Well if Can Am is offering up 10k to Can Am cars and they publicly announce that and start throwing some big money Prizes for Can Am teams it would get some attention of drivers out there for sure. Heck just use a small piece of the advertising budget and get it going. Say they put up 10k for each race it would not hurt them at all and probably use it as and expense.

So when Cognito moves to the turbo class someday is every other racer going to be racing for second? Lol

Lambert knows what it takes to win and can keep his car together, that's a winning combination in any off-road racing class

Comgrats to all of the finishers and winners, having raced this race for decades it has always been more of a dirt road race then a true desert race course and the times and speed reflect that. There are definitely some nasty sections but as a whole it's always been a pretty high speed course. The goal has always been to keep up a good pace and not over heat. Not being a very rough and demanding course on suspension, a car with a less built somewhat stock suspension has a chance of finishing well if it can keep the motor temps under control. With that being said obviously the cars with a good motor package, built suspension, and a driver that can keep it all together will rise to the top, and finish with some pretty high speeds. congrats to Cognito for taking it to them!

The whole turbo thing came at a bad time for Lambert. After years of product development, he fine tuned a package that was as reliable and competitive as the dominant and upcoming teams and chassis' in the sport. Right when he is postured to reap the rewards of his efforts, BOOM! In come the turbos. The moment that Cory unilaterally began defining this new technology and its introduction into the sport, It was evident that the repercussions would disrupt what plans anyone had for racing a ute in the premier leagues. The only top team not to make the leap to turbos was Cognito. He has a product to sell, and winning on Saturday sells on Monday. With 4 consecutive wins, and probable sweep for a class championship at hand, his company should be sending off a bottle fine cognac to Cory come December. As I have said before, a tuned and polished n/a car can match the turbos early on, but as the teams learn how to keep the turbos together, it is a fundamental fact that under the existing rules, the n/a cars will not be able match the turbo's times and average speeds. I noticed he was over 4 minutes off of the pace of the turbos in Laughlin. V2R should see that gap widen even more. One shake of my magic 8 ball has him racing a turbo in 2017, where he will be a year behind on the learning curve.

V2R can go 1 of 2 ways....1. we get our asses handed to us by the turbo cars as we cant match the torque and horsepower those cars make....or 2. The N/A car has the advantage of not having all the turbo issues in the HOT nevada desert..... In a Sprint Race 100% the Turbo has the Clear Advantage....in the Long Haul on a Hot Day....ehhh time will tell.
Also....you cant possibly think any lessons the Turbo teams have had has gone Unnoticed
I stand corrected!
Thanks Reid!

Great video Joey! And, the best coverage of a race yet. Congratulations and thanks. All us stuck behind a computer for this race thank you and your team. Finally, for the first time that I can recall the tracking system worked very well.
Congrats to the winners, finishers and all the ute racers and teams.

It was pretty cool being able to do that. Sucks that all the Can-Am fans on social media are giving us so much shit for our coverage but at the end of the day, surprising you and all the podium finishers was epic!
