Thank for posting my video. I appreciate it. I was glad to hear any rumors of not having the race go away. Jeff was cool about any questions I wanted to ask.
We'll have our RZR-S ready for the race. I can't wait to get it out there, and I'm definitely up for congregating together somewhere at Hammer Town with side by sides. It will be cool to meet you guys out there. HCR is doing my suspension and tuning, so my RZR will probably be hanging around his pit.

The biggest problem is the place gets absolutely packed. Really need to have everyone take some extra time off and get there well before the UTV race. There is a ton going on during the week, and if you find yourself bored with LCQ, etc, for the buggy race, you can just go for a ride. Awesome place for UTVs to explore.

Has there been a contingency listing or prize listing yet for the UTV Race?

Jon said he's going to go out Monday. I am going to get there either Monday or Tuesday, depending on work...
I think having an area set up for the SXS crowd would be great.

1. Craig: 35 ft Toyhauler. 1 rhino.

Great time today! Anyone planning to race is going to have a blast! Expect some of the challenges of the first year with a great mix of open desert and technical transfer sections with fewer whoops then in the past. These pictures might look nasty but if wasn't for a couple of driving errors and a front diff that wouldn't lock we would have been much better off. The good news is Jeff really is learning the potential of SXS's (especially the Teryx) and that is good for us as a community.
Jeff and Hammer King Productions have gone out of their way to make this event awesome for the UTV community so don't miss out.
It is our plan to have a large area set aside for the UG compound that is slightly off the beaten path. The Underground flag will be raised on friday night and will be there all week. Joey will post up the Google map location when we know we have the prime spot.
Kawasaki Team Green will be on hand at the event and available to any Teryx team that needs emergency parts or technical advice.
Bring on the Hammers!

Only existing UTV/ATV CVT Transmission Engines allowed. Brute Force and Rotax are the only 2 motors I think anyone can expect to see. NO STREET BIKE MOTORS! If your shifting gears you will not be allowed to race. If you only have 2wd you wont want to race anyway.

12-16-2010, 09:42 PM
Oh WOW, pumped, this is going to be the best race of the year by far...
Thanks for all the attention and work Jeff, Reid, Joey and others...

Guess we wont see the boys with the Redline then. They had a tough time last year in 2WD.

Nothing but respect for what a slightly modified UTV can do in the rocks, and even more for the co driver/navigator/spotters who will do the heavy lifting during the UTV race.
I had a total blast riding and spotting Reid yesterday, I wish I could race. The UTV race was something I personally wanted to see improvement on over the last two years. I have not prerun a KOH course in one shot since 2008, until this UTV race course came along.
We went old school on the course layout. KOH course mapping is done via computer now as we have tons of files on the JV area and have a pretty extensive knowledge of what the Ultra4 cars can do.
For the UTV race course I can tell you I have spent more time on the ground doing recon. Using our computer files, and backing it up with actual runs around the course I think that this is by far the best of the three race courses.
I think the winner will finish in just over 2 hours, the average will be around 3 hours and the guys left running will come in around 4 hours. 3 hours may not seem like a long time behind the wheel, but your spotter will be happy its over. After the last rock trail I was pretty much done with stacking rocks and running around on them.
Some pointers;
Our Warn Winch saved us a number of times during our course testing. You can see in the photo's Joey posted that even his sneak peak required us to use the winch. You will want a winch and a good rope.
Warn will be on hand in Hammertown They are a series sponsor, but really the only choice for your winching needs.
Get a spotter thats in good shape. If your idea of training is a 12 pack of beer and a pizza, you might want to reconsider racing to win and be satisfied with a finish. The spotter will be key.
Make sure you UTV is in top shape. To date we have had no failures of the different Kawasaki's we have been using. A couple scratches, and a lost muffler is the extent of damage done from multiple runs around the course.
I am just learning the UTV market, but I am pretty sure the worst you could see would be a belt failure, maybe a cv or shaft if you get out of control in the rocks.
Have fun be safe and know your personal limits. This event is the largest Competitive event on BLM land in California. In light of the Ca200 all eyes will be on us. We need the entire community to come together for this event and make sure the BLM knows we are willing to follow the rules.
Please apply peer pressure to those who are not, and remind them that the future of this and other events swings in the balance. maintain a safe distance from the race course if you are coming out to watch, use common sense, dont drive on a hot race course, don't try and touch the race cars, and please don't drink and drive. Keep your drinking in your camp, or get a ride into hammertown.
We have had to hire an extremely large amount of LEO, and I would hate for your week to end early with a ride to the station for a DUI.
Because I can not keep up with all the sites we have created an email newsletter, you can sign up at the bottom left hand corner of the newsletter. I have inserted a link for a preview.
Please bare with us on information we are running behind due to all the Flaming hoops the BLM wanted us to jump through.
We can still use some help with volunteers for the UTV race manning check points, sweep, pulling up course markers ect, so if you are interested please make yourself known. we have a pretty cool Volunteer program, that gets you a free meal, a raffle, a shirt and a discount on all merchandise so if your interested let us know.
Last I would like to thank Reid and Kawasaki. If any person is to thank for making the UTV race better its Reid for his commitment to this race. without the demo units we could not have made it this great. Reid taught me what they can do with multiple trips out to JV. That is really tells me that Kawasaki truly supports racing.
See you all in February. Its gonna be a wild week.

