2024 is in the books and what a great year it was for producers and members alike.  DRTPA continues to strive to offer quality shows in a family friendly environment which we could not do without the continued support of our producers.  Thank you to each and every one of our producers for the work they do to keep this Association and our sport alive.  

The 2024 Finals were held at the Ike Hamilton Expo Center in West Monroe, Louisiana, December 5, – December 8, 2024.  Thanks to all the member participation throughout the year and at the 2024 Finals, the Board of Directors were able to award an unprecedented 90% payback at the Finals.  The 2024 Finals ran 1787 first go teams with paybacks and awards totaling $235,667.

Our Youth Auction raised $9,650, and our Senior Youth Calcutta raised $4,235, thanks to the donations made by our members and sponsors.  These funds will go towards youth awards at the 2025 Finals.  Youth riders do not have to qualify to ride in the youth classes at the Finals as long as their parent or guardian has met the qualifications to participate.

The Show Schedule for 2025 has been posted and will be updated as more shows are scheduled.  You can check it out  under Schedule of Events.   You only have to attend four (4) shows and ride a minimum of ten (10) times in each of the shows to qualify to participate in the 2025 DRTPA Finals.
