Don't they need to sell like 500 units to race it in a production class in the Baja 1000?

New rules don't state or I can't seem to find the wording. However, the old rules stated...

Ah so I guess they could release it at anytime before then. The Sema show would have been a great plate to release it.

My brother told me the boosted YXZs were whoopen on everything at Glamis last weekend. This rumored car could be such a killer package. Im starting to lose faith though now that Sema is over and nothing happened.

The production timeline from the dealer webinar slated the new car would be announced in February , production in march.

The rumored turbo was not a public car but a race only model - you'd have to apply to cats race program, get approved, sign a contract, pay for it and then follow the guidelines of the race program. or return is was my understanding.

In the snowmobile world ISR mandates to be production you have to produce XXX amount of models for race specific purpose that people outside of the company can purchase. They do this through an amateur race program where you apply , sign a contract before the sled is shipped, and you get a substantial parts discount on top of a heavily discounted race sled (race sled under 10k where the standard production models are 13-17k)

So they break the production minimum number requirement, then racers get first dibs, then halfway through the race season dealers can buy them for floor models despite them being closed course competition only models (similar to a non green sticker compliant model for you guys out west) So one would assume that this would end up being a non carb compliant model and it would be closed course competition only. I'm not sure how Score, BITD, LOORS etc handles this and come Monday we will know how TORC handles it.

All I know is we were told we will have a new car to start development on in December.

Saw them today. They look great. Sound bad ass. But they were practically building them in the garage at Estero. One returned back smoking heavily from the exhaust it appeared. Regardless, they are hot rods and according to Robby are essentially how they will come from factory. There will be a 110" long 2 seater which you see here, a shorter 2 seater and then a 4 seater. They have turbo xxxx engines with 210hp. Plunging rear axles with huge cvs. A lot of other cool stuff. These are race cars but cages did appear to be bolted on, not sure if this is how you will buy them or not but they are very cool. More details tomorrow. I was invited to come hang out but got side tracked before they bailed to go test.
