Still one of the coolest ATV races you can possibly enter or even spectate is the Too Much Fun Promotions La Playa Beach Race. Its a GP style run through the dunes and right down near the waters edge. The jumps are all natural and turns get very deep and fun like a worm track you might make at Glamis.

Located less than an hour south of the U.S Border, near San Diego is huge sand dune nestled between the Highway and the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The Cantamar Sand Dunes is just a few minutes south of the resort town of Rosarito.

For decades Armando Carrasco and his staff has been holding really cool events on this pile of sand that are just, well “Too Much Fun”. This season, has shad a great turn out in the six ATV classes which include, Vintage, Pro, Expert, Novice, beginner and Women’s. Rider’s from both side of the boarder have taken wins.

The next round (#4) is going to be held August 20th. Two additional rounds this season are scheduled for September 3rd and October 8th. To sign up and see more great events or cool photos from earlier races this season, check out https://www.facebook.com/toomuchfunpromotions/