My brother and I will be running a Rhino in the UTV class on Thursday.
I will also be co-driving for Team Smiley Racing as be won our way into Friday's big show by winning the Badland's Qualifier. We are really excited to be going out to California again after last years disappointing DNF during the big race with Joint Force Racing.

Jon's car weighs in at 1399lbs. with 4 gallons of fuel, but without spare tire, aluminum sides, jack and tools.
Pretty good for a race car with full cage, running beadlocks and heavy tires.
My Prowler likewise, is not very heavy either, yes, more than stock, but less than 1500 dry weight without tools.
Stock or semi-stock UTVs with stock fuel tanks are allowed, but I'm running a fuel cell as are some others.
Check out the rules that Joey has linked to on page one of this thread, it has the rules.

Nicholas,
I think stock fuel cell is still OK. Need roof and nets. You can race solo, but the report from Jeff is this year he would not recommend it - Read winch and push/pull to get over rocks!

Latest newsletter above.
Drawing party tonight at 4 wheel parts in Compton, you can watch it live on pirate4x4.com starts at 6 pm open to the public if you want to head down to the city of Compton.
Blitzkrieg of news here.
Purse has been set for the UTV race.
$5000 spread between the top 3 finishers. Purse is set no matter if we have 4 teams (BTW we only currently have 4 teams signed up) or all 50.
I have to say I am kinda bummed we only have 4 entries. I hope the UTV community supports this race.
Entry form is in the newsletter.
Thanks to Pitbull, for title sponsorship again, Kawasaki for all the hard work they do UTV underground, and HCR racing. Now we just need to get people signed up to race.
You don't need a big money race car to participate, just basic safety items and a good spotter and a winch. KOH is a full week of entertainment. we have more stuff to do out there than you can possible attempt to do.
Thanks.

Yeah, 10 minute delay and there will only be 4 entries...smart azz... :D
I think with the economy, additional racing with SNORE and other things, it's made many leery of sending off entry forms and fees till they know they are in for sure.
Hell, I'm pushing to get my car ready, but work and family have redirected much of my time. I'll be pushing the wire to get done, but am still entering and going...
Jeff, you will get more entries I'm sure. Probably see quite a few this month now that the holidays are over...

From what I know, the order will be based on the order in which the entries were received, or at least that seemed like the general consensus the last time I talked to Jeff Knoll.

