New BITD Stock Sportsman Rule

[ROTR]

Has anybody seen this yet? Is this a Turbo and N/A class? Will they only be able to race the whole series, co-driver required? Lot of questions....

I have been asking for a true Prod class in BITD for a while now!! I hope this is it! No more $80,000 builds - true stock vehicles with only minor mods allowed would be awesome!!

Brandon Sims is competing at the highest level on a couple year old car with a good cage added and bolt on aftermarket suspension. The 80k builds are bitchen but setup,prep, team, and driving ability win desert races. This class is great for entry level but the speeds on stock a arms, ball joints, etc are going to be slow.

And dangerous. I wouldnt run a desert race car on an OEM fuel tank/system either.

KOH is run with stock tanks.....genuinely curious why you feel it's unsafe? A fuel cell isn't that difficult, I put one in my bed last year for V2R with minimal fab....so it's def doable on a budget.

A tangle with a larger vehicle that could crush the surrounding frame structure is my main concern. Then there's the lack of quality clamps and fittings that come on the stock vehicles. Remember when that one manufacturers feed lines were breaking off at the rail?

I'm interested in running it. The rules definitely need to be a little more clear. I'm going to race pro n/a next year with stock suspension but ill be legal with my low budget garage build.

What isn't allowed? ie Tuner, Exhaust, Turbo or N/A Class?

I e-mailed Cary Sappington with a few questions and got this response.
"This is an open sportsman class. The intent of this class is to allow people to race their UTVs that are not fully built desert UTVs."
"no this class will not be available at all BITD races. All driver/codriver safety gear is all the same for all the classes"

Looks like I will be competing for the 2018 Sportsman Championship !!!

Weld in cages or are bolt on cages alright?

I'd love to see a stock class. See what the manufacturers really have not what can be rebuilt to work.

So talking to Cory the rules are open in that as long as the rules listed on the BITD site for the Stock Sportsman are met, anything goes. So essentially you can have a fully built race car and compete in this class. At least for now.

The class will only be run at events where cars and trucks are NOT running hence the lower safety standard.

Didn't we hear this once before? Lol

No. And clearly I'm being sarcastic. A 3 race series is hardly a championship.

 

[CSG]

interesting...

What 3 races ? the two UTV races and ?

Should be Parker, Silver State and UTV World Championship right?

 

[dezertBandito]

Gotcha the silver state was the one i wasn't sure of

I am pretty serious though about trying to get some action in for fun.
