Event Details
The Monkey Butt Dirt Drags are the biggest event of their kind in the Midwest! Join racers and spectactors from all over to see how much fun it can be. We have dirt drag classes for every type of 4-wheeler (sorry, no 3-wheelers allowed). For the brave rider, we have a 100 ft. Mud Bog, which has stopped many machines. For the skill rider, we have the Off-Road Challenge, now with three separate courses. Post your times head-to-head with other riders to see who is the fastest through the course.
PLEASE NOTE: Each event may bring changes to the Rules and/or Classes. Any riders that plan to participate in the event should check these page in advance so you're not caught off-guard the day of the event. All recent changes are noticeably marked.
The event is held at our usual location at the corner of Townline Rd and Vickerman Rd between Milton, WI and Janesville, WI. Take Townline Road east from Hwy 26 north of Janesville, and follow the signs to the event grounds.
