Golf cart beats TT’s at SS 300

[Dangler]

Anyone else happen to notice that a golf cart was second overall at silver state? What’s up with that haha? And if the geiser car didn’t have issues there 100% would have been 2 golf carts on the box. Don’t hate, congratulate 🏁👌🏽

Super interesting. My thoughts are that the course was extra soft and technical. Considering a Class 1 took top box there must have been a lot of soft tight turns that made it hard for the 2wd TT's to get back to speed.

Stoked for the Goft carts at this race, but they weren't even close to this type of finish at the SF where it's mostly flat out whoops. Looks like the closest UTV at that race was 45th overall.

RDC is having a meltdown.

UTV's have gotten fast and I expect to see more enter into Class 1.

This was the ideal course for a sxs, technical stuff the sxs will dominate but like you mentioned long wide open stuff is their weakness. Still impressive as fuck for something built for a fraction of the price. We folks are experiencing a big change in off-road racing

Now the snowflakes are calling for a MINIMUM WEIGHT in the UNLIMITED CLASS.

Ridiculous.

added weight will kill the carts speed, so that wont work.
I can see a weight issue being a class one comes up on a golf cart at speed that seems dangerous. But they know the risk they are taking

in a course like they ran, 4wd will still be king and nimbleness of the smaller car. weights going to hurt things but its not going to be the equalizer unless we are talking about adding somthing like 1500lbs MORE to a car. either way, its rediculous on an "unlimited" class. thats the whole point of the class.

i agree 100% that rules are dumb in an unlimited class... but rich guys create rules so they can win. Thats why they formed these classes, now they are butthurt their money didnt win this race. lol
