Dirt bike, ATV races at Pierce County Fair

High-flying, fast paced dirt bike and ATV racing will be featured as the preview show for the Pierce County Fair on Friday, July 27, at the Fairgrounds Grandstand in Ellsworth.

Local racers are invited to sign up for the races as young as four years old and as old as 50. Pit gates and sign up will open at 3 p.m., practice will start at 6 p.m. (for race entrants only), and the racing will start at 7 p.m.

A Supercross Race contains 21 different classes, five ATV classes and 16 dirt bike classes. The program consists of a heat race and a main event; and every person that signs up will race twice. The heat race determines what gate pick the rider gets for the main event; and the main event will determine what trophy the rider gets. There will also be an intermission race for pit bikes.
