ADELANTO GRAND PRIX – PRESS RELEASE
February 14, 2010

After twenty-nine years of sun, rain, snow, dust, mud (lots of it), and a great relationship with the City of Adelanto, the Sheriff’s Department, the Fire Department, the Chamber of Commerce, our faithful vendors, and most of all, the wonderful racers and fans, the Desert Vipers Motorcycle Club has decided to announce an end to the wonderful event we all know as the Adelanto Grand Prix.  That’s right, the races next weekend, February 20th and 21st, the 30th Anniversary of this Legendary Event, will be the last.  It’s a bittersweet moment for our club, one that many of us could never have imagined several years ago when the race was in its heyday.  But the Great Recession has taken its toll on many good people, companies, and events, and this race will now be one of them.  It has become such a struggle to make ends meet that we felt we were losing too many of the great qualities that made this race such an event to be proud of.  So, from the bottom of our hearts, we say thank you for supporting us and we hope you enjoy the upcoming last weekend of racing at the Adelanto Grand Prix.
