I heard you had to go back to your pit and change your own flat, is that true?
Im thinking of being a designated hotpit for a few people.

I had heard the samething and even saw it on a video a guy was showing at the track that night.
Was a hectic weekend for me. A buddy that was schedule to fly in n ride w me to Glen Helen got his flight cancelled because of snow in Seattle. So I traveled alone. Never had a tire issue. Don't have 5 tires in wheel that match. So I went without help and or a spare 
. I actually got so much mud n rocks packed in the wheel that a rock punched through inside of the wheel. I limped around to the timing line to see how much time remained. 22 minutes... I wasn't going to drive on a flat for that long so I drove back to my pit. Got out and took off my gear. My cousin from riverside that was there watching me walked over about 5min later yelling at me for not having a spare, asking if I could "borrow" one from someone.... Well the only person I felt comfortable with doing that was RJ a fellow Holz racer. I went and got a spare from him and my cousin bolted it on while I strapped back in. I went out did another lap and finished 23rd. RJ of course being an awesome sportsman was very cool about the whole deal. I will not go alone again. And will have a prepared pit plan. I had a good run going and nothing to show for it.. Looking forward to getting up front w my Carl's Cycle Holz, Walker Evans XP at Primm!

Well if you need help in the future Ill be providing hotpit for Code & Justin, I got a bitchin set of tools.....
i didnt even know where pits were at glen helen thank goodness i didnt need it i will make sure i have someone with jack tools ect in pit area at primm
Maybe we can get people to put numbers on their spare tire in the pits and if they dont have the help that way people willing to help them can change the tire. The UTV family is a great group and people are always willing to help others out even if they are in the same class. Maybe after the race buy a beer for the guys that changed your tire.
Thanks Doug n Chris. This is cool. We all put in a lot of time n $ to run. And to have our one race ruined by a flat is heartbreaking. Glad we brought this up. Seems the hot pit will be fully staffed come Primm. Very cool.
On this subject what do u guys do for your jack? I'm having to stack a bunch of blocks on my jack to get my XP off the ground. I want to build one solid block w a handle on it for quick use. What are you using?

They didn't do anything they listed. Their podium did not happen. They still have not posted results, there was no fund. I don't know what is going on with WORCS. Disorganized in my opinion.
Not sure if anyone mentioned it but we (VanBeekum) were DQed for remote pitting. We had no idea there was a designated pit at Glen Helen or any worcs race
Also Nolan was also DQed for this I believe...

Funds weren't supposed to start until Lake Havasu!
As for results, I am figuring that the fact that the transponders quit has something to do with no results.....trying to find out....
Joey they didn't work last race either. The transponder said I had 3 laps last race I broke on my 5th lap and the guys that broke down behind me came in a place in front of me. I passed them before they broke and I was behind them the whole race. WORCS wanted 25 dollars more to contest. I