Fox racing suits, it's like 300 hundred for the one piece withs shoe and gloves, order one size bigger seems to work best , they have a size chart but go one size over your size , also DEZERT REBELZ 1940 RZR will be there, sent in our entry this morning, can't wait last year we DNF , so this year we got a bone to pick. I'm excited for the rock section( don't know if my Co-Dog is though) hope to see you all there, hope we get a better turn out than last year

Thats what I have so far. I talked To one additional driver whos paperwork has been lost in teh mail, I suspect I will see it today.
I have one here on my desk that needs to be processed. Joanne Gonzales.
So as of Today 9 that I know of.
Reid has told me Casey Currie is racing, but so far no entry form. Mitch Guthrie has told me he plans on racing, he will be going for a Threepete. I suspect we will see a few more float in.
Would be great to see this race get about 20-25 entries.
If we can get people excited about UTV racing I have a whole bunch of ideas for races and events that follow Ultra4 around and could be a lot of fun. Its just hard to invest in something that does not pull enough entries.

The max amount of entries is 50. We can take entries until we get that high which I don't see happening.
That being said we can take your entry onsite but please understand that we have a lot of stuff going on with our main event. Look at the schedule on our website and you will see how busy the week is. We can not set aside a whole day to accept UTV entries. Our races are Pre reg only so we don't have a staff that can process a grip of UTV entries on Weds night.
Our staff leaves for the Lakebed in one week. I would say at this point if you don't get your entry in the mail toady you will have to register on site. I would hope you can do that in the listed hours of opperation for the driver check in. Weds within those hours will be your last chance to get registered.
I need a few course workers for the UTV race, Reid has set up some, but if you would like to give us a hand just make sure you are at the UTV drivers meeting.

Jeff,
My volunteers are waiting to hear something from you but I'm guessing you are so swamped that you may not get to them before the event? I believe they are already committed so I'll fill them in a little and we can assign duties when they arrive at HammerTown.
I have one base unit radio I can donate for their use for sure. I just need to double check frequencies to make sure I have the one you are going to use.

Sorry for not getting back to PM's on Pirate, but I don't post often over there and My PM box would take a month to answer so I have to ignore it right now. Emails I can do..... Pms on multiple message boards not so much.:D knoll1706@yahoo.com
I will brief Reid on the Course needs when we are out marking it late next week.
4-5 check points are needed. at the check point you need a pen, a watch, and a pad of paper. If you have a radio that is even better.
I want to be really clear on this next item.
In the pictures It looks like Casey is receiveing outside assitance. In 2009 we did not promote the race. The rules where set by sidexside superjam. I don't believe it was against the rules back than, It is now.
You can not get outside assitance what so ever. The driver and the Co driver have to do all the work. The BLM will require us to disqualify you if a spectator touches your race car. In an area like that there will be a boundry that spectators can not cross, if they do we have problems. We are not under a microscope with UTV's like we are with the Ultra4's, but please lets not even let the BLM think they need to go down the same road.
Its a really fun race, I hope we can keep it that way, because I can tell you the UTV guys and gals want nothing to do with the rules we have for U4s.;)
We are closing the Course down to the U4 guys on Thursday so the UTVs don't have to worry about pre runners, but specators are going to all over the trails all week. I can't do to much about them. We should not have too much trouble at 8 in the morning on a Thursday as every one there should know the course.
If you want to come out and play early we start marking the course a week from this Friday, and its a great way to see the desert in your UTV. I will be living in Hammertown from Jan 26th until about Feb 18th. Stop onto the lakebed and say hello.

There is a set of rules on the KOH web page for UTV's. Basically any engine mod and suspension mod, Saftey is the big key. Non modified stock fuel tank or Fuel cell, Saftery harness, nets, roof.
Sorry I don't have exact details but I say you go for it. If you plan to race your short course car you might want to reconsider as they are too low and too wide and you can't see out of them well.
good luck!

it wouldnt be in my race teryx hahah i wish tho so it can be a stock fuel tank?? like it can stay were it is on a stock teryx? or i would have to change something there?
and what about doors i see some cars last year didnt have doors they just have a big window net ?????

how is the course marked out really good or do u need a gps? to be able to know were ur going?
Team Green
02-01-2011, 08:26 AM
It will be open for pre running on Sunday after sign up. It will be marked well but because some of the course is shared with the big cars there are intersections where UTV's go one way and the big cars go another. If you pre run with someone first then you can do it with out a GPS but Jeff (promoter ) reccomends one.
Stock fuel tanks are legal. Modified cars are nice but I did it in basically a stocker in a very good time when we were laying out the course. An in shape spotter and a winch for emergencies is a plus!

