Bark River Info/MORR Contingency Update

Appleton, WI (July 6, 2010) - Last Friday evening, Pat Flanagan and Dan Vanden Heuvel brought five MORR member race vehicles to the weekly circle track program at the Oshkosh Speedzone to promote the upcoming PRO/Sportsman Traxxas TORC series presented by AMSOIL off-road event

Representing the various Sportsman classes was:
#90 - Matt Gerald, Super Buggy
#402 - Dennis Bruskewitz, Formula 4x4.
#502 - Ryan Rebman, Enduro Truck
#833 - Nick Byng, Super Stock Truck
#299 - Mike Vanden Heuvel, Limited 2 Truck

Along with Pat and Dan, several other MORR members were on hand, answering questions and passing out flyers about the upcoming off-road event held July 23 -24.Ryan Rebman had his Enduro Truck teched by the circle track officials and raced in one of the Street Stock heat races. Then during intermission Ryan ran more laps as Mike Vanden Heuvel chased him down in his Limited 2 Chevy truck.

"If the reaction from the circle track fans were any indication of how popular off-road racing is in the Fox Valley, the TORC event should be a sellout," exclaimed Kaiko Motorsports team owner, Don Kohler.

If you are in the Fox Valley area in the coming weeks, look and listen for the radio and television commercials promoting the PRO/Sportsman Traxxas TORC series presented by AMSOIL off-road event.

The next few weekends Dan Vanden Heuvel will coordinate more off-road exhibitions at the circle track races. Interested racers and volunteers can contact Dan for more information @ 920-915-8777.

Again thanks to all that came out to lend a hand promoting the most extreme form of motorsports, Short-Course Off-Road Racing!! - www.oshkoshoffroad.com
