Maryhill is a unique race when it comes to equipment. Being a tough course to break away from the pack, competitors are pushed to search for an extra edge in their gear. It is common for racers to utilize a smaller wheelbase and/or narrow trucks to maximize maneuverability and grip. Past results have shown favor towards more track custom setups, but there has always been a variety of setups in the final heats. Lets look at some setups from top contenders.
