18 Participants!

    As a reminder the MBAC still requires both parents to be present at registration to sign the necessary release forms in front of one of our members. The MBAC may also request parents to show ID confirming their signature(s). With the number of under age 18 participants growing we have found ourselves at greater risk and must take the necessary precautions to protect both our Event and the MBAC. Parents can still fill out the release forms prior to race day.  We only require the signature portion be signed at event time. If one or both under age 18 participant’s parents will not be able to attend our event, we still request a signed and notarized release form be presented at registration. Under age 18 participants are required to have a separate release form for each of the 4 events in which they are participating. We now have a new easier release form that can be downloaded here:  New Release Form  Our insurance providers will now allow us to both copy and Fax release forms if needed. You can e-mail or call us with your address and if needed we will mail out or Fax the requested number of release forms ASAP! Please plan ahead and have your release forms ready to avoid running out of time before the event.

Dirt Drags

  For the Spring Fling the MBAC has made a number changes to our list of Dirt Drag Classes. Our hope is to stay with the main reason we started our event over 9 years ago, with the Trail Rider in mind. Over the years we have see this event and the sport change in many ways. The number of race only ATVs has grown and the manufactures themselves have developed more performance minded ATVs. The changes made in our class list will hopefully bridge the gap between the rider and racer.

   With the confusion for some of our younger participants the decision was made to allow our Dirt Drag Class #1 (0-50cc 2 & 4 Stroke ATV) to run the full 300’ instead of 150’ as in the past. This decision should not affect the over all run time of our event because we will not need to reset the track sensors after that class. 

  Due to the increase cost to operate our event for the first time in the history of the MBAC we have found ourselves at a point that we must increase the fees for our Dirt Drags. The entry fee for your first class in our Drags will now be $20.00. Your second class entry fee with the same ATV will remaining at $10.00 as in the past.   

   The core members of the MBAC have decided that full stock exhaust systems including spark arresters and closed air boxes will be required to participate in our Stock listed Classes, even if you are bumping up into a larger displacement Stock class. It has become apparent that allowing non-spark arrested exhaust and open air boxes in our Stock classes has open the flood gates to those participants who feel the need to run modified ATVs in our Stock Classes to win a $18.00 trophy. A new class description of Trail Mod was developed to help close the gap between our racer and rider participants. This class is much like our old Mod. Classes, but does not allow lowering of the ATV. Our new listed Mod. Classes now allow extended swing arms to be run for those racer/riders that have invested enough time and money in their more race orientated ATVs. With the even higher number of 450 production ATVs on the market the MBAC has decided to move the 450 ATVs into classes of their own.  Our hope is to open the doors for the return of the 500 to 700cc ATVs to the past 450 dominated classes. We have also separated our Open Classes into 2 and 4 stroke to help level out the playing field. For those heavy hitters looking to go for the gold we have a new Open High Roller Class with a $50.00 entry fee with an 80% payback winner take all!    

  The New Dirt Drag Classes and class descriptions are located on this site in the Event Detail link.     

You may also request a copy of both though the mail by sending us your home address either to our e-mail addresses atv4ever@ticon.net.

OMF Off-Road Challenge

   The MBAC will offer the standard courses along with an Advance Off-Road Challenge Course as we did for our past events. You must be 16 years or older and anyone under 18 years old must have a release form filled out and signed by both parents to participate in the advance course.       

   If the MBAC feels that at anytime a rider maybe under sized for a machine, or may not be able to handle the machine effectively, the rider may not be allowed to participate in any event.

  As with our Dirt Drags the MBAC has increased it fees for the standard Off-Road Course. Fees will be increased by $5.00 bring the cost of a single run to $10.00 and the cost for 3 runs to $15.00. This increase will only affect the regular Off-Road Course.

  Once again OMF has come on board to be the full sponsor of our Off-Road Challenge. OMF has again promised to provide us with a number of $100.00 gift certificate to be awarded to the winners of Advance Off-Road Course.  I am assured that Todd and his crew will make their Advance course memorable!   

Latest Update for the Advance Off-Road Challenge

 Jim Kane the winner of both the Spring Fling and Fudd Run of 2007 Utility Class in our Advance Off- Road Course has donated back both his OMF Gift Certificates for a $100.00 each to the Advance Course. Which now puts the total amount of certificates at $400.00. Todd and his Off-Road Challenge crew would like Jim for his donation and look forward to seeing him at our possible future events.  Jim also participated in our Dirt Drags on his Super Mod 4x4 Polaris pictures below.

 

 

Mud Bog

   The Fees, Classes and rules will remain the same for the MBAC Monster Mud Bog as they were for our Fudd Run 2007.  First and Second Place winners will once again receive cash paybacks with third to receive a trophy. Peewee Classes will remain the same with trophies for all three places.

   The Side-by-Side Double Elimination Mud Drags have also returned for 2008. With cash paybacks and third place trophies.

     Registration times for the Bogs have been changed and will be from 8:00am to 11:00am, with Bogs starting at 11:30am.

Terminator ATV Pulls

   At this time A+ Power Sports plans on returning with their Terminator Pulling Sled. For information on Weight Classes and rules contact A+ at (262) 723-8822.

Don’t Forget!

        As always we will have local law enforcement on hand at our event. Please obey all of our Event Area Rules or you will be asked to leave without refunds! You will be responsible for any fines or tickets issued either from the DNR or local law enforcement.

   We have no changes yet in the under age 12 participating in a race event on an ATV (DNR rule). Meaning that you should remember to alter your Minis to be wider then 48” for under age 12 racers. You can alter your Minis either with a pool floaties or by some other means. The MBAC will not require you to alter your child’s ATV, but should the DNR issue you a ticket or fine you will be responsible for paying those fines.

 The Future of this Event is still in your Hands!

      The MBAC is seeking your help to keep our event going and growing. We are in need of manpower to help prepare and run our events. If you would like to earn race credits or receive a free event T-shirt, you can come out and help us get ready for our Spring Fling 2008 Event. Any volunteer that participates in one 3 to 5 hour work day and also volunteers and helps for at least 3 hours on event day will be considered a core member and will have a voice and vote on future MBAC issues. Please make sure to contact a MBAC member on the days that you volunteer to log your time and have your name and address added to our core member list.

 

The MBAC workdays are as follows:

Saturday April 19th  (Fencing along with Event Grounds clean up)

   If you are unable to attend any of our workdays you can still help keep our event going. The MBAC is asking all of our participants to help locate more sponsors for our events. The MBAC has sent out sponsorship information to all of the dealers and shops in the state line area.  We have made a number of calls to these dealers and shops, but have not received much response.  We feel with your help we can encourage these potential new sponsors our event is worth investing in. Please take the time to stop by your local ATV & Motorcycle dealers and shops, and see if they are a part of the event that you enjoy and use your OHV. If they are already sponsoring our events, thank them and let them know you appreciate their support!  If a dealer or shop owner has not received sponsorship information from the MBAC they can contact us through any of the numbers or E-mails below.  A few minutes at your local dealer could make all the difference in the future of our events!
