News and Events

For the last decade it’s been the most important ATV motocross series in the southwest U.S. It started out under the Quadcross moniker in 2003 but now goes by the name of Yamaha Quad-X Racing Series Presented By STI. It goes off for the 2013 season this coming weekend, March 17, at Glen Helen Raceway near San Bernardino, California. The Quad-X Series will continue for seven more events throughout the SoCal/Arizona region during the year and reach its conclusion back at Glen Helen for Round 8 on a Saturday in early November. As always, an extravagant (and free) awards banquet will take place immediately following that last day’s action. 

Minneapolis, March 11, 2013 - Thirteen side-by-sides, including Jagged X’s Matt Parks and Jason Spiess in their 1932 Jagged X/Polaris RZR XP 4 900, lined up for the first SCORE race of the season, the San Felipe 250. The race was the inaugural race for the “Pro UTV” class in the series and when the dust settled, Parks and Spiess would take the checkered flag and be one of only two side-by-sides to finish from the class. The San Felipe 250 is notorious for being the roughest race in North America with endless whoops, deep silt and rocky sand washes.  But after Parks did his pre-run, he knew that this would be a race of survival.  

(WEST FARGO, N.D. — March 7, 2013) Bobcat Company, a leader in compact equipment, is breaking new ground in the utility vehicle market with superior performance and productivity with the new 3600 and 3650 hydrostatic drive utility vehicles. Continuing a rich tradition of customer-driven advancements, the 3650 model will take attachment capabilities to a new level as the industry’s first utility vehicle with the capacity to operate front-mounted PTO attachments. Not only are the 3600 and 3650 hydrostatic drive utility vehicles designed to handle and haul more materials for grooming commercial buildings and grounds or maintaining personal properties, but they are the first utility vehicles in the Bobcat® lineup to offer cabs with heat and air conditioning. This will provide more comfort than a typical utility vehicle while transporting passengers and for completing multiple work tasks, such as hauling, mowing, sweeping and snow removal.
