For the past 3 years the Fair in partnership with the Reading R.A.T.S. ATV Club hosted an ATV Obstacle Course which was a great success. This year it is back again and will span both days of the fair: Saturday and Sunday July 7th and 8th at Barlow’s Field in Springfield.
Registration for the competition starts at 9 a.m. on both days in the upper field of the fairgrounds. Competition will start at 1 p.m. on Saturday and at 12 p.m. on Sunday. Each day will feature 4 classes: 2 Wheel Drive 399cc and Under; 2 Wheel Drive 400cc and over; 4 Wheel Drive 0 – 500cc; and4 Wheel Drive 501cc and over.
Anyone may participate if they are at least 18 years of age (proof of age required). All participants must wear a helmet and safety gear. This is a ‘bring your own ATV course’. Participants will need to pay the $7.00 fee for the fair and a $10.00 entry fee for the competition itself. The fun lasts until all the competitors have run the course. The competition is an electronically timed course using “port-a-tree” timing system and trophies will be awards for the top three finishers in each class.
Mark Bushway Construction and Gurney Brothers Construction are supplying materials for the construction of the course. The use of the Port-a-Tree is being donated by Spaulding’s Service Station.
