Pala Raceway

UTVUnderground.com is working together with Pala Raceway www.PalaRaceway.com and other top sponsors to bring the 1st SXS Holiday Grand Prix race to the NEW Pala Raceway!  All UTV’s are welcome to participate and organizers are encouraging enthusiasts and racers to bring out their stock and modified machines to come race in whats sure to be a great event for everyone.
Show room floor stock, 4 seat family style, and fully built race UTV’s will make up the field of this one of a kind race!  Being dubbed a True GP race, classes are divided up into 4 classes and all will be on the track at the same time.  Unlike standard race formats that consist of an equal amount of laps to be completed by all in participation, the GP style format leaves competitors to see how many laps they can complete in a 1 hour time limit.
Volunteer score keepers will be keeping count of laps and check points ensuring a fair and competitive event for all.  Blending Off Road with Moto Cross the Pala GP course will incorporate natural off road terrain as well as run into some of the built up UTV/ATV MX style track.
We welcome you to get the UTV out of the garage, load up the family, and come on out for the 1st Pala Raceway Holiday GP!!
Pala Raceway is tucked away in the hills of North County San Diego, CA and is becoming home to top Moto Cross and Super Cross riders.  Equipped with ATV and UTV MX style tracks Pala Raceway is the premier MX facility in Southern California. www.PalaRaceway.com
