Wow, four UTV's. Where the hell is all the Cali UTV racers.
The Teryx.
I talked with two guys in the pits that we raced against (super stock) last year, while they were still competitive with the RZR bottom line, the Teryx brought competition to a new level but only to those that can afford it or were starting from scratch.
They;
1. Dont want to start over with new builds,
2. Used race cars are worthless (compared to the original investment to build it) so they cannot recoupe their costs,
3. The economy.
One of them said he could probably have pulled in another half dozen cars but none of them want to go head to head against a Teryx with $10K in motor work. Modded Rhinos were bad enough.
They are doing what the rest have/are doing, parting out their cars or doing street bike motor conversions.
It flat out sucks.
BTW, there were 6 cars there(Mittag, Winbury, Dempsy, Scratton, Kyla, & Code), we blew a head gasket in Codes old Super Stock and left early, Tommy had a steering rack failure from a previous incident at M4, it just decided to fail at Elsi. EDIT, I see Tommy got it fixed.
I liked the track, its nice to see tables and jump combos that are reltively safe for vehicles to hit, although John Dempsy got the stadium "Ooooo" a couple of times. Thought for sure he was going endo once.
Anyway I hope it gets bigger, we'll come back, Code was having a blast (in a Super Stock) till his motor popped.
