STOCK Polaris Xp Class @ The Lucas Oil Regional Series??? Need your input

[JoeyD23]

adopt the ISA Production 1000 class and call it a day.....

I just worry about safety with a true stock class. You may think that you can keep your hands and feet inside the car when you crash, but you can't. Stock Polaris cage's are thin. Stock seat belts do not keep the driver in the car in a crash as we have all seen on Youtube. Sure it would be great to just jump in your family UTV and race, but do you want to go home with a crushed limb or worse? Just my 2 cents

Agreed. No one is suggesting a totally stock class.....I was just saying that many people who would race a totally stock class won't race if they have to modify their machines for safety sake. That is why we see so many XPs and other machines around and about, but not so many at the race track.

IMO the more safety rules the better.

I don't see any reason why anyone who wants to race a stock XP in the regional series can't race in the Stock UTV class. That's what it's there for. Bring 'em out!

Just 5 cents worth from a perspective of having seen a production class in another race sport and seen it work very well.

We have run production 250CC racing in Australian road motorcycling for 25 years now and it has been vital to the success of producing some of the finest road racers in the world from a country with limited exposure to motorsport. And you can see the lack of success generally in other categories.

Having a standard vehicle (wouldn't Polaris, Arctic Cat or Can Am jump at the chance to sponsor a series if you declared a single vehicle event?) with minimal standard changes for safety but all else stock, gives you a bare bones entry level for non racers to enter a racing series at minimal outlay and find out if they would like to take racing further.

With a single make of vehicle you can soon identify illegal mods by better handling or faster cars which cannot be acheived by tuning alon, outright acceleration past you while your flat stick in a stright line will showing you who may be cheating.

But all in all it has produced the best level of recers we are able to produce and as much as people here might have one preference or another I believe the one make class would be aimed at mostly brand new racers, not people here who are already racing.

SXS's need to have a "nursery" class and a single vehicle production class is I believe the best solution I know of to getting people into more advanced levels of SXS racing. Its a great step up from something like Minitruck if you are a junior or a good entry level for someone with no SXS experience but some racing or some SXS riding experience.

Just my 5 cents worth

Don't know the AZ rules here axactly but if this is saying what I'm saying above Cory (although you aren't promoting a singler make) I would be supporting a similar system.

Stock class is a GREAT idea.

Before I say I wont be there! What classes do they offer at the LUCAS OIL REGIONAL's.

I raced 2 years ago @ Glen Helen and there was a class for the YAMAHA RHINO's. What classes are available??????

How many different classes and what's the cost to race?

Hey Daniel we currently offer a SR1 Class
and a Modified UTV class like the Lucas Oil Off Road Series.


The question is how many SXS/UTV are like yours and would race on a consistent basis? What good is a class with 2 or 3 cars racing around??


We only have so much time in a day and can't change that. We are set to a 1 day race program. Hopefully we can build up a class one day for your SXS? Thanks

[OFFROADSWAPMEET]

We know the unlimited class can run with the SR1's it's proven.

Im not looking for a place just for my car, Im thinking about everbody else with a TERYX,RHINO,RZR,RZRS,RZR4, they need a place to RACE.


FACTS
700cc WORCS series had 10 rhinos or more in class 3 at each race I went to this year.

850cc Class 2 had 12 plus cars.

1000cc Class 1 had almost 20 cars.

HOW COME CALI IS DIFFERENT THAN AZ ?

[hotrod44d]

brilliant!! I would participate, Lucas oil course with an XP would appeal to anyone that owns one!! DO IT!!

Looks like this class is starting to take shape.
I'm Sure we will add other brands soon.