At the drivers' meeting tonight, Dave Cole confirmed that if you are racing, you will not need a temp permit for your race vehicle. I think there may have been some confusion on that earlier. You will obviously still need to sticker any recreational vehicles, though.

When I was on Aftershock, the #7 rig was working it's way thru, and I believe they were the last remaining.
I got pics at the start from one of the first climbs, pics from some highspeed stuff past Melville Lake, pics of 3 coming down Elvis, plus a couple more sections...Nikon D90 with a 200mm f2.8 zoom...haven't pulled them off the camera yet, but they should be okay ;)

Congrats to both Jagged X and Mitch G (who almost pulled off a three peat)
For those who missed this event, you guys missed a great one. It may not have turned out the way some wanted nor did some get the results they expected but I think all in all it was a very good event. The Underground group was huge and our spot could not have worked out better. I'm sure Rusty and Joey D will bring the event to life with all the pictures they took.
Wireless service absolutely sucked in Hammertown so we could hardly get texts to send let alone web updates. Sorry to those who wanted to follow online or were expecting more updates during the event.
Even though he didn't finish the event the Ironman award goes to Brit just for getting his car built and repaired before the event. He wins in miles driven that is for sure!
Bret Carter"s Teryx wins for ingenuity and with nearly zero time to test he finished with a very respectable 6th!
LTI also burned the midnight oil getting Nolan's Teryx done and unfortunately he was not able to finish but the car was a show piece.
I would like to mention something about each entry but I was a little pre-occupied to get a good chance to chat with everyone.
I hope you all consider coming out for the Hammer King Productions GP at Glen Helen later in the year. I know Jeff has some big plans for some future UTV events and I hope you all support them.

Great Event. I want to thank Reid for reserving us the best spot out there. Pictures to come shortly.
Rugged Radios saved my week by swapping out a bad intercom in my car. My new VIAIR system worked perfect. All in all it was great weekend except for my motor running a little rough and the machined bolt on suspension broke and I had to come up with a Presidential Solution.

Huge thanks have to go to Reid. Without his involvement, I am not sure the UTV race would have happened at all. And the camp area was perfect. Out of the mayhem and dust.
We arrived Saturday and went out on a pre-run of the first 27 miles on Sunday. Elvis was pretty tough then, but it changed a lot during the week and by Wednesday the trail looked to be a lot easier.
After pre-running, we set about fine tuning our shocks with the help of the guys from Fox. They were a big help. Also worked with the guys from Rugged Radios. They tuned my antenna and we worked on a wierd noise that seemed to be generated by my power steering. Wally and I thought we had it licked during testing on Tuesday and Wednesday, but then right off the line on Thursday it was back. Ugh! Very nice though to have these businesses on the lake bed.
We were all set for the race on Thursday AM. We had the fifth position that turned into fourth when the guy in #1 had an engine issue. Our plan was to get to the front of the pack before Elvis. They sent us off 30 seconds apart and we got bunched up on the first hill climb just a mile out. The Arctic Cat that started first had problems getting up the hill. Things were backing up quickly and Rocker in the Tech 3 Teryx tried to get up the side hill. Wally and I had stopped and looked for an alternate line on Wednesday and did not see anything good, so we sat tight. Things finally broke through, but this gave everyone behind us an opportunity to catch up.
Once over the hill, we dashed off along the sand trails. We got past the Prowler and took a different line than Mark Turner and passed them. Only one left was Tech 3. At the top of the sand hill, we had spotted a little short cut and knew it could come in handy if we needed to pass. We took it and it worked perfect. We shot to the front and it was clear sailing. I backed off a bit to try and keep everything going well. Miles 2 - 6 were pretty uneventful, then my co-dog Wally said we had company. Damn, there went the Sunday drive plans. I stepped it back up a bit and Wally said it was a RZR. There were some huge whoops and I got a bit sideways and Guthrie was hauling the mail right there! Then kaboom! Passenger side front shock came right up through the hood. Crap. The shock tower had sheared right off. That ended our race right there between mile 6 and 7. What a dissapointment.
KOH is a great race, but I sure seem to have a monkey on my back. I really appreciate all the help from everyone that helped us get to the starting line. Truly bummed that it wasn't in the cards again.
Congrats to Jagged X, Guthrie and everyone else that finished. Just getting across that finish line is a huge accomplishment.
Next up for my Teryx (after we get a new shock tower built) - VORRA short course races in March and April. Then the Yerington desert race in May.
I sure hope that the race was successful enough for Jeff and Dave to do it again next year. For all of you on the fence, get working now and sign up early. Starting positions were assigned based on registration date.

