Only 10 days until one of my favorite races. Its hard to beat racing in Parker. I was looking at the draw orders and a couple interesting things popped out at me.
First, the Murrays will be the first turbo off the line. I'm sure they will be racing their X3 in the Pro Turbo class now that its available to the public. I think there will be a lot of people waiting to see if they can stay out front with the new car. What will really make their race intense is that they are only 2 points behind in the points championship. Will they push to take the lead or will they play it safe as the most consistent team in UTV racing?
Speaking of the X3s. Jones is not in on the draw. Being out of the point chase, and with a busted car after V2R, did they decide to spare themselves the long drive from the south? If they weren't able to get the new car fixed, I would assume they still have their old car. If they aren't a late entry there will be a certain flair (and a film crew) missing from tech. S3 are some of the funnest guys to talk to. I bet they would show for sure if it was announce the Monster girls would be their in yoga pants!
Burnett is also within striking distance of the points championship. He is currently sitting 5 points down on Sims. With the lower entry numbers this late in the season he is going to have to put on a show to make it happen. Its checkers or wreckers time!
Looks like Scanlon is debuting his new car in the Unlimited class. We all know it will be a top level build and with Holz Racing being one of the few companies willing to take the risk of building a car outside the box, I'm sure there will be a few tricks on it besides the front steer conversion and the shocks on the lower A arms. From the pictures I have seen, it didn't look like there was anything that would keep it from racing in the Pro Turbo class. I believe there was a rule implemented that said if you could race in turbo or production class then you HAD too as opposed to the unlimited class. If I am correct, could we see the first Polaris race car with the 2017 Turbo tune?
Its been a long while since we have had some good smack talk and side bets leading up to a race here on the underground. Anyone feeling especially cocky or think they know what horse to bet on? Lets here some of those predictions!

And not a bad plan entering a new car this late in the season. No one wants new car blues with 18 eager N/A cars and whatever turbos you draw a better spot than, right on your tail. I bet he still has better times than half the turbo class.
