How can anyone be over the KOH? I'll race this race till I'm crowned, then I'll race it again and again
Thought it might be time to get this thread going again, since some of us need several months to get a car ready.
Is the UTV race a go for sure? Is there any new info out there concerning the format or race day? Is Big Rich still gonna take over the UTV race?
Garret, I will pay your entry fee for you to compete, whatever it is!If you truly are going to charge $100 for sportsman racers, i could imagine a good turnout... seems like price point is a huge factor for a lot of people. It would be smart for a lot of people that want to give it a shot, be the sportsman champ one year then step up to the pro class! !! As far as rules, maybe nothing over 4 cylinders, otherwise build it and bash it
but not as fast or capable than most of them in the rocks. It leads to a bad traffic jam that isn't good for anyone.
I still can't make sense of the classes we had last year. But from my perspective, there are 2 classes. Those that want to win, and those that want an adventure. If you want to win, pay a little more, and take home money. If you want an adventure, pay less and peel out.
As far as performance, trying to make rules to govern performance in an industry with such 'young' and emerging technology is futile.
Run what you brung, but it seems we need to have some 'sanity' caps. 1000CC's of what is Production style power plant.
In my mind I just don't want someone to drop a LS motor in a sxs and go nuts, we have Ultra4 for that special kind of awesome.
I don' think I care if it's a rotax/canam/GSXR motor. Dependability goes alot further in this kind of racing than pure speed.
With all due respect, I dont think you're going to find anyone around here that believes this to be true. Especially those who were in the race.
I'm leaning towards Time Trials for the Pro UTV's and Mod guys as well. Will kind of end that argument huh?
Seems to me there should be two classes.
1. Pro class-1200 cc max on engines currently produced for UTVs ( but no special, one off, motorcycle, snowmobile, or aftermarket engines) which allows mods to stock engines,..... and unlimited suspension.
2. Sportsman- 800 cc , UTV production only, which pretty much incorporates most lower cc engines produced today for UTVs, .....also with unlimited suspension.
