🔥 Ellis County Moto Rodeo🔥
Get ready, Ellis County — the engines are revving, the dirt is flying, and the Ellis County Moto Rodeo is about to light up the arena on July 16, 2026! This is the night where riders prove whether they’ve got the skills that bring the thrills, and trust us… the competition is going to be fierce.

Sponsored by Briney Motorsports, BOS Motorsports, and Xibit Customs, this high‑energy showdown brings together the boldest riders in four adrenaline‑pumping divisions: Open 2‑Wheel Drive Quad, Open Utility, Open Sport Side‑by‑Side, and Open Dirt Bike.

They’ll battle it out in classic arena challenges built for guts and glory — Barrels, Flag Grab, Half Lap, and the crowd‑favorite Figure 8. If you love speed, dust, and edge‑of‑your‑seat action, this is your night.

Competitors 14+ are welcome (ages 14–17 need a parental signature).
Entry is $30 per rider/vehicle, and pit passes are $25.

🕒 Event Schedule
Pit Gate Opens: 4:00 PM
