RACE RECAP | A STORY IN PHOTOS
2021 brought us a shorter BITD Parker 250 racecourse despite one additional lap.

KNOWING WHEN TO BACK DOWN
The most common cause of death for a belt is heat. But, from the factory most UTVs don’t have a way to monitor belt temp, even though it is every bit as crucial as engine temp.