I hope he is ok........

We had a great race battling back and forth a couple times and I honestly can't remember having more fun during a race than this year's event.
The XP worked unbelievable well and honestly is in great shape despite being bashed through some really rugged terrain for an hour and twenty minutes and being virtually stock including no winch, no skids other than stock, and no other mods other than wheels/tires and a set of Elka shocks (aside from a few safety requirements like window nets, fire extinguisher, and a couple additional tubes added to the stock cage)...truly unbelievable machine out of the box.

Wish we could have been there. Working on that Teryx for the last few weeks before this race was allot of fun. 6th place is a win for a one man build in a two car garage with a pipe bender and a welder. Bret designed every thing on this car and with the inspiration and backing of his wife Katie (not to mention she was his co driver) got the car done and finished a race that most people wish they could just go to let alone compete on that level. When you do this out of your own pocket with out a race team or a sponsor of any kind it is a Huge accomplishment. The time the other three of us spent on the car was very very small. Way to go Katie and Bret you took the win in my book. You guys are awesome.

That pic of camp is awesome!!! I didnt get any good pics of our set up but we had a solid location and a bunch of people......I would bet that our camp spot was the best in all of Hammer Town!

Thanks for lettin us hang out in your camp. Sorry we didn't get much chance to talk. You guys seemed pretty busy before the race and didn't want to get in the way. Our builder was out with us Thurs/Fri and we got to spend time going over the U4 cars and what we're doing with our new car. It was a good validation to see an IFS car come in 1st.

