There is a 100 mile race in goldendale washington and im thinking about running over there and having some fun and giving it a chance. Any ideas where a v6 powered rockcrawler would fit into?

In your case, probably 1st.

HAHA! Damn i just noticed i put this in the wrong forum.

Sportsman or class 1

Typically Sportsman. But most buggies will not pass tech in most desert orgs as a 1.5" cage will not pass.

well its not being put on by a major organization. I already asked and they are allowing regular fuel cells (dont have to have a bladder cell). As long as your safety equipment is up to date (nets, 5 points, fire suit, and helmet. your good. Lance what if its 1.50 chromoly?

I think the rule is over 2500lbs it has to be 1 3/4"? Over 4k has to be 2"?

thanks good to know. This is just a short course race 10laps at 10 miles each.

We're close to finalizing an agreement with Casey Folks and BITD to allow KOH style cars race in their own class at BITD races.

The only sticking point left is tech. I will let everyone know as soon as we've worked out the details.
