riverfront holeshot challenge

Riverfront Holeshot Challenge!  

Here’s how it works: two riders at a time will line up side-by-side on the start for a short, all-out sprint down the straightaway. When that flat comes up — it’s go time! It all comes down to reaction, traction, clutch control, throttle, and nerves of steel. First one to cross the finish line takes the win and moves on to the next round.

This is a head-to-head, single elimination bracket — winner advances, loser’s out — until we crown our first Riverfront Holeshot Champion! 

The best part? 

It’s open to everyone! Whether you’re a seasoned racer or just want to test your launch against your buddies, jump in — Thanks to the sponsors below entry is free!  Competition brackets are set by random draw. It’s all about bragging rights, fun, and seeing who’s got the quickest hands off the line.

So as the sun goes down and those lights come on, grab your friends, line up your bikes, and get ready for some high-speed, full-throttle action at the Riverfront Grand Prix Holeshot Challenge!

• Staging: Riders roll up to the start under lights, line up and kill their engines.
• Start Signal: A green flag waive starts the race.
• Launch: Riders explode off the line — it’s all about who reacts fastest, shifts cleanly, and keeps the front wheel down while maintaining traction.
• Finish: The first rider to cross the finish line banner wins that round and moves to the next.
• Bracket Style: The event will run on a tournament format — winners advance through rounds until only one remains, the Holeshot Champion.
