Mint 400 race results

Yes in a non multi loop race the fast guys start first with slower classes behind. If you did not you would get run over. It's just common sense! But on multi loop races most race series have split the races, slower limited classes in the morning, faster unlimited classes in the afternoon. It's not a BITD thing, they all do it and have for a long, long time. Score's Laughlin race, slower classes ran their races in the morning with each group and race getting by faster until the afternoon TT race. Score's Henderson and Primm was the same way. Limited in the morning, unlimited in the afternoon. The new Score did the same with the Imperail race. Snore's Battle @ Primm and Rage @ the river, slower classes race first, unlimited's and TT's at the end.

If the unlimiteds raced first, the DNF rate would be 75% for the afternoon limited class race and people would bitch, that they are tearing their cars up running in ruts & whoops from 39-40 inch tires.

My point exactly utv are part of the limited class. Ex Polaris and all utv move over to SNORE make it the biggest series wont the show come with it, so your back were you started unlimited run last and limited first. Were do you put utv. I am pretty sure Joey d and mad media paved the way on what to do someone just needs to run with it, EX UTVworld championship.
Still the question is how can you make the lap races better for all, not just pick up and leave to smaller series.

UTVWC costs more by itself to put on at that level then probably Parker 250, BWDC, and Henderson combined. The recipe is there but you better be able to get the money and better be able to deliver. It's not as easy as we may make it look. Let me tell you. Oh, and it's not a money maker. Lucky to ever break even.

Joeyd just a question does BITD entry help with mad media/utvunderground or does it all go to bitd. Does all mad media/utvunderground fees or break even come from vendors and sponsors. Just a question.

Thats correct. BITD retains all of the entry fees plus we pay them a fee as well. They then are on the hook for staffing and sanctioning the race itself, BLM fees, etc so they too have a lot of stuff to fund.

We could make the UTVWC profitable but I think what makes the event cool today is you see where the money is being spent whether its the merchandise, the signage, the hotels, parties and of course the biggest expense is the television and video production. This also goes for the Mint. You show up and see exactly why that race costs a bit more than others. Its a massive undertaking but thats what makes it do much bigger and better than other race events in off-road.
