"The New East Coast XC" race series

Crystal and I drove over to New Berg, WV this afternoon to watch the new race series called "The New Eat Coast XC" They have 6 of their races scheduled to have UTV classes with today being the first one. They only had six entries in this race but it looked like fun. Only 2 finished, I think 2 busted tires, one smoked the engine, not sure what happened to the other one. I'm thinking of doing the next one for fun, anyone interested?











This last one is a short video, takes a while to drop the flag, they had to back the crowd up. Click on the pic to play.

What is this series called?

The New East Coast XC. I know you don't have to say it I did too.

Here is their web site, not much of a web page yet either. www.theneweastcoastxc.com

Come on James, I told Crystal today that your Rhiny would whoop some ass at these races.

from the amount that finished the race, it sounds like you could just keep pace, and be careful. should be able to place if not win lol. gota finishe to win lol.

I think you are right. People think getting to the front, and running the guy in front of them down asap is the ticket, but there's to many things in the woods to take you out. If it's multiple laps, I would be conservative on the 1st, and learn where all the bad stuff was. After that, race the track, and not the others til the end. Darrel Waltrip says "don't beat yourself".

Looks like some fun

You're right Hump. The format for the race is run for 1 hour. I guessing each lap took about 7 minutes for the leaders. I think if you can just keep pace and keep the leaders in sight and be patient you would do ok. Looked to me some of the folks were riding way over their ability or their machines ability.

The wife and I went to the GNCC race in SC last month and she loved watching the utv's race and is dying to try it.I would love to try it sometime but I would hate to tear the rzr up just to do it for one race. The GNCC race the old Honda Pilots too.

It looks like fun! A one hour race is a bit like a demo derby to see who's left. I'd do it if there were X lap heats and a X+ final.

I SEE OLE FINZUP IS NOT READY FOR AARP YET AGAIN THIS YEAR.

Nope. Cancelled my membership . . . bunch of socialist commies.

I think with SxS's that heavily modified and only 33% didn't break.....I don't want any part of that. Would be fun to watch though.
