Well it runs good again. Makes all the right noises, and all the feely goods when I mash the throttle, no check engine light, no misfire. Gotta change the oil again and it’s time to race again already. Leaving for Moab next Wednesday
5th place. Best results I’ve ever had in this thing. Car is going home in the best condition it’s ever left a race in. Good day, dad won the 4500 class today as well.
Car is looking good! Are there rock piles on the track or is it a true short course race?All prepped up again and ready for the next race. This is season 3 on this car and I’m finally headed for the first race that I had in mind when I built the car in the first place. Prairie City OHV Rancho Cordova Ca, popular NorCal short course track. Lightened it up as much as I could, added “tree kickers” hoping that keeps competitors from putting me on my lid by hooking tires.
Gonna run this one solo SLOWPOKE693 style. I’ll pull the pass seat when I get there. Taking it with me just in case a big titty brunette wants a ride.
It’s got rock piles. At least 3, one is an alley with jagged boulders embedded in it. The other two are boulders piled in between walls made out of K rail.Car is looking good! Are there rock piles on the track or is it a true short course race?

I sure hope there is, and there are pics to prove it.Gonna run this one solo SLOWPOKE693 style. I’ll pull the pass seat when I get there. Taking it with me just in case a big titty brunette wants a ride.
That’s what it looked like. Then Jason was following your line and slapped the wall also. Tough breaks all around.
Wheels were turned, it just kept sliding over 🤦🏻♂️ . We all drifted in the mud. The dude right behind me hit the same thing I did. The dude next to me on my left was Brian Crofts, he came all the way over into my lane. Not like I was going to be there for him to hit me. I was ready for him to drift into me, I wasn’t ready to drift all the way off the map. I don’t know what I should’ve done differently, idle through, or punch it and hit the guy on my left. Anything differently than what I did would have been preferable in hindsight. I’m beat the hell up now, got the full body bruises where the seatbelts had to hold me in the seat during the shit whip.WTF was that, you forget to turn? 🤔

I don’t use a containment seat. I do wear a NEX-GEN head and neck restraint and I wear a neck roll that goes with the HANR. Glad I had that stuff on yesterdayI'm glad your OK, that looked rough. Do you wear a helmet restraint or do those mess with your field of vision doing the rock racing thing?
Guy behind you looked like he literally followed your line right into the wall.
All standard turbo S stuff. I think it’s better than the “long travel kit” stuff for an XPT. you only have to modify one tab up front that’s actually fab work. You don’t have to swap the front diff to run the S suspension.JR4X did you use standard Turbo S arms, radius rods and trailing arms on this build and just redo your front arm tabs on the frame? I am wanting to do a LT kit but if I can just buy Turbo S arms, radius rods and trailing arms it might be easier than dealing with a "kit".
By standard I meant nothing special about them other than aftermarket regular Turbo S geometry and make it work on the XP chassis.
yep it “just” unbolts and drops out. It’s a PITA but doable with an engine hoist and a keg for a stand. Haven’t touched this thing in a while, been way more concerned about the Bronco. That frame section new from Polaris is $2,000 bucks. It took a little work but got it straight square and welded up better than new. So stuck it back in. Can’t believe it’s already been over 7 months since the yard sale. Got the sub frame back in and been sticking a piece or two on when I have a minute.Am I seeing that right, the front clip unbolts?
The Honda, YXZ and Can Am frames are one piece and require a whole new frame to fix front clip damage. That's pretty slick on Polaris part to make it replaceable in sections.
