Shannon Campbell Wins King of the Hammers UTV Race

Polaris racers take top five spots
This year’s King of the Hammers (KOH) saw 75 side-by-sides, with most being Polaris RZRs, lining up for the toughest off-road race in the world. When the dust settled, RZRs would take the top five spots and seven of the top 10.
This year’s KOH was a family affair with newly signed Polaris Factory Racer Shannon Campbell taking “The Hammer,” and his son Wayland finishing second. Shannon’s daughter Bailey also raced going toe-to-toe with her father in the beginning of the race. She ended up finishing 15th. All three raced RZR XP Turbo EPS vehicles. Shannon dominated the race and finished almost 15 minutes ahead of Wayland.
“My RZR is one of the most incredible vehicles I’ve ever driven,” said Shannon Campbell. “It is much more-nimble on the KOH course than my Ultra 4 truck.”

Shim and Purple Secondary Spring Mod & fuel consumption
My question is, How has this effected you fuel consumption? My wife has a 2011 700 EPS with 26" zillas, and I’m running a 2014 700 EPS with the same tires and rims. I drive quite a bit harder than she does and I usually have atleast 1/4 tank of fuel left when she needs to ad fuel. My grizzly is easier on fuel than anyone other bike that I go biking with, except for one buddy who also drives a 2014 700 EPS.
I’m thinking of putting a 1 mm shim and the purple secondary shim on my bike ( just for a little more bottom end power), but I don’t want to burn alot more fuel because I frequently run over 100 miles when I go out and there’s not always the option of buying more fuel on the trail. Yes I do carry a 10 liter (2.5 gallon) fuel jug with me when I go.
I’m just curious whether this burns more fuel or not, because I used to have a Suzuki 700 Twin Peaks with 27" mud lites and when I put a Dalton Clutch kit in that (for over-sized tires) it made it about 30% harder on fuel.
