The Badlands Off-Road Park is hosting TREC (Trail Racing Endurance Circuit) Racing again for 2010.
There is a website for it at http://www.trecwithus.com/, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity there.

'Class C' will allow Ranger/Bronco II owners to run with Factory Ranger axles and use up a 5-inch aftermarket suspension kit. No extended radius arms. Brackets have to be in the OEM position.
'Class B' would allow you to use other axles and extended radius arms, but you could find yourself up against someone with 1-ton axles & a V-8.
Also, class B & C is limited to 35-inch tires.
Here is a tentative schedule for 2010:
April 10, 2010
May 15, 2010
June 5, 2010

Here are the classes:TREC is Trail Racing Endurance Circuit a.k.a. FOOT TO THE FLOOR - AVOID THAT TREE - FLY THROUGH THE AIR - KEEP IT ON AT LEAST TWO WHEELS RACE!
TREC transforms the average Saturday trail ride (traveling less than five miles per hour) to a race over the mountains, through the woods and across the awesome dunes of Badlands Off Road Park at redline speeds!
TREC is about endurance not the difficulty of an obstacle. A 12+ mile course has been designed at the Badlands Off Road Park in Attica, IN. This course will encompass everything a normal slow trail ride has such as rocks, hills, mud, sand etc. but now speed has been incorporated into the competition! The Badlands has the unique ability to offer a small scale desert-style race and dense woods that will maximize the thrill and offer even more excitement!
TREC will have four evening races at The Badlands Off-Road Park. The races will last approximately two hours and take place after the Park closes. TREC will have multiple vehicles at one time starting in staged starts and racers will have two classes to choose from to accommodate different vehicles.
As Fall approaches the races will drive into the moonlight and the fourth and final event of the season will include the most exhilarating element – darkness!
TREC will be open to adapted full body trail vehicles and buggy type vehicles with an affordable entry fee. Specific information on classes and registration can soon be found on www.TRECwithus.com.
