some of our group will be down there for this one.  these people have a little bit of everything going on.  i spoke to the owner/event guy....he has spent a lot of money to make sure people are going to have a good time. he has a concert coming in on Sat night. he has Budweiser there,,,(plus)  he also has talked to some pretty big sponsors.  Should be a great event.

St Lucie Premier Productions LLC is putting it on.  Not sure if it's for awareness or pure money maker though.  Due to the name, I would guess money maker. 


Title: Re: Florida ATV Challenge Sept. 22nd & 23rd.
Post by: Bigscrb15 on September 10, 2007, 11:03:25 PM
It is a money maker, but hopefully they will see the money atvs can bring and do more for us.

I am just glad that someone is taking a chance with our sport and putting on different events.  Trying to promote it in a better light.  This is great PR for us......

I agree I hope the county commissioners see what comes in for this,,this money could have been coming into an atv park owned by the county next to the airport.

I hope he makes some money. I can tell you it is a small fortune for all the fees connected to the fair grounds, security etc. etc. plus all the building of the stuff.

I'd like to go to the obstacle course, but the only info I can get on it is a small picture of some other course I'm sure.

I'm gonna go but I might not have my quad with me.

I did not get any pictures of the open ride area in the back.  That was about wet!  People seemed to enjoy it.  I know I enjoyed Budweiser being there.  And Marble Slab ice cream hit the spot.  But most of all....I sure am enjoying these ribs from Nick's that I brought home.  Now, how to clean a greasy keyboard...  I have around 192 pictures, but I am just not up to resizing them all.

I had a good time today at the sled pulls, and the obstacle course....that mud was thick and nasty. The pulls were fun, and I managed to get 2nd place today. I have to go back again tomorrow for the finals ;D. The grass field was fun to play in also.. See ya in the A.M. ;)

Well string me up for having an opinion

Sounds like it was a good event.............all I was saying is it was pricey..........if it was closer i might have attended.............

What was the head count ?



Title: Re: Florida ATV Challenge Sept. 22nd & 23rd.
Post by: East Coast Dirty Girls on September 24, 2007, 05:16:34 PM
the head count was not what it should have been.  There should have been people trying to support this event due to the fact someone took a chance.  We drove down Friday, set up and had a blast on SAT, we left around noon on SUnday because we have a LONG DRIVE HOME ourselves.  Plus i tore up my bike in the mud pit they opened in the back...that was great.  Not many made it out of the canal part.  Phsycoward......pleasure meeting you, hope you enjoy the calendars and great job in the pulls.  Next time i will race you through the course seeing how we both made it through the end.....lol

FYI to negative people....these people spent ALOT of money to make sure that the event was successful and in speaking to them months ago they did not do it to make money they wanted for everyone to  have a great time.  They got the best of everything to ensure that people would want to come back. 

I hope they do another one but would not blame them if not.  I will support them 100%  becuase of the fact they did everything geared towards the family and towards the pure love of the sport!
