Nice! Looking forward to seeing the new Can-Am out there battling those XP's for a podium spot, and showing that it's just as competitive in the right hands.

Chime in Murray bros, give us some details!!!

 

[OFFROADSWAPMEET]

Way to expand the life of a Can-am. Good luck on the rest of the year and hope you guys can pull it off.

Thanks everyone! We are super excited for the new opportunites and ventures for 2013. The WORCS Commaner build is coming along nicely at our race shop, and will be ready for testing shortly. Soon as we can we will put up some pictures, and video of the new ride.

Thanks to Lone Star for stepping up big, and providing support for the 2013 season!

murray what class are you going to run 800 or 1000

 

[dmurray]

still up in the air? We haven’t gotten the final word from Can-Am. We will run the car as a 1000 in other races throughout the year just not sure what engine for WORCS . Should have an answer shortly.

 

[MAGNUM OFFROAD]

I'm sure Can-Am would want to show that their 1000 is competitive against the Polaris XP's in the production 1000 class. It would make no sense for them to step down a class, it would make them look like they are scared to run with Polaris in the premier class IMO. Looking forward to seeing what you guys have been working on!

 

[dmurray]

I wouldn't say scared! Just more of a marketing thing. People don't realize that the Can-Am 800 is a fast machine!!! The only way to prove it is show it!! 1000? 800? Only time will tell?

 

[howyadoin]

Very cool guys! Congrats and you definitely deserve it!

 

[MAGNUM OFFROAD]

I wouldn't say scared! Just more of a marketing thing. People don't realize that the Can-Am 800 is a fast machine!!! The only way to prove it is show it!! 1000? 800? Only time will tell?

I never said scared, it would just look as if Can-Am was conceding victory to Polaris in the 1000 class if they were to drop down to 850. Again, just my opinion, but I'm sure others would get the same impression. Strange marketing move for sure, but either way I'm a BIG Can-Am / Murray Racing fan and am looking forward to seeing them and you out on the track!

Hoping you guys are gonna come out guns-a-blazing with the new sport unit!!!

 

[speedracer]

why not do both classes ?800 and 1000!

 

[dmurray]

we could always race our 800 in the 1000 class!!!! Maybe we can get lucky and podium. now that’s marketing!!! <O</O

 

[MAGNUM OFFROAD]

Now that would be badass!!!

 

[Brian B]

If this new release from Can-Am offers at the very least an easier platform to build HP, I will be joining you guys with a Lonestar "Commander" <----- I'm assuming?

Both parties came up big time with this deal! Congrats to all!
