Bikini Bottoms Off Road Park hosts SRRS event
(Local News ~ 05/02/16)

Throughout the park, ATV enthusiasts rallied in anticipation of the event, applauding those brave enough to attempt to scale the park's massive, steep hills. With 6-10-inch-deep mud (even thicker in some places), those participating in the event were challenged, not only to climb the massive hills, but also to not get stuck in the process, with several drivers flipping backwards in the process and, in one instance, setting ablaze. Even those not participating in the hill-climbing competition faced the challenges presented by the deep mud, as many ATV drivers found themselves getting stuck in the mud while simply trying to navigate to various ends of the park.
