It was that time of year again, and luckily for us HighLifter extended the invitation to join them at Quadna Mountain Park to be part of the 2019 HighLifter Quadna Mud Nationals! Arriving in Hill City, Minnesota we got the opportunity to enjoy VIP day and the scheduled ride. We were excited to see what the rest of the 3 day total event held, with endless trail systems, an obstacle course, sled pull, mud bogs, a poker run, and nightly concerts. One of the Quadna Mountain Park owners Mark Warnert went out of his way to make sure ATV World Magazine had its own ride for the event. It was awesome meeting the variety of friendly people, and nice seeing so many families enjoying such a fun event. It took about a week to finally get all that mud washed out from behind our ears, and clothes back to their normal color, but you can bet we will be out there again next year!
It was bumper to bumper at the VIP Day RideWe’d like to applaud the individuals in charge of trail signage. It was impossible to get turned around.The best rides have the best sound systems and Rockford Fosgate RZR definitely could be heard from a far!Exclusive Club – All those that didn’t make it through the first day joined it!There are some great views to be had at the Quadna Mountain SummitHigh Lifter introduced their huge 44″ Magnum Outlaw 3 tire at the Quadna Mud NationalsThe first path cut through the obstacle course always sets the barIt’s all about balance on the seesaw, and we were shocked of how well this guy did with a loaded cooler sloshing aroundSome buggies were just more capable than others, and some just made a bigger messNot everyone made it through Mud Nats unscathed. Unfortunately some had to be pushed onto their trailersThe courses were awesome and laid out well which made for some great racingBelieve it or not, this guy didn’t win the raceThere was a lot of racing to take in!
