The rules clearly state that the 2 inner stock frame rails and the front and rear tubes that connect them must be used. I have never seen a pro production UTV that replaced these required tubes.

lol yep I changed the rules to say frame rails now.The only team to make it through tech then fail post race tech lol. I wonder if the door bars still can be 090.
Pictures or descriptions like this would really help out alot in this confusion.

To All Teams Using Fuel Towers or Pressurized Systems, the Following Apply to You at Parker:
You MUST call BITD and register your system with before Parker. When you come through tech with your vehicle, it is mandatory that you meet with Darryl Putman. Please send your Team Manager, Team Owner and/or Crew Chief with the vehicle in Tech. Darryl will meet with each team and inspect the vehicle. He will be talking with each team at Tech, explaining what will be required by the Mint and answering your questions, as well as discussing upcoming training on fire safety for your designated fire extinguisher handler.
MANDATORY AT PARKER:
2 - 20 pound ABC fire extinguishers (ALL TEAMS, NOT JUST FUEL TOWER/PRESSURIZED SYSTEMS): These MUST be out and on the ground in the fueling area. During fueling, you must have a dedicated crew member at the ready with one (1) 20-pound fire extinguisher. Fire extinguisher compliance will be checked by the Pit Captain and if it is found the crew does not have these on board, the vehicle number will be noted and a penalty will be assessed. Acceptable fire extinguishers are: ABC, Purple K rated, or a Class B foam or equivalent. Must be two (2) 2.5 gallon or 20-pound or larger extinguishers.
Fuel catch underneath the vent area on the vehicle (ALL TEAMS, NOT JUST FUEL TOWER/PRESSURIZED SYSTEMS): Crews will be required at each pit to have a fuel catch/containment mat/catch-all with sides on it underneath the vent area vehicle when fueling. This is to catch the fuel before it hits the ground underneath the vent area of the vehicle. Can be a 5-gallon paint bucket or tub, but must have aminimum of 12" sides, with a capacity to hold 4-5 gallons of fuel. You still must have a carpet or a mat, but carpet is not to be used solely for this purpose!

PLEASE, please refrain from calling Best in the Desert with questions on this and the new fueling rule - please post any questions here and Darryl Putman will answer them in this forum as timely as possible. The office is super swamped with the day-to-day operations as well as preparing for Parker. We thank you for your understanding on this and will do our best to relay information and answers as quickly as possible. Thanks everyone!

If you run a turbo then you must run the stock ECU that will be supplied by BITD at tech, If you finish and the supplied ECU is not on your car or has been tampered with you are fined and DQ'd from the event. NASCAR issues restrictor plates for certain events BITD can get Can Am to supply these items.
