Meet Dirt Prodigies Racing
Dirt Prodigies is an off-road race team that competes in a variety of off-road racing events around Southeastern Ohio. They compete in two main racing series, GNCC and WEXCR.
The group prides itself on being not only excellent riders, but also excellent students and welcoming community members. They help other riders in need and enjoy making new friends.
Dirt Prodigies stemmed from a realization that there were kids in the area with a high talent level who needed additional recognition. The parents and kids got together and decided they could work together as a team to market themselves as a group, while highlighting individual racers, as well. The ultimate goal of the group is to get noticed on a national level and get picked up by a bigger team that will allow them to use Dirt Prodigies as a minor league program. They have a vision to bring in local riders who want to stay true to their roots and to continue bringing off-road racers in from their area.
