DIRT RIOT 4×4 Endurance Racing Kicks Off Southeast Series at Durhamtown Plantation in Georgia

03/23/2014

BLACKFOOT, ID – The Dirt Riot Southeast Series will start its’ second season at Durhamtown Plantation in Union Point, Georgia with professional and sportsman drivers joining in on the horsepower of fun. Racing starts at 9 am and will go on until at least 3 pm with awards immediately following. “Opening up this Southeast series was a great idea. This will be the second year that we have brought the Dirt Riot series to the Southeast region and we are excited to see the growth of drivers,” said Rich Klein, President, and founder of W.E. Rock Events. “We know of a number of new cars that have been built and drivers that will be coming out to join the Dirt Riot family for their first event.”


Local UTV and 4×4 Sportsman drivers are encouraged to join in on the racing fun. With only some simple safety requirements, anyone is able to come and race!

The course will be almost the same as last year; approximately 5 miles of varying racing terrain. The race starts with a high-speed run into an area with three big motocross-style jumps or rollers. The course continues out into a GP/Crandon-style track. Next, it goes off into a big red dirt bowl with steep sides, which you climb out into the woods. High-speed road sections lead to some technical twisty turns and then into a rocky creek bed for the Pro Classes; the UTVs and Sportsman classes will bypass the creek bed. The course continues to moderate speed areas that have been widened into more technical roads, and then out to a run alongside the main paved road before coming back to the start/finish line. It will be easy enough for UTV’s and Stock 4×4 participants to have fun, but tough enough for the Pro 4400 cars to be challenged. The winners of each class are determined by the most number of laps completed in the set amount of time.

Spectators are encouraged to come and enjoy the day of entertainment on Saturday, March 29th. Admission is $15 for adults, $5 for ages 8-15, children 7 and under free, and Military with ID get $5 off. There are vendors, food, and amenities on-site, and fans are encouraged to bring chairs and shade structures.
