Four to Go Racing took to the high plains in Broadview, MT at the Jim & Tracy's Wild West Shoot Out, put on by Y.O.R.R.  Four to Go Racing took our two Arctic Cat Wild Cat X's to compete in the UTV class. The Wildcats are all Arctic Cat factory stock, with the exception of safety upgrades.

Four to Go Racing took to the track on Friday afternoon for a pre run of the course.  Don the driver of the #0 Wildcat miss judged a whoops section and had a issue that caused the #0 Wildcat to be a scratch for the race.  It was a good thing we had a Warn winch to assist in the recovery of the Wildcat.   Four to Go Racing will make necessary repairs and have the #0 Wildcat back in action soon.

Dick, driver of the #6 Wildcat and veteran racer, completed his pre run made some adjustments topped it off with fuel and prepared for the 140 mile race.
The UTV race started at 8:00 pm.  Dick started mid pack and went out and ran his race early, found his pace and rhythm. As the second lap finished darkness was setting in, thankfully we had a Quake LED light bar to light up the darkness,  the rugged course was starting to take its toll on the competition.  Dick stopped for fuel on the beginning of lap 4, fueled the Wildcat and had a bit of an issue with a fire and some very tense moments.  Thankfully we were able to put the fire out and continue along.  As the fifth and final lap began it was now getting close to midnight and the crisp cool air was really cooling off. A bit chilled and covered in mud, Dick finished at 12:25 am and ended up in fifth place, a great run and testament to finding a way to keep moving forward. 

Four to Go Racing had a great experience with the YORR folks and will definitely go back.
