[QUOTE="NIKAL, post: 1839265, member: 2103"] I don’t know if TT’s have really helped the sport? What have they done to better the sport as a whole? Off road desert racing was always about the challenge. Man & machine vs the environment. The old saying of just finishing Baja is no longer the saying anymore. It was not just about pure speed like it is today with the modern TT. The biggest problem I see with the sport is it’s no longer politically correct. The idea that we use gas guzzling 800+ hp monsters with big tires & suspension, literally digging up the earth is not what todays Corporations want to be known or tied too. The Liberal agenda will boycott those companies and make headlines that the Corps don’t want to be apart of. If anything I think the UTV market & classes will do more to help the sport then the TT’s have. Just look at what they have done in a short amount of time. Go to the Sand Sport Show this weekend and you will see the strength in the UTV market. You will never see that with the TT. I’m surprised a manufacturer has not tied itself to Robby’s SST. SST showcases off road in very controlled environment that the masses can come to and see, and with the series piggy backing on other series only helps new eyes see the sport. [/QUOTE]
