So I was listening to this week’s podcast and you mentioned the poly performance (synergy?) sector shaft brace on your Jeep, and was curious what made you decide to use that? When I was researching that I got mixed reviews basically leading me to the conclusion that it was a stop gap to eventually having hydro assist which was the only true cure to this issue. Thoughts? Just curious

Main Topic: Racecar on a budget

Want to race in the limited classes of ULTRA4 Racing?
Smittybilt Everyman Challenge and 4500-4800 races throughout the season are our limited classes!

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help make it happen!

1.Make sure your vehicle meets our tech rules and you have proper safety equipment.
There are three classes racing in the EMC which runs on a modified course the day before KOH itself. Classes are Stock (4600), Modified (4500) and Legend (4800). You do not need to pre-qualify for the EMC but your vehicle must meet the tech and safety requirements outlined here: http://ultra4racing.com/racers/rulebook/. See Section 6.3 for Stock, Section 6.4 for Modified, and Section 6.4.11 for Legend.

2. Create a driver profile at www.ultra4racing.com/races and register.
You have a couple of options when registering for the race, specifically whether to commit to signing up for an entire Regional Series as well as KOH or not. If you choose to sign up for a Series as well as KOH, you will receive significant savings throughout the year compared to those who enter race by race. See the race entry pages for more information.
The race registration process is straight forward, but should you get stuck, we have created these step-by-step registration instructions. If you already registered to race with ULTRA4 before, please use the same login and password. If you have any questions registering, please email Shannon Welch at Shannon@ultra4racing.com

3. Pay for your race
The address to send checks to and online payment options are all available once you have registered online and signed up for the event.

4. Sign up for USAC Insurance
All drivers and co-drivers MUST have either annual or single use USAC insurance purchased. Pre-purchasing your USAC insurance online saves tons of time on site. Costs are still being determined and will be emailed to already registered drivers once they are known.

5. Be prepared for additional mandatory costs
At KOH there will be additional mandatory costs (including USAC insurance mentioned above) including but not limited to: IRC trackers, pit crew bands, tech fee (included in an annual USAC membership, or charged separate if not paying for an annual USAC membership). Payment and pricing for these costs will be emailed to you as they are known.

6. Show up and race!
See you soon.

Pending you had a 10K budget, how would you build your rig?

Hello from the grain belt of Saskatchewaun Canada been a listener from the first podcast I have a question being I run a full size full size a k30 long box with lockers cross over steering and 37s and all the rest that goes with it what I would like to know is whether a truck of that size would make it through the rubicon as I’m thinking of loading up my k30 and my wife’s samurai and making a holiday of it and also I think a show all on full size trucks would be interesting too hear as I know your brother is in the full size club thanks for a great show and keep it up makes for a interesting listen

Thanks Steve

Ok, so two things. One, the podcast from the app doesn’t automatically roll onto the next episode . Had to switch to a different platform. (listened to all the episodes in less than two weeks)

Two, the app should have a notification to phone option, so when someone responds to your post it will send a flash or pop-up to your phone window.

Side note… Greg saying granted sounds like he’s saying granite… Ocd kicks in. Love listening everyday, well now only twice a week 😂
