[QUOTE="Pumpkin, post: 364100, member: 285"] How many build a rig just to race? Most if not all at least go to non comp rides or just go riding with friends on private rides. I understand everyone has stripped down everything they haul in their rigs, some carry all that stuff in a side x side (either theirs or someone else’s). Most of these rigs go places a normal rig cannot go without a winch. What do they do when they get in a place like that and none of them have a winch? Or the one with a winch gets into a situation that he needs help from a friend? A winch is not just for you, it is there to help your wheeling friends out. I do not race, so I’m not sure that I understand why or how 50 to 100 extra is really going to hurt you in a race. Like I said, I don’t race so that is just my opinion. There are a lot of times in a race that if the rig has a winch, it is a lot easier and quicker to use it then bring one in off a recovery rig. Driver and spectators all wish for things to speed up and keep moving along with the competition. As part of the AOP recovery team, we will always try our best to have rigs at all the trouble spots. We will also do our best to keep the competition moving along. But as we all know every situation is different. When drivers put it all on the line, things can go haywire. Like I said I don't race, so this is just my opinion. I have never claimed to be normal. :****: [/QUOTE]
