I agree with everyone, Reid, your witty knowledge is both informative and very educational. I don't have a race team yet, but I was planning on trying to get a rig built next season and really value your insight. It's also nice to see that you post not only your personal wins, but also your...

I cant believe that I didnt think about the HAZ(heat affected zone). I suppose I wanted the procedure to be ok. LOL in a perfect world. Although I think the weld itself would probably be fine I agree that a failure would occur in the HAZ. Oh well, was a thought, but thanks for the information...

Wonder how much weight you could've saved on the cage build by going with all TIG welded joints? From my experience in refineries/chemical plants/ power houses mig isn't greatly relied on, well as far as field welding. It's takes too much preparation and if there is the slightest bit of...

I saw you posted on blue coyote that if you are planning to race the MAV you qualify for a $1500 discount. Is there some type of code or something I need, or just tell the dealer??

So if the 2seater is too short(84" or 88" on 2015) of a wheelbase and the 4seater is too long(113") wheelbase, what is the proverbial magic wheelbase? Rules side note. When I read the score rules it said you can add 8", so is that a + or -? Just still trying to gather info so I can get...

Lots beautiful welds but I keep seeing a lot of welds being stopped at the end/corner of a gusset or other type of weldment. That's not a structurally sound way to terminate your weld. You would want to try to completely wrap the corner so you don't stop your puddle on a corner. If you can't...

any input on 2door over 4door?

Still havent found a 2door vs 4door thread. Thats pretty much my last question. Think I am going to stick with CAN AM.

Near Chicago, IL. Been looking into the Moors series. Do you participate in any racing organizations? Got rained out of work today... Time to go fondle some SxS. Try to decide Can-Am or Polaris.

Thanks for the input. I love turbos, as every vehicle I currently own is made better/more fun by the turbo. But the issue is that a turbo is not currently legal in desert racing so I would definitely have to go N/A. I am really looking for input from a professional chassis builder as I want...

bump any one have any input on the CAN AM side of the fence? thanks

Thanks for the quick response. Called and got some very needed information. Now to talk to the keeper of the check book and take a ride out to California. Let's go racing

Morning all. So I've been playing in the dirt all my life. Had a slew of trucks, a bunch of dirt bikes and 4 wheelers and now I'm gonna throw my hat in the UTV ring. Doing some research and trying to decide what route to go. From all my snowmobile experience. I am not very keen on...

So not really sure what section to post this up in but here it goes. Ideally I would like to build a tube chassis and go race SCORE/BITD. But I plan to get one season in locally in a mostly stock machine with a long travel. I live in the Midwest so I would be running in MOOR. So initial...
