We will be providing the poster boards and markers, they can add your stickers. Something fun and will add to the crowd experience.
- · I don’t have a contract signed yet, but we should have a dyno in town. It will be for entertainment purposes (think $50 a pull with your trail, tow, or race rig…prizes at the end of the week). We will also be working with an Engine Tuner to be able to provide support for the racers.

UTV entry list as of 5 pm yesterday:
I don't think it will happen, but if Dave actually does cap Thursday entries at 100, some people are not going to be able to race.
I know it has changed since then by at least one person, maybe 4. Add in the 54 people already paid for the EMC race, that leaves sixteen to eighteen spots left out of the 100. If you guys want to race, get your entries paid for ASAP!

I have to say I am happy about the UTV's going off after the EMC. This will add another level of action for the fans, it may get some exposure for the fast UTV's and maybe quiet some of the people that say UTV's don't belong. Many more fans will be onsite to watch the race.
I agree 100% im just hoping they will be cleared out of the obsticals before the front running utvs get to them
Ok, 30" Krawler
and if i had to guess 8 out of 10 cars will be running 27" or smaller tires.
