Iowa ATV Hare Scramble Series 2008 Race Season Preview
Montezuma, IA (4/18/2008) - The Iowa ATV Hare Scramble Series (IATVHSS) will kick off its 5th season on April 19th-20th with one new facility added to the roster, a new class for beginners, and they have also added several new sponsors.
According to series promoter, Andy Kyner, this year the growing series has added Hanson Hollows in Spragueville, IA to its list of hosting tracks. “We added Spragueville, in eastern Iowa, but we won’t be going to Waukon this year,” said Kyner. For the 2008 season there has been a new “1st Year Racer” class added to the line up in hopes of drawing in new participants. The series boasts 18 classes total that range from beginner to expert skill levels and age ranges of 4-50+ years old, so there is pretty much a class for every one.
Kyner indicated that the rules for the 2008 season are the same and that there is still a $500 purse up for grabs at each race for the winner of the AA Class as long as the class has a count of 10 or more riders.
This year in addition to returning sponsors such as Van Wall Motorsports and Hornung Cycle and Powersports, the IATVHSS also has several new sponsors including DMC Exhaust, Xtreme Charge, and Precision Racing Products. “We’re excited about the growing support that we have been getting. It really helps to keep things going for us,” stated Kyner. And keeping the series going and growing is what it’s all about for Kyner. “This year we handed out 125 new numbers,” said Andy. The addition of 125 racers would be a significant increase for the series as it had an average attendance of about 200 last year, representing eight different states.
Kyner anticipates that many of those added numbers will come in the form of kids and families since the series is known for being a kid-friendly, family oriented event. “We have several teams out there that have several generations of family all racing,” Kyner said proudly. “A lot of those families also dedicate a lot of time helping with the series, and we really couldn’t do it without them,” he concluded.
The season opener of the IATVHSS will be a special 2-day event held at Fun Valley in Montezuma, IA with motocross racing on Saturday and Hare Scrambles on Sunday. You can check out www.iatvhss.com for more information about the series and it’s 2008 schedule of events.
