Halfway through my second round of listening to this live show, a few notes to share.
UTV Pro cars qualify Tuesday, early. I assume 8 am since every other day is scheduled to start at 8.
Both UTV classed race the same course as EMC/Spec/Legends. EMC stock and UTV Sportsman get to take bypasses around the major rock obstacles, while EMC Mod/Spec/Legends/UTV Pro do not get bypasses. Dave mentioned EMC Modified racers asked for a harder course, and that he delivered. Then he laughed. Go read his post on pirate, and then come to your own conclusion.
There are now 9 cars in Sportsman, as one is now in Pro. Racetart order for Sportsman:
1. Scott Barnett
2. Mel Wade IV
3. Amberly Sacalas
4. Matt Dow
5. Lindsay Syler
6. John Melvin
7. Terry Kenyon
8. Brian Hogue
9. Brett Snyder
Pro qualifying order, as stated by Dave. Has a few new names, and he left two names off. He also said a name I think was an error(Brian Rush, then he was interrupted, and then said Brian Bush), so I didn't include that name.
1. Wesley Gryner
2. Casey Currie
3. Joseph Chavez
4. Bill Barnett
5. Branden Sims
6. Cody Nygren
7. Wyatt Casper
8. Angie Sripoona
9. Lanse Chournos
10. Darryl Dunlap
11. Arnold Parris
12. Blake Van de Loo
13. Chris Barnett
14. Matt Enochs
15. Troy Bigelow
16. Brian Bush
17. Brian Braun
18. John Duckworth
19. Fred Stanford
20. Jason Murray
21. Rob Usnick
22. Mitch Guthrie
23. Matthew Hamilton
24. Dean Bulloch
The two drivers on the verified driver list that weren't named are Robert Shepherd and Robert VanBeekum. Not sure if they canceled or transferred to a higher level class or were just mistakenly left out.
Add it up, it's 33 cars. 35 if you count the two guys not listed tonight. Maybe 36 if Brian Rush is an actual person. We will know tomorrow!
Interesting thing is that there will be a 17-18 minute head start for the first Pro over the last Sportsman, meaning the first UTV driver to finish is almost guaranteed to be a Sportsman.

But is Brian Rush? Because Dave Cole said Brian Rush, then Brian Bush, then Brian Braun. I don't know of anyone named Brian Rush, so I think maybe he just said it wrong the first time.

17. Brian Braun is correct as that's me. Don't know about Rush.

I think that is a respectable turnout. And a good turnout for Sportsman.
Come on people still time to get in on the fun!!
This race is logistically tough, But there are ways to make it easier on yourself. I'm sure if you post up you can get teams to help you with pit support using your gas and parts,
I'm buying Beer & shots for all drivers and Co-Drivers Tuesday night!

Heh heh heh... Are you drinking? I can see the hangovers now.... Man these bumps are killing my freakin head!!!! LOL!!!
Great gesture for comraderie, it's what makes this such a great race and week!
Good on ya Blake!
Do we know who to talk to about tech inspection? The machine I was getting ready may need a top end build and am working on getting another one ready.
I was just going to weld on some extra bracing to my wildcat cage, need to know if that will work for the pro class. Its already a 6 point cage.

http://www.isxsa.com/Rules Pg. 24 should answer your question.
Straight from the Ultra4 site.
I hope it helps!

The ISA rules are NOT in use for this race. They have been used in previous years, but not any more.
The NEW 2014 rules are here:
http://ultra4racing.com/racers/rulebook/
And Lanse, just email or call Dave and ask him.
Dan, the rules posted for 2014 on the Ultra 4 site show different.
"6.6 UTV Class
6.6.1 A UTV is defined as a standard production based side by side 2 or more seat vehicle. 1000 CC or less motor with powersports based drivetrain. Any non-production based belt driven vehicles must be approved prior to racing.
6.6.2 UTV Safety – UTV’s to follow all Ultra4 Safety rules with the following exceptions
6.6.2.1 Six Point aftermarket racing cage. Sportsman may use 4 point factory cage with aftermarket rear bracing creating a six point cage
6.6.2.2 SFI Rated 5 point harnesses. Sportsman may use 4 point harnesses.
6.6.2.3 Seats must have slots for harnesses and adequate headrest contact with a helmet on.
6.6.2.4 Doors are required but not required to open
6.6.2.5 Window nets or arm restraints required
6.6.2.6 Factory plastic fuel cells allowed if used in factory mounting position"
Based on what this says, I would say no on the stock cage being legal. It only allows for additional braces to be used to bring the car into sportsman class legality.
Lanse, build a cage on that car quickly, you have time. Get one of Dean's cage kits if needed.

Sorry guys, I guess I ended up in a foreign land somehow. That is where it directed me from the Ultra4 site. Time for some house cleaning I guess, must've got to a 2013/2013 link somehow.
I tried to find the link that Chris has and I'll be damned if I can get there through the homepage. I see the "changes", but not a direct link.
I guess that's a good thing now that there is a direct link here...
Mea Culpa...
Ah, I see, it's under Drivers... Go figure!
