Sometimes, winching is faster.
When you’re in a race, it’s hard to image spending the time to winch could pay off. However, that’s the beauty of Ultra4 racing, sometimes winching is the best option. Erik Miller chose to winch the rock quarry hill on his last lap, having shot right up it laps prior. Why? Broken vehicles in his path had him on a line not typically taken. Rather than risk damage, he opted to hook the winch up and continue on. Erik started the day at the end of the pack, and finished in 6th place.
