First 1700 on the podium, again!

Great way to end the season!
 
Well done
 
I own 2 Cherokees, Dan has at least one, Tony has one, Scott Parker has a comanche. We bleed XJ's, just chose a frame and coils in the rear for racing. Don't hate, we still share parts!:smootch:

You guys sure throw a monkey wrench in the plans to limit the payout to Cherokees only next year!!
:D

Keep throwing tech our way and we won't hate!
 
It was a great course for UTV's. They are light, float on top of the soft stuff, have way more suspension and easily twice the money in them as we do. The course had a lot of the short choppy stuff. Not a whole lot of wide open running.

Not that I would rather race them, I can barely stand a whole lap pre-running in mine. I like gears.

Results came out today and we averaged 41.7 on the first day and 38 on the second day. That's moving for a jeep!
 
I would have lost a bet hands down. In a million years I never thought they could run that course that good. It was tight and maybe that's was a huge advantage for UTV's but the wheel base is so short. Along Shea road, how fast could you go in a UTV? We were hitting 80-90 could they really go over 40? I am very impressed. I would still never get in one, I could not stop thinking what would happen if you got hit. I think the fastest 1700 lap was 33.32 and a UTV did a lap in 34.06 thats crazy to me. Our fastest lap was 32.00 with a small 4 minutes stuck in a tree issue.
