10 H.P. is not enough power to make a stink about. There are far larger advantages that the RZR has over the other 2 (really, just 1) manufacturers. One example is weight bias. Another is clutch diameters and belt lengths. Another, rear trailing arm applications. Need I say more? Besides, there is still too far of a gap between the capabilities of the cars being raced, versus the abilities of the drivers who race them, for modified motors to become a factor (CVT vulnerabilities not withstanding).
I think whoever made the decision to allow turbos to race next season in the pro UTV 1900 class, in stock trim or otherwise, made a bad call. I would question the source if they benefit from it before anyone else has the ability to. One can't argue though, the value of cheap, reliable and accessible horsepower. I also think that hotshot teams like ours or Johnny's drive up the cost of the class, but that's a commentary for another thread.
From what I read here, the class has a lot of close-knit racers who enjoy racing each other, more than they want to win. It seems like the "mom and pop team" mentalities is still abundant here. This class is on the verge of something big, which unfortunately, would not include too many of the small teams currently involved due to cost implications. If more of the big guys would openly share more of what they are doing with the small guys, then the small guys will stand a better chance of survival.
