2021 Area BFE Beatdown 4900 UTV Class Highlights

The fastest growing class in ULTRA4 Racing is the Can-Am Offroad 4900 UTV class. Competition is fierce within this group, with a mix of skilled professional drivers and first-time racers getting involved in the sport.

ULTRA4 offers a “First Round on Us” promotion that waives the entry fees for first time drivers. Often the 4900 UTV class is the entry point to test the waters.

Racing consisted of drivers who pushed too hard in qualifying and taking a spill rocketing to the front of the pack within the first lap mixed with those working out their plan.

Intense, edgy, and with vehicles well adapted to this terrain, the victory went to birthday boy Mark Welch, earning his first ULTRA4 Racing victory. Always ultra-competitive Jacob Versey was second, and pole sitter Josh Smith finished 3rd.
