I had a chance to meet your boy at our pit saturday night while we were repairing Tylers car... Nice kid !!
Ths reminds me of something I wanted to point out and say.
I know that as racers sometimes you all let the competitive fire get to you and you dont always see eye to eye. As a person who floats around to almost every pit I get the opportunity to listen too and absorb the diferent opinions, complaints, and praises that surround the sport.
This fuel issue I know upset and annoyed some, others let it not bother them, and some got offended. At the end of the day nobody was really hurt by it and it seems everyone learned and will work to help either change or get the rules modified to better help the UTV classes in LOORRS.
I know that there was some dispute regarding on the track driving between racers, and there almost always is. If it isnt one thing its another and as competitors you all see things differently and in some cases see them the same. But one thing remains the same, you are all ont he track to win and be compeitive and I dont think anyone gest into their suits with the intention of being a dirty or unsafe driver.
As racers you all are in this racing thing together and Saturday night reminded me of just how much love and support is floating around those pits despite compeititve differences. So many times I see direct competitors sharing parts, tips, and tricks and when a racer is in need you see competition come togeather to help eachother out.
Saturday evening just after the Pro 2 race wrapped up I headed down the pits to go visit with one of our biggest supporters, the Wagon Burners team of Tyler Winbury. Patrick WInbury (Tylers Dad) was pulling the car apart and already assesing damage from the UTV main. Tyler had a violent roll over and was hit really hard by a spinning LSRGreg in his SR1. The hit he took from Greg really messed his B-Pillar (?) behind the drivers seat up. I mean REALLY MESSED it up. It pushed the tube almost into the seat and snapped the weld. During his rollover (which was not caused by Greg or anyone else) the front drive shaft broke out of the motor causing a loud banging noise and masive slamming of metal inside the chassis. Tyler also folded the front bumper, bent the main frame rail at the lower a-arm rear picot point, and caused some minor sheet metal damage. Patrick was looking at hours of work, and quite possibly a DNS for sunday, Until the Funco Team came rolling into the Winbury pit.
Grant, Gill and the rest of the team pulled up in 2 Teryx's and quickly began to asses the damage. I swear, its the eye of the friggen tiger with these guys. Grant's like "3 hours of work MAX", Granpa Gill says "we will cut this and that and weld a tube in here easy..." These guys attacked that car like it was one of their own. I mean it is one of their own considering they built the car for Tyler last year, but point is these guys took charge, let Pat know they had his back and on Sunday Tyler was all togeather and on the starting grid ready for battle.
For those of us who are in the pits regularly this isnt anything out of the ordinary. These teams all want to win, they all have commitments, and they all work hard to get themselves into position to win. But more times then not you will see these teams do whatever it takes to help their direct comeptitin also be in a position to try and win and thats what amazes me. Weather its Funco in the Winbury's pits laying down welds, Weller in Kimbrells tent tuneing a motor, Bobby pulling out his R1 to give to Dan Kelly so that he can run again like he did in AZ, or the XMF boys revalving Gary Thompsons Walker Evans shocks, everyone is there to help eachother.
This was a friggen article, and I am trying to write a release but I just felt compelled as a UTV racing groupie (one of these days I want to get on the box myself..ONE DAY) to share the thing I see while wandering around from pit to pit.........
sorry for the spelling...hahaha
I think the UTV classes have always been good about that.....and I hope we always hang onto that!
