Identical opening to the above post LOL.
Took all year, but I finally got my taper lock sprockets and HD chain installed a couple weeks ago.
Race 1 this season, i rolled it on the hill climb in a big way. top to bottom, a time and a half over ... later found out i had a major frame crack on the right rear trailing arm mount framework, think that issue helped cause the roll. Finished 6th place at the checkered flag.
Race 2, had a flat tire while still on the trailer ...never ran
Race 3, the biggie of the season and she rolled off on me while I was unloading the jeep. smashed under another trailer and wasted the left front shock. didn't run the main event.
Sunday came with the short obstacle head to head races and after smacking the front bumper with a sledge a few times to get it clear of the steering rack, i decided to send it folded shock and all.
6 rounds and took home my first piece of line mtn hardware in 6 years!
1ST IN utv.

Got some winter work upgrade plans once i scrape up enough coin to rebuild the shock (main tube, head cap and valve piston)--pretty sure i cracked the while racing, kept getting stuck in up travel along with occasional steering lock up.
