Atlantic Grand Prix News

2009 Atlantic Grand Prix
Cross Country series
is on hold until farther notice.

I know this is going to be a let down to many who count on the AGP events for their racing and recreational trail riding both in the region as well as here in New Jersey, but with everything AGP has going on right now, we’re just going to have to put the AGP series on hold until farther notice.

This wasn’t an easy decision, but there are a lot of things going on right now and with land permission, permits, community approvals and all the other stuff it takes to put on the events we just don’t have the time and resource to do it right, especially with the OHV park project which we've been working on for close to 2 years now.

As I said this wasn’t an easy decision, because many of you who have helped the AGP series grow and who are our friends are now going to have to find other safe and legal venues to recreate at in a region where there are few..

Not just that, but by putting the AGP series on hold many of those in the hosting communities who count on the Atlantic Grand Prix series of events for their fund raising as well as local businesses who benefit from the AGP events are also going to be impacted.

On top of that the Atlantic Grand Prix series has been instrumental at helping local communities get a lot of their unlawful off-highway issues under control by providing local residents safe and environmentally regulated venues.

Currently AGPs focus is on the OHV park project, and hopefully we’ll be able to continue to build on what AGP started four years ago by providing the community and the riders a safe, environmentally friendly OHV recreation that’s going to make everyone's within the communities life much better.

Support the sponsors of the Atlantic Grand Prix series...
who are looking out for the future of our sport.
As I'm sure everyone knows... running an off-road series takes a lot of resources, energy, time and money. The cost alone to run events here in New Jersey is easily double or triple of what it is in other states, but at the same time Atlantic Grand Prix believes in the Garden State as well as the entire Philadelphia and New York region. Our goal all along, has to been to provide some of the best safe, legal, riding and racing for the off-road enthusiast as well as their families and friends. So what were asking from you... is to support the companies and business that are actively looking out for your future to ride. These sponsors are looking out for the future of the sport: Atlantic Grand Prix Sponsors!

For 2009 Machine sound levels cannot exceed
AMA/ATVA 99 dbs which is the same as GNCC Racing.
Everyone knows... Sound kills! More land has been lost because of excessive sound than any other factor out there! If we want place to ride we have to bring our sound levels down. So for 2009 Atlantic Grand Prix will be testing for sound and you will need to pass a sound test before you can go to the starting line! If your machine is deemed loud during the race we will test you at the finish as well.

Just to give everyone an idea of where the 2008 Sport ATVs TESTED STOCK..
This is from the February issue of ATV Sport magazine:
88 dB 2008 Yamaha YFZ 450
88 dB 2008 Honda TRX 450
89 dB 2008 Kawasaki KFX 450
89 dB 2008 Can-Am DR 450
90 dB 2008 Suzuki LT-R 450
92 dB 2008 KTM 450 XC
92 dB 2008 Polaris Outlaw 450

2007 ATLANTIC GRAND PRIX AWARDS BANQUET IS A
HUGE SUCCESS AND WE'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT AND SUPPORTED US IN 2007!

The 2007 Atlantic Grand Prix Awards Banquet was another great AGP event as always. Turn out was greater than expected, but the evening was still one to be remembered. The event was at the Wyndham Hotel in Mt Laurel, NJ. Again I'd like to thank all the families as well as the riders for making this series what it is. I'd also like to say that the Atlantic Grand Prix is the only regional series that raised over $70,000 for charities and non-profits in 2007. All this so that you the rider have a place to ride in the future, again thanks to all the riders, their families and the kids that came out and 2008 is looking really great!
