With a lack of ATV specific events existing in Australia, 47 ran the first 'Thumb Pump 300' race in April 08. Over time this event has evolved into the Thumb Pump ATV Festival, Australia's biggest ATV event which takes place every Easter at the purpose built facility just out of Pinnaroo, SA. The festival consists of a 300km 2 day race (the original Thumb Pump 300), a 100km night race (the Highbeam 100) and sand drags, with other classes and events coming on line every year.

The track for the main senior 300km event remains largely unchanged from year to year with everything from flat out top gear straights along established tracks, to tight, winding scrub trails through the brush and tough sandy hill climbs to test the competitors.

The Thumb Pump 300 has the richest prize purse of and ATV race in Australia, with tens of thousands of dollars worth of cash and prizes being handed out every year to class winners and place getters, plus every rider always receives a TP300 t-shirt and one of the famous Thumb Pump 300 Race Plaques, as a memento of the event.

So if you want to be part of the biggest ATV event in Australia, make sure you pencil in Easter on your calender and start your training now...you're gonna need it!
