Racing!

[Coastal]

Just thinking out loud and wondering if anyone in a side x side would be interested in racing up at the whispering pines track this season? We just build a brand new track, its really smooth with safe jumps, wide banked corners and lots of room. Whispering Pines is located in Kamloops, BC.

We would have to come up with some basic safety regulations for you guys, im not totally sure how they are typically setup for harnesses etc.

Basically you would need 4 UTV's for a class. The more the merrier!

Here is some UTV racing from down south:

And a few pictures from our track:

Here is one of our track testers while we were building things its quite dusty since we were literally building the track that day!

Some inside corner persuasion to make this a multi line track:

Corner 1:

Pick a line!

Clay nailing the soft double....he had it pinned to make it!

New front straight and a new table top on the front straight!

Ya for sure,

604-690-4357 is my number. My names Rob.



As far as classes, it really depends on how many guys want to race, we require 4 for a class, so you could potentially have a stock class and an unlimited class.
