Looks like Super Bowl at Boulder with the amount of travel they had to negotiate going up the hill. Lol.

When you dealing with that type of speed and the conditions that race was run under the biggest variable is the nut behind the wheel. People coming down a hill while racing up a moguls like could spell disaster. That has happened many time's with sleds. Those machines are really flying though it will be interesting watching them live in the Baja 1000.

shoot.. not just the baja 1000.... the BITD series.... Best in the Desert has many more races that are all on FB sites from the pro teams down there... i have been watching all year already with 7 races done... Reno to Vegas... MINT 400 .... Baja 500.... and many more... these machines work very well in these races and the drivers dont have many accidents either... there are no races that are run on a professional rank that have machines going up a hill and some coming down the same hill... does not happen... that is just pleasure riding by idiots in the desert that meet at speed in a blind spot like a hill....

Glamis is a whole lotta fun / but really dangerous .. You need your head on a swivel...
Rails are doing 90+ all over the frickin place ...
Lenny I love a good race ....
No matter what wins ....

So don't get all pouty again
Lol.
That is Oldsmobile hill , it's a lot bigger than it looks ....
Tons of room there ... It's the crest of the hills you need to be weary of !

It's steep at the top but not crazy ... It's just long , & and full of whoops to start .
It sucks every ounce of power out of your machine ....that's for sure !

the people i am going with have 4 races under there belt I believe and have raced in the baja 3 times I believe and the reno to vegas in 2015 I believe. There were quite a few accidents in the last race they were in mexico but that may include all classes.

yes I understand I am asking if My guess is correct that the one in the race is the wide version based on the closeup at the beginning. I have seen the 64 and they look cool but I think that is the 72 and it looks awesome.

It's a 64 ... The 72 would be much faster through the whoops....

Ok it just looks wider than the rzr and the x3's also taller but that could be the tires that give it that illusion.
