A
MA Motorcycle Hall of Fam-

as the director of operations for
the popular Adelanto Grand Prix.
"We're putting together an
all-star team of powersports
professionals and industry part-
ners to produce the iconic 2021
race festival," said Adelanto GP
Owner Darrel Courtney. "As a
former King of Adelanto and cov-
eted racecourse designer, Davis
delivers a sizzle to the scene
that ignites excitement in racers,
spectators and sponsors. We're
expanding spectating areas into
the desert, enhancing the event
layout and introducing popular
UTVs to the competitive lineup,"
Courtney said.
Coordinating with powers-
ports industry event organizers,
race organizers have identified
the January 8-10, 2021 weekend
for the 37th running of the race.
"I'm energized by the op-
portunity and the industry buzz
that has caught fire for the 2021
Adelanto Grand Prix," said
Davis. "We're looking to create
something sexy, from an epic
racecourse to industry involve-
ment of powerhouse brands
and icons. We're calling on
those connections and polish-
ing the concept of what this
festival truly is."
Davis says he envisions a
family-friendly event that honors
traditions and embraces the
excitement of industry trends,
world class competition and the
thriving popularity of UTV racing.
"This is the largest American
off-road race west of the Missis-
sippi River," said Davis. "There's
a reason why the factories and
industry legends are already
raising eyebrows and expressing
newfound interest. It's the fusion
of old school and new school,
the blend of fierce competition
with the fan-driven experience.
That's what we're all after." CN
Ty Davis will play
a major role in the
organization of
the 2021 Adelanto
