Biggest UTV race of 2012 - Mint 400 - Official Thread

[Bajaxp]

Looks like BITD is over 300 and closed the entries. We have 30 UTV's signed up. Which will make us likely the third or fourth largest class behind Trophy Truck, Class 1 and maybe 7200's.

UTV racing is exploding...even at this level!

 

[jaggedx]

Yep! 30 Intents! A few guys don't have their entry in yet. Drawing is next Wed. UTV's are definately the Fourth largest class! Awesome turnout! 19 Jeepspeeds in front of us Build your bumpers well!

Class count
1400 (trick truck) 38
1500-46
1000-25
1100-12
1200-3
1600-1
1700-19
1800-17
1900-30
2000-14
3000-5
3700-7
4400-6
5000-11
5100-2
6000-19
6100-1
7100-7
7200-33
8000-15
8100-5

Not sure what classes are racing in the same race with the UTV's
I know the 1700,1800,7100,8100 will race with us and probably the 6000 and 5000

That would put close to 100 vehicles in our race.

4400's race with us, but 3 laps

 

[Bajaxp]

I am guessing 2/1600's (class 2000) and class 6000 (Trophy Lites) also.

Has anyone sent in an intent to the Mint that will not be able to make it? I spoke to Casey and I would be able to get a race slot with your intent letter. Please let me know asap. We are ready to go race! Will pay if necessary

Draw day is normally exciting but Im not sure that a good draw is going to make that much of a difference for this race.

It always is better to start near the front...less to pass and a whole lot less dust to deal with..I'll hope for a up front position!

Oh I know but at this race there will probably be 100 vehicles starting in front of the UTVs, I don't think we will be 1st off the start?

I was curious where we were starting...I was hoping up front as usual...but I realize this isn't the usual BITD race...

 

[rupert14]

Keeping my fingers crossed, oh yeah, DSR1 starts up front and there are only three of us. I guess that is pretty good odds. Whatever happens, this will be an epic race!!

 

[Frank13]

BITD website says the draw results will be either later tonight or tomorrow.

They have a bunch of other info in the Mint 400 file though.

5:00am staging whooo!
