Is ATV racing a sport? Many seem to think so, and if you are the owner of a four-wheeler and you’re passionate about racing, you should consider keeping tabs on the following events. Who knows when you might want to try something new and go see these races or even join them? We have listed some of the most popular races below.

In case you didn’t know, there are several types of associations that organize such races every year, and one of them is the All-Terrain Vehicle Association. The Grand National Cross Country is another one, and it usually takes places in some parts of the U.S. East coast.

ATVA series

There are two main events you should consider attending if you’re interested in those organized by the All-Terrain Vehicle Association. One of them is the Southern Challenge Series, which takes place in Texas. The neat thing about this one is that the participants are not required to have an STQRA membership, but it is mandatory for the collection of points and awards. All of the information regarding this race is available at the official website of the series.

The next event you ought to bear in mind is the ATVA Short Track National series. Compared to some of the others we have come across, this one is somewhat new. It includes ten classes, five of which are Open and two of which are specifically destined for youth. This competition is open to amateurs, pros, and pro-amateurs alike.

GNCC series

If you are looking for a somewhat challenging race, grab your good mud tires and join the Orange Crush, which happens in De Leon Springs, Florida. It’s the place where people go race with their ATVs when in the middle of winter, so you’re likely to enjoy all the perks of nice weather and even get to see some local attractions, while you’re in the area.

Both South and North Carolina organize their own ATV racing events. There’s the Big Buck in Union, South Carolina, and the Yadkin Valley Stomp in Yadkinville, North Carolina. These two are more or less similar to each other, but there are several differences. While the first happens in dense woods and wide-open fields, the second has a plethora of challenges available for participants, including going through an abandoned house.

The Nevada Passage Wide Open is usually organized at the beginning of the month of May in Winnemucca. It is a relatively new adventure race event compared to some of the others we have mentioned in this list. What seems to make the difference between this one and its counterparts is that it includes a wide array of competitions ranging from kayaking to mountain bike racing. It is a two-day event, and on the second day, participants are required to navigate their way through the Winnemucca Mountain.

The ATV MUD Nationals and the ATV Super Challenge Series are two other events you might not want to miss. The first traditionally takes place in remote areas of Texas, where competitors have the chance to drive through water and mud alike. As for the second, it includes a course consisting of anything from jumps to hills and stutter bumps.
