There may have been a different belt drive used in last year’s mod. It wouldn’t have the issue of the production one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely mind blowing is what the race department said.

It's kinda noisy in here... I called them at 3:05pm CST this afternoon and asked WTF?! I demanded that Hayes, Rager & Wilzcek all get on the speaker phone at once and explain this bullshit. What happened is the 9R Boost got held back a year as marketing saw some really bad snowcheck forecasts over the weekend. They had to scramble and take the entire website down today to make very last minute changes to scrub any mention the 9R Boost. They are hoping for snow and to bring it out in ‘26. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 8 hours ago, krom said: so a system that monitors breaking, acceleration (in all directions) and several other factors, then adjusts all 4 shocks 200 times a second, isn't even close to one you set on low and never touch all season??? shouldn't those say Walker Evans on them? what's the back story there?
