July 31st will be the last day to sign up for the 2008 $100,000 Quad-sa-tion, at $1,000. After August 1st sign up will be $1,500. This is being done to encourage riders to sign up early so that Route 66 knows there will be a show.

The staff has secured SPEED TV to televise the event and has corporate sponsors online to advertise. But they are not willing to get themselves into the same situation that WPSA did by promising numbers without riders committing to supporting the event.

The results are quiet simple, NOT ENOUGH RIDERS = NO RACE!!! Route 66 has informed me that if we don't have riders pre register then the event will be cancelled due to lack of interest. Presently we have had a few riders to pre-enter but we are in need of a lot more. I've had riders from all over the country email me and call me asking questions and say they were coming, but until you get the completed registration form it doesn't mean much.

Some have questioned if this was a scam, said they weren't going to sign up early for fear it would be cancelled and they wouldn't get there money back. Trust me guys, this facility is owned by International Speedway Corporation, the same family and company that owns NASCAR, the last thing they need is your $1,000. If the event were to be cancelled then your money would be sent back immediately, and if you put your credit card info on there they would simply not bother to charge it, if you card gets charged then the event will happen. What they do need however, is your commitment to being there. They are not wiling to risk the relationships with their closely guarded friendships with their sponsors and TV contacts for a very risky venture into ATV racing. They said they would help us if we would pre-register, they have done their part and they are asking for us to do ours.

Almost everything is lined up for the event to take place, Track design is completed and construction is scheduled, insurance forms are filled out and waiting to be mailed, trophies have been designed, staff has been lined up, race format is laided out, industry media coverage is lined up, amateur flyer's are designed and waiting to be mailed, etc. Everything except the riders for the main event. So it is up to you, as a rider and supporter of this sport the question is simple. DO YOU WANT THIS EVENT TO TAKE PLACE?

Email or call me and let me know if you plan to attend and request a registration form for the WORLD'S RICHEST QUAD RACE! Do it today, time is running out!!!

Maybe its just real late and I dont know what Im talking about or maybe I missed something.
But, you may have issues with clarity a little. So let me ask a few questions.

Is this race TT, MX, Both, one single 2 heat race, a 2 day multi style format, etc;

Lets say that I send you $1000 (which i wont do because im slow), sign up, and show up.
Do I race a couple of heats, win the race and get paid?

Its like, "hey guys. I got this huge race and I want you guys to send me $1000 and show up and race. Great! Ill see you guys when you get here!"

I appologize for the confusion RTR_380/450R, I thought the race format was explained on the webiste. The race course will be a Mickey Thompson style course with a hard packed surface with table top jumps, berm turns, and option lane sections. So to make a decision on TT or MX, I would say some of each. I think TT tires would be a hot setup and so would a long travel fornt end. It's really up to the rider to pick what's best for him.

As for the race format, did you look at the website? Go to www.quad-sa-tion.com. It'll explain in detail the race format and how we plan to get to the fastest 20 riders. Each rider would have as many as 6 opportunities to get into the "A" main.

I hope this answered your questions.

 

********** MEDIA ADVISORY **********

Due to a very low level of rider pre-registrations, The 2008 $100,000 Quad-sa-tion Event scheduled for September 13, 2008 at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, IL has been cancelled.
*************************************************************
Due to the lack of rider entries for the 2008 $100,000 Quad-sa-tion event, Route 66 Raceway and the NQRA feel they did not have the level of commitment from the racers that was needed to fully commit to sponsor and television obligations. 

A rescheduled date is being looked at for September of 2009 so it will not interfere with the AMA/ATVA’s schedules. This is being done in hopes of not giving up on the idea of the greatest event in ATV Racing history.

With all the negative attention surrounding the collapse of the WPSA, the national economy, and ridicules fuel prices, the staff at Route 66 Raceway has decided to focus on a positive outlook for 2009 and push to give the entire industry plenty of time to make plans and preparations for next year’s event.

We appreciate the racers who signed up for the 2008 Quad-sa-tion event and as a special “thank you” they will receive a discount for the 2009 event.
