    ULTRA4s are Heading to Dirty Turtle Off Road Park in July

    BEDFORD, KY: May 13th, 2016:  The third and final race in the ULTRA4 4WD Hardware Eastern Regional Series is moving locations from Sturgis, KY to Dirty Turtle Off Road Park in Bedford, KY. The race dates of July 29th and 30th will remain the same.   Upon learning that the Sturgis, KY location was no longer an option, Dave Cole consulted with several parks in the region. and with East Coast teams at last weekend’s ULTRA4 race in Hot Springs, AR. After careful consideration of location, course and facilities, the Dirty Turtle Off Road Park was selected as an ideal location for an ULTRA4 race.

    ULTRA4s are heading Back to Arkansas!

    The Hot Springs ORV Park is a favorite among fans and drivers who love challenging rock sections. Seveal drivers have commented on the fact that Arkansas is the most “KOH” like of any of the rocks we see throughout the season!  Drivers should expect a tough course that is approximately 7 miles long! We will have limited and 4400s running together with UTVs running a separate morning race.
