Short story long... and expensive.... Last year a friend and I went the The Mint to watch a buddy race in Vintage Class. Had a BLAST!!!! Walked around vendor area, saw lots of friends, helped out in our buddies pit, and partied HARD later that night after his race... I say "HARD" because in my drunken stuper, I apparently told EVERYBODY "Next year Im racing UTV" and bet them!!! Well.... my buddy that was there with me, the guy that owned the Vintage car (Norm Francis) and my buddy that raced Vintage class all reminded me of this bet and called me out on it. So, not one to go back on my word, I jumped in feet fir...correction.. DOVE in FACE first into building a car. Bought a 2019 CanAM X3 R (64" wide version, stand by there was a good reason) and headed to Magnum Offroad to have it built. I went with the 64" R for the huge price savings, Baja Kits stepped up BIG and gave me a SMOKING deal on all new A arms, rear trailing arms, and KING Shock that will make it 72" wide once installed. There was no reason to pay the extra money for stuff I was going to rip off the car anyway to get better parts. Doing all new suspension, axles, Methods/Tensors anyway, so after doing the math only thing I really lost out on was that car doesn't have Smart Lok system (which I can add for $2k, still money ahead). Norm who owns the Vintage Car my buddy drives is helping out also. Im going to run the car under his team "Retro Racing" and use his pit crew and hopefully some of his sponsors will help out as well. I will update the thread as parts come in and car gets built. Heres the car when I picked it up and a few Magnum cars of what it will end up looking like when complete.
SIDE NOTE: Anybody looking to hide some money from Uncle Sam and wants to help sponsor a UTV let me know, Im open to any offers, hahaha.
