Competition - Sanctioning
California City, CA – April 18, 2014 – Alta Vista Events (AVE) announced today the signing of a sanctioning agreement with the newly formed FORMULA UTV INTERNATIONAL (FUTVI) - COMPETITION - SANCTIONING, to sanction the remaining events in AVE’s PURE SXS OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES, which include the PURE “200†– June 27-29; the PURE “225†– August 8-9; and the double-points final event of the season the PURE ‘275†– October 17-19, 2014.
Formula UTV International or FUTVI will assume sanctioning of AVE’s remaining events since the ISA (International Side-x-Side Association) closed its doors recently and are no longer operating as a sanctioning body.
FUTVI’s Rule Book will be similar to the one that AVE has been racing during the first two events of their 2014 season but will feature several minor changes. The rule book is currently undergoing editing and should be available in the next few weeks.
Speaking with AVE’s, Lou Peralta, he stated, “It’s really too bad that the ISA closed its doors. They were extremely helpful to us when we first started thinking about promoting our PURE series. They provided us with lots of good input about the side-x-side sport of off-road racing. I especially wish to thank Mike Lasher, of SXS Performance, as he was instrumental in bringing us on board and last year was a great influence in bringing others into our series.â€
As stated, the FUTVI rule book is currently being amended and will be available in the next few weeks. AVE will soon post the new FUTVI rule book in its website - www.averacing.com - for everyone to download.
In the meantime, input from racers is being sought to help "fine-tune" the current FUTVI rules. Any ideas, comments or suggestions can be made to futvi14@yahoo.com as soon as possible before the book goes to print. Peralta was quick to add that any current memberships in the ISA will be honored to their expiration date. Racers need to bring a membership card or receipt of payment for the 2014 memberships.
FUTVI memberships are $25.00 for one year, which includes the new FUTVI Rule Book.
AVE also announced that the new entry form for the remaining three events in the PURE Series, beginning with the PURE “200,†will have a spot where to place your current FUTVI or ISA membership number as well as your radio frequency. The latter is to assist PCI Relay to get in touch with you or your team during the race.
