Mint 400 entry costs...speak your mind
Personally I find it very disturbing that the UTV classes have such a high entry fee for the Mint 400. $2500 + $94.99 (fee) and if you want to add a 3rd and 4th driver (which I always do because they can fill in when someone is ill or injured) is another $100 + $6.49 fee per addiction. Some...- jdrew1965

Laughlin Desert Classic
The best way to police the turbo class in the future is to stop the policing. I was talking with one of the names in SxS engine building at the Laughlin race. My stance is to merge the turbo class with the unlimited class and just let those cars be unlimited. Imagine a season in which the top...- jdrew1965

2016 Parker 250 Race Report
Felix it was probably better that you had to line up with me by mistake instead of Lacrecia and I had to line up with you and not Staggs. You might have flipped your car in the first turn while watching where she was and Johnny would never let you live it down and I would have been the first...- jdrew1965

Official UTVUnderground 2016 Parker 250 Update Thread
I think everyone has been overlooking the best way around all of this. Since I have had a drink or two I will share. It is not difficult to run a spliced wire harness in your car and add in whatever you like just hide it. Heck, if you can't figure out how to do this I will walk you through it on...- jdrew1965

XPT Primary wearing out
This does suck! I am going to give my opinion. It is just that, an opinion and not an accusation. This damage looks as though someone spayed your clutch with an oily lube at some point for some reason. This would cause any duct or sand or debris that could enter the clutch housing to stick to...- jdrew1965

Official UTVUnderground 2016 Parker 250 Update Thread
It really sounds like everyone would have been much happier if the Turbo cars had to race in the unlimited class like the rules accounted for prior to the 2015 change. There would have been no need to police anything except displacement and safety. All the teams no matter the manufacturer would...- jdrew1965

I agree he was really confused. Did you notice somebody ended up going out alone because of the screw up.- jdrew1965

Official UTVUnderground 2016 Parker 250 Update Thread
Congrats to the Cognito team and Justin! With that said, it is sad that the UTV racing classes will continue to be plagued with controversy over the rules and how they are implemented. I am super happy that a Pro Production car not only took the overall but from what I have heard crossed...- jdrew1965

Parker Draw Order
Is it possible for me to finish top ten...YES! At that point I would benefit from this new start order rule, cool. I don't think that makes it right, nor am I saying it isn't right because it has affected my starting position at this race. I am simply tired of the BITD allowing the UTV class to...- jdrew1965

We will surprise you this year Johnny. I know that you like starting behind slow drivers sometimes because it gives you confidence knowing you are faster.- jdrew1965

Parker 250 Overall
Way to throw that out there Branden. I think the new rules do not favor the Polaris turbo cars. I know they are fast but that speed limiting factor could really hurt. If we get enough funding to build a new car, our plan is to build a Polaris turbo the same way we would build it for pro...- jdrew1965

Which cage style do you prefer? Why?
The way I look at this is as follows: Those cages that flow into the rear bumper look good, but they are only good for the owner that wants a stylish machine that is not in fear of being rolled. A cage that is separate from the rear bumper will still look amazing without being tied into the...- jdrew1965

Peak Powersports - Race support at 2016 BITD events
Damn Felix... I do think this is a great thing. Would be really amazing if you guys were at the alternate pit or main pit during races with the parts trailer. its not possible for us to have everything on hand. I will say I hope you bring lots of universal cv boot bands and anything you know...- jdrew1965

Polaris Who wants to discuss XP1k suspension?
I recommend that if you have stock shocks, send those things to W/E or Shock Therapy and get them revalved. If you want to drive your machine like you stole it and have the best health insurance available, suspension is everything. Revalve or buy new shocks. The option is yours otherwise do not...- jdrew1965
