You mean Crandon wasn't exciting enough for you in pro stock? haha.that was a definite case of too many UTV's on the track at a time.I am not a fan of landrush starts in UTVs....not everyone can hold their line(seriously, it must be a huge challenge for some), and these cars can climb all over the top of each other's wheels with the right touch at the right place. Can ruin a number of racer's days before the race even starts......
How long do you want someone to hold their line when the start is 100 ft long into a bottle necked left hand turn thats 25 feet wide?!I am not a fan of landrush starts in UTVs....not everyone can hold their line(seriously, it must be a huge challenge for some), and these cars can climb all over the top of each other's wheels with the right touch at the right place.

Way too many.....it was a bad idea before it was even considered lol!You mean Crandon wasn't exciting enough for you in pro stock? haha.that was a definite case of too many UTV's on the track at a time.
give me a break... lol We did a full 2 hour TV show last year, did you miss that too? lolWith Polaris not winning any desert classes, I suspect we will also see a lack of post race coverage too. In the past the post race coverage was paid for by Polaris, not something UTVU just did. That was why they did not cover the none Polaris teams, which was understandable.
I bet if this continues to happen Polaris will be releasing the new XP sooner then later.
Pretty sure that's Piplic....
Did a little looking today to try to figure out who clipped Shane and I think it was this orange 4533 Rzr turbo in the pic above. I'm pretty sure this pic was taken right after the initial contact with the black X3 and right before the collision with Shane. Can anyone verify? Not trying to call anyone out, I'm just curious.
That's what I saw when I looked up the number but I saw a post on Facebook claiming it was a relatively inexperienced female driver, neither of which applies to Piplic. My assumption is that Piplic may have let another driver use his Rzr. That being said, Shane seems to be pretty understanding of the whole situation and I respect that. My impression is that he was disappointed but not necessarily angry. From my perspective whomever was driving the rzr caused the wreck owes the drivers of both wrecked X3's an apology in the name of good sportsmanship but on the other hand, if you're going to race aggressively you have to be somewhat prepared for what I feel is inevitable. Clearly I wasn't there and the camera angles are limited so I may be completely wrong, but that's just my opinionPretty sure that's Piplic....
I think that's a hype man trying to justify the obvious to promote the event. Sure everyone goes to see the wrecks at a Nascar race but Nascar has not gone to the point of jumping school buses on the front stretch and jumping through the ring of fire on the back stretch to try and get people to pay attention. Racer safety should be the first and foremost concern, not ticket sales for a land rush start once a year for people who start side by side at every other race in a pill draw format to let any rookie draw a front spot and start up front in a huge horsepower UTV to wreck some one's day finding out you can't buy talent only the car.Maybe everyone needs to realize that the race will never be won in the first corner, or even first lap, but can easily be lost.
Sure, 100 cars on a 16 mile loop is a lot but thats not the problem. WAYYYYYYYYYY more cars were broken or destroyed by the drivers and parts themselves due to the brutal course and high speeds then in collisions.
Everyone can make excuses, and of course some are very legitimate reasons as to why they lost, broke or crashed. But in the end this is what racing looks like when you have such big prizes and rewards waiting for you at the top of the podium.
