Southern Missouri Off-road Ranch in Seymour Missouri to host the final stop in theUltra4 International Endurance Championship.
Mixing beauty with some of the worst terrain yet in the IEC, Ultra4 racers will blaze through trails once reserved for The James Gang The final stop in the Ultra4 International Endurance Championship, July 10th, 2010, will welcome home the local favorite Derek West in the points lead for the series win. Racers will leave the line in a blaze of glory to tackle the 90-plus mile course with an assortment of rocks as varied as the teams themselves. “I have a sick course laid out for them; they may hate me for it!” said Brandon Powell SMORR co-owner. The race will start with nearly a mile of the fastest terrain in the park, but will degenerate quickly from there as the teams run through rock filled creek beds, climb waterfalls, run up vertical climbs of shale, and of course, contend with the trees. The IEC point’s race is extremely close coming into the third event, and it is still anyone’s race. Loren Healy 2010 KOH winner, is running second, but is followed by a host of teams looking to capitalize on a win. In addition the SMORR Ultra4 race is a qualifier for the 2011 King of the Hammers. Teams not currently qualified will have a chance to earn a spot in what has become the biggest race in Rocksports. And if that is not enough a number of teams will be looking to gain enough points in the IEC to qualify that way. The SMORR event is expected to attract a large field of racers, and the park is well suited for it.
The Southern Missouri Off-Road Ranch is extremely family friendly and spectators are encouraged to attend the event. Entry is $7.00 for adults, teens are $3.00 and kids under 5 are free. There is also a very nice camping area at the park with limited spots with electrical hookups, onsite dump station, top notch bath and shower facilities, and plenty of primitive camping. Camping prices range from $7.00 a night to $20.00 and hook up sites are limited. Please contact: Kayla Jackson (misskayla@smorr.net) for additional camping information.
