Recap of the 2023 Mint 400 from Team SPEED UTV

[@drewsXR650L]

Perhaps a walk through of what was production vs what was race parts. Would be interesting to know the differences and why they were needed. Awesome stress test for the Speed UTV!

[@FamilyFlippers]

How cool father and son living out their dreams while racing their own cars that has Can am and RZR so concerned.

[@gary3046]

These are niche cars; I doubt that Can Am and Polaris are too concerned. It will be nice when (if?) owners actually get their cars after waiting nearly 3 years.

[@darrellhiatt1719]

Interesting as they all three had 999 cc motors for class originally. I think Pro R went to 1300 or 1400 cc 4 cylinder. Gordon says he’ll drop a V8 LS7 in a limited run of cars at 700 horsepower. The classes have to have rules or they will be like 1 cars and trophy trucks imho. Are they 999cc or open?

@@gary3046 you go out and build race production cars, and come to me with a finished product in 3 years please 😊

[@R.D.K608]

​@@darrellhiatt1719I think the new pro r is a 2 liter. 2000cc. While the x3 is still a 900cc motor. I would hate to see how long it would take robbie to deliver those LS model speed utv's.😬

[@darrellhiatt1719]

@@R.D.K608 I think the car ( 8th Mint 400 stock) n LS 7 (ZR6 Corvette motor)is developed from history. I dont like how you use the word “hate”- who does but snowflakes? Sad actually. Open class is open per can-am n Polaris- hence LS7. I’m not a fan, but promoters allowing it appears. So why not a big fat LS7 ? Why spend energy on Hate? How about being pro American with “bring on competition so we stay #1”? Your boy Biden doing a # on us - hater. But always, have a a good day.

[@kevinp2820]

Those look and sound so good out on the track!

[@turbof350]

Solid race! Good job!

[@chriskocienski3601]

Such an awesome video, I have high hopes for speed. I hope there west coast style cars sell good so they can start producing east coast style cars. I was a huge fan of robbys work on the wild Cat xx and I hope he produces a 64 inch wide car for us east coasters

[@craigtuck1741]

good job , they look really good

[@jamesvolpe2186]

By far the best looking cars out there. Way too go SPEED UTV

[@hectorgonzalezmoreno]

Thanks

[@KC-7mm]

Great job max.

[@adrenalinejunkiesVegas]

We really want one for our fleet!

[@Rs-fi2uf]

Bad ass car and would like to buy one but when there race car breaks left and right i think quality control needs to step it up !!!!

[@stevemartin5364]

Nice Kid !

[@drewsXR650L]

Awesome video! Thanks!!

[@hugoayonrosas5832]

Thanks

[@christopher8834]

Awesome video and recap. It sounds like there is a lot to address unfortunately. This car should be able to travel this course for 2000 miles without fail realistically.

[@SpeedUTV]

Yeah, that's not how racing works.

[@christopher8834]

@@SpeedUTV I hate to say it but my old 2017 RZR has over 3000 miles on it and no part has ever failed. I have taken my car through the snow in the mountains, on a race course and jumped it as fast as I could at Hang Town for about 30 minutes at a time, been through the dunes at Pismo, climbed the biggest mountains at Walker River, and went through miles of whoops, rocks, and washes in NV, northern Ca, and Havasu. I have never bent a suspension part, broken an axle, belt, etc. My car has always gotten me home. Comparing my suspension the the Speed Car, there should be no reason that a lower a-arm fails like it did in this race on your car unless, 1) it was wrecked, 2) inferior materials and/or welding process, or 3) the car is too heavy for the design. I am a fan of Speed, I love the car, but I need to know that when I go on a ride, it’s going to get me home. One thing I would suggest, is that you adapt a higher-lever Quality Assurance Management system such as ISO-9001. Your competitor, Polaris is currently certified to this standard. From the looks of the cars delivered so far, there isn’t a good QA program in place. Door latches not adjusted properly, peeling decals, marred suspension components from tooling, etc. Again, I want Speed to kick some ass and it is a heck of a car.

[@jackgeiger9652]

Ummm, not at race speed. Maybe at your pace. I'm still waiting to see video of your rig on course.

[@vinciangkang8883]

Norra 500 utv

[@joseacuna3294]

Good Job Speed Team. So what actually happened to the lower front arm on Max car? Where did it break?

[@markmiller8622]

At the knuckle he said

[@izom]
