Nothing like running a 600lb Utility around the race track img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">BR>This is me on my Rincon and my brother on his Scrambler. Both are stock..
This is the most fun we've had riding so far.

dang, the amount of setup required would be phenominal
Let's see, what do we need to do to prep one of these things......
never mind, racing a Ute is just a quick way to tear it up
no thanks

Now that would be a good idea
A race track designed for Utes...hmmmm
It would be a standing dead engine start....
1) first thing in the track would be a tight obsticle course, poles planted in the ground to resemble trees, you'd have to manuvre thru them with only 1 hand on the handle bars, the other hand would be required to hold on to binoculars. There would be a person holding a sign a mile away and you have to see the numbers they put up then once thru the obsticle you have to stop and tell a checkpoint person what number they held up. 1 minute penelty for each number you got wrong
2) Next obsticle would be a log drag race. You would have to hook up and drag 20 logs (wich are jumbled up so you'd have to pick carefully which log to drag first) and stack the logs up in a mock firewood cutting area.
3) The mudhole, self explanitory I think. But it would be an ugly mud hole requiring winches even on the best of mudder machines. There would be slippery logs buried in the mud hole too.
4) Once out of the mudhole there would be a hill climb, a rutty rocky hill climb one wouldn't want to attempt without safty precautions (winch)
5) There would be another binocular/tree weaving session.....let's see how well you kept your gear from getting mudded!
6) Next there would be a trailor backing session.. Hook a trailer and back it down a path careful to not knock over cones, then load it up with gravel and haul it up a hill and over some obsticles.. The heaviest trailer gets 10 points, 2nd heaviest gets 8 and so on. This is to promote full load and not spilling gravel.
7) would be stacking hey on the trailor then hauling it down the same hill you hauled the gravel up, again points for the most bails hauled without breakage.
We could add stuff if 7 ain't enough, the imagination is the limit here
I think it would be a blast!

Bah!
Your just lazy BR>
Afraid someone on a "lesser machine" might beat ya?

Actually, I have raced Sport Quads on tight trails with my King Quad... Yeah they dusted me most of the time but I have had the pleasure of several riders asking how the Hell I was keeping up... LOL
Winding trails with long straights and 450 4 stroke and Banshee type bikes will eat you to death... Whoops would be a nightmare... But against other Utes.... I think it would be a Blast!
Later,
Hibrass

Hey guys,
Has anyone ever tried racing on a track with their utility cause our local track is supposed to open up this class this year.

Not sure what the track Ill be like cause it is gonna be one of the 3-4 tracks they will have this year......should be designed for that type...
Posted by: squeege
Yah
after 1 trip around I'd prolly want a race quad....
Posted by: v2rider
Not for me. I will race anyone on a straight run, but not with the whoops, and 90 degree turns. My top end will beat most sport quads, but in a track, i would get smoked from turns and whoops
Posted by: v2rider
Yeah and he smoked one to many times in his life.
Posted by: v2rider
And after getting our butts kicked in the race, we will have a UTE against SPORT quad pulling event, snowy hill climb event, and mud hole event!
Posted by: hillclimbingrecon
Yeah,I would race either in a drag,harescramble or mud bog maybe even a hill climb
Posted by: hillclimbingrecon
LOL.dude thats for sure i mean come on no one i know would even wan to do that I mean all that is about a weeks worth a quad work wrapped up in about an hour!! No thanks i will just stick with a NORMAL race!
Posted by: hillclimbingrecon
The sport quads are gong to get there but buts kicked! who ever heard of a 450r or a ltr450 winning the hillifter mud nationals?LOL

i've taken one around a track a few times its kinda strange its nothing like a sport quad. and good luck trying to double. table tops are fine cause if you land short it dosn't matter. and whoops ya they are going to be really hard on a utility.
