2008 Rhino 700 EFI UTV |
Morgantown, WV (10/19/2007)
- Here's the latest on the debut race for
the big machines next weekend at the Ironman.
Four classes:
0-700 cc Limited
(Stock, allows for changes to tires, wheels, bumpers
and skid plates, air box and exhaust. No suspension
or internal motor mods allowed—no motor
mods besides airbox/filter and exhaust)
0-700cc Modified (Run what you
brung, just keep it under 700cc)
701-850cc Limited (Stock, allows for changes
to tires, wheels, bumpers and skid plates, air
box and exhaust. No suspension or internal motor
mods allowed—no motor mods besides airbox/filter
and exhaust)
701-850cc Modified (Run what
you brung, just keep it between 700 and 850cc)
We are aware that ignition mods are big on the
Rhinos to get more speed. We're not sure if they
belong in the Limited or Mod class or not. Help
us out and let us know what you think.
All classes require a driver and passenger, but
we will not switch drivers during the race. Whoever
starts the race driving will finish it driving.
Starts will be dead engine.
Seatbelts and roll cages are required on all
vehicles (no Gators)
No golf carts.

UTV's
such as Polaris' 2008 Ranger RZR Side by
Side will be allowed to compete in the final
round of the GNCC Series |
Foot restraints or doors are required on all
machines.
Feel free to wear a Halloween costume during
the race—remember this is for fun!
We're doing our best to develop a real GNCC-style
course with trees, hills and mud. Remember, narrower
is better for that type of terrain, although we
should be able to fit Rhinos with extended A-arms
and revised tire/wheel packages. You'll lose some
mobility for sure, though!
We are awaiting a ruling on a possible age minimum
for participants.
The entry fee per machine is the traditional
$40 (so split that between driver and passenger
and race cheap!)
That's it for now. Good luck next weekend
