Yes sir! All that's left is to color sand and buff the roof, install rear lights in roof and install roof, powder coat the front bumper and the wheels for the paddles, finish making the fiberglass front grille piece. Should be done in I hope 2 weeks max.

The schedule above still lists the UTV Fest today at Windsor 4 -- I know that's not correct -- where is it? Out at Standard Wash?

YUP, that's a bummer... Just confirmed, the Festival is at Standard Wash. Maybe they struggled with the city and permits (?). Makes for a little bit longer drive. Have Fun peeps!

It was the AZ State Parks office in Phoenix that did an about-face on me at the last minute and several other October and November scheduled events for Windsor 4 including the UTV Festival. No indication how going forward into 2021 will be handled.

I think its great that this was not completely cancelled. However I am a little surprised that there isn't more interest in it. It has a lot to offer for the industry. I have to miss it but I think it has the potential of being a really good thing in the future. Keep up the good work!

It was in Texas on the truck with Gordon’s race car. It will probably be there today (Friday) at some point.

Gordon was doing some qualifying theatrics today not having his race car on site.

He is not going to race the Speed UTT...it would be foolish at this point with no testing. He mentioned it would be pretty embarrassing if it broke or didn't perform as expected.

Drove by it yesterday and it seemed like there were lots of booths set up.....and lots of "Grey Poupon" camping.

If you are on FB, look up UTV World Championship. They have been giving updates along with videos on their page.

PCI and Pro Eagle have as well.

My truck is more of a garage and pavement queen. 4wd has been reserved for the slick afternoon ramp of Windsor. I guess that’s why my wife calls it my Barbie truck. Maybe I can shed that title today. 🤣

What do you mean lack of interest? It's pretty much the only thing everyone is talking about in town?

Yeah. Town is thriving right now. I was referring to the vibe here in the lounge and GCC.

Best watching spot? Best time? Whos going?

I'm going to head out in about 30 minutes. I'm still undecided on the best spot. There is a big hill to come over before the finish, thats right at the end of the last parking lot. I also have the whole course on my phone, So i might see where else I can drive to get a higher vantage point. I'm not really familiar with that area. I'll toss my easy up, some chairs, and the cooler in the truck if anybody wants to join me. The wife is out of town, so I'm solo.
