It is not a Planet Sand Record Holder, even though Newton recently was certified as a PS track/PSDRA official track.
In order to get PS record, you must run at one of their two official events, Either Gilbert in the spring or AVI in the fall.
That came right from PS himself.
PS does not recognize this as a record. They are promoting the time, which is VERY, Very impressive to say the least and hats off to the whole crew, driver, etc.
I've always been one for rule changes to reflect what's going on currently in the sport.
I applaud the snowmobile guys for as fast as they're going, etc., but I don't think they should be in the same classes as someone who has to manually shift gears...override or not.
Let me rephrase...
In heads up...fine, run what ya brung cc for cc. But any kind of bracket racing or index racing....the classes should be further refined.
I know...I know, that will create more classes, require more effort to organize, etc.
But I know there are plenty of us who ride ATV based motors/frames etc. that feel the same way....
Again, not knocking the Wild thing crew...great job!!!!
