All around the country the sport of quad racing is taking off. With the popularity of motocross the rough and rugged sport of tearing up a dirt track on an ATV is taking the nation by storm. For many weekend riders the ATV competitions are a chance to see the skills of a racing rider in action and possibly learn a few maneuvers that can be implemented the next time they are out blazing a trail. Of course the groomed trails and track of a dirt arena provide fewer rocks and shrubs that need to be avoided by the racer, but what is really thrilling is witnessing the 2 stroke porting of the vehicles that have been modified for the track.
Dressed in the safety pads and helmets that are found on the dirt bike circuit, the riders that mount an ATV put their personal safety ahead of everything else as they gear up for competition. Equipped with MX performance parts that deliver more horses and offer a better suspension many of the professional and amateur racing enthusiasts ride through the mud and dirt to victory with the stronger vehicles that are engineered to deliver more than the stock ATVs that are found out in the wilderness on the weekend. With the specialized race quad parts riders are able to take tighter turns and push the throttle to deliver more power to the engine. With different classes and divisions allowing riders of all ages to get out onto the track there are larger quads and mini quads that compete with the same size and class of vehicle that can deliver the high octane energy that brings out the crowds to watch and cheer for their favorite rider.
Off the track the owners of stock ATVs can find the same parts and accessories that are found on the modified quads that are tearing up the mud in arenas all across the country. With the addition of MX performance parts riders that are heading out into the desert or backcountry for some high powered excitement can find the thrill of their quad to be just as exciting as watching a professional race. Of course the difference is that there are not 20 other people all volleying for position out in the wilds, but that does not mean that the fun of riding a high powered quad is diminished by the lack of competition. Indeed it is not and as any rider can tell the more horses that are pushing the quad forward the better the ride and more entertaining the weekend is that is filled with racing energy.
