Sparks, Nev., July 5, 2011 – The Valley Off Road Racing Association announced today that Master Pull, the world leader in synthetic ropes and recovery gear for off road, military and commercial fishing, has signed on as title sponsor of the July 14-17 USA 500 in Sparks, Nevada.
The four-day event will be called the “Master Pull USA 500” and include static vehicle exhibits, driver autograph sessions, tech and contingency in downtown Sparks, live music, motocross demonstrations including riders from the Metal Mulisha, the area’s first outdoor enduro-cross time trial, a 529-mile off road race on Saturday, July 16 and a 219-mile motorcycle race on Sunday, July 17.
“We want this to be a ‘must do’ race for off road racers around the U.S. and provide maximum exposure and interaction with the public,” said VORRA Race Director Wes Harbor. “Master Pull shares our vision for creating something new and exciting and we’re proud to have them on board as title sponsor.”
In addition to serving as title sponsor, Master Pull will be demonstrating their products with the enduro-cross course and rock crawling exhibitions in Victorian Square. They will also unveil the newest Master Pull Recovery Vehicle.
“The USA 500 is the perfect race for us and in VORRA we’ve found an ideal teammate,” said Master Pull Off-Road Director Alex Riedo. “Although we sponsor several racing vehicles including the Hall Racing USA Rally Truck, and have provided equipment and recovery support to events such as King of the Hammers, we’ve been searching for an organization and event that mirrors the quality and professionalism of our product line. VORRA’s innovative approach to off-road racing is setting them apart in the sport as is the excellent value they provide their racers.”