Congrats to both Jagged X and Mitch G (who almost pulled off a three peat)
For those who missed this event, you guys missed a great one. It may not have turned out the way some wanted nor did some get the results they expected but I think all in all it was a very good event. The Underground group was huge and our spot could not have worked out better. I'm sure Rusty and Joey D will bring the event to life with all the pictures they took.
Wireless service absolutely sucked in Hammertown so we could hardly get texts to send let alone web updates. Sorry to those who wanted to follow online or were expecting more updates during the event.
Even though he didn't finish the event the Ironman award goes to Brit just for getting his car built and repaired before the event. He wins in miles driven that is for sure!
Bret Carter"s Teryx wins for ingenuity and with nearly zero time to test he finished with a very respectable 6th!
LTI also burned the midnight oil getting Nolan's Teryx done and unfortunately he was not able to finish but the car was a show piece.
I would like to mention something about each entry but I was a little pre-occupied to get a good chance to chat with everyone.
I hope you all consider coming out for the Hammer King Productions GP at Glen Helen later in the year. I know Jeff has some big plans for some future UTV events and I hope you all support them.
Reid, Katie and I cant thank you enough for your support and all you did to get the event going!! Thanks for the props too...
Wish we could have been there. Working on that Teryx for the last few weeks before this race was allot of fun. 6th place is a win for a one man build in a two car garage with a pipe bender and a welder. Bret designed every thing on this car and with the inspiration and backing of his wife Katie (not to mention she was his co driver) got the car done and finished a race that most people wish they could just go to let alone compete on that level. When you do this out of your own pocket with out a race <leo_highlight style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: 0% 50%; -moz-background-size: auto auto; cursor: pointer; display: inline; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" id="leoHighlights_Underline_1" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_ 1')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underl ine_1')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underli ne_1')" leohighlights_keywords="team" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_2/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Dteam%26domain%3Dw ww.utvunderground.com" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_2/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Dteam%26domain% 3Dwww.utvunderground.com" leohighlights_underline="true">team</leo_highlight> or a sponsor of any kind it is a Huge accomplishment. The time the other three of us spent on the car was very very small. Way to go Katie and Bret you took the win in my book. You guys are awesome.
Thanks Ed it would not have even been possible with out our friends! Next year I hope you guys are with us on site!!
I would also like to thank everyone else out there Jeff, Joey, Rusty, Kyle and Michelle, Reid, Jon, the whole Tech 3 team (Great camp neighbors!!) sorry I know i have missed some names here everyone was very helpful... This is by far one of the best experiences we have had.
Next Rally on the Rocks!! all set with a camp spot at OK RV park. Cant wait
Cheers,
Brett and Katie

I finally made it home to Alabama late last night. 33 hours, 8.5MPG.:mad:
My biggest mistake was assuming that I could take a RZR with a stock engine and be competitive. We had amazing support from DragonFire and Yoshimura. They installed their intake (Ranger RZR Race Filter | Polaris Ranger RZR Performance (http://www.dragonfireracing.com/rangerrzrracefilter.aspx)), new Yoshimura exhaust (DFR by Yoshimura Polaris RZR Exhaust (http://www.dragonfireracing.com/dfr-by-yoshimura-polaris-rzr-exhaust.aspx)), and the Yoshimura PIM2 and data logger - more on those to come. The difference those few components made was unbelievable. The throttle response was improved substantially.
Due to us being down quite a few CC's and HP's, I decided to gamble on running 30' tires to get through the rougher sections of the course a little faster. We new those tires would be hard on parts, but felt that was our best shot at a win. I didn't drive all the way to California from Alabama just to finish.
Apparently, we must have broken a rear CV pre-running a couple of days before the race. I drove it pretty hard a couple of days earlier to see if we could break any parts, but everything seemed to fair pretty well, or at least as far as we could tell. As soon as the start flag waved and we made it around the first big hill I started feeling a pop in the rear. By the time we made it through the first small whoop section it was apparent that there was a broken rear CV. Despite several attempts at making it up the first hill, I decided to call it quits. Three wheel drive wasn't going to cut it.
Due to all of the mechanical issues we had prior to the race, I keep telling myself that just making it to the starting line was an accomplishment, but the racer in me calls B.S. on that one. You can bet that this year was our one and only "learning experience" year and that we'll be back 100% next year competing for the win.
I can't thank you guys enough for your hospitality and help/advice with all of my mechanical failures. It's going to take me a few days to really take it all in, but one thing is for sure, I'm already planning for next year.
We'll also be headed out West a few times during the year for testing/races. I won't be unprepared in the desert again.

It was so nice to see you! Don't sell stock RZR's short. Mine was completely stock--I lost some speed running the 27's....from what I've heard that is the max size tire for a stock rzr without screwing up the axles or cv's.
Also, I was semi prepared. tech was interesting. Lots of last minute stuff. My hats off to PRP for hanging out and getting me those yamie nets to motify for my ride.
So...you were not alone in this 'last minute' stuff.

It was nice to meet you as well, Joanne. Congratulations on a great finish. I hope to see you at next year's KOH or sooner.
I think PRP saved the day for quite a few others as well. They made a perfect, custom, set of nets for my cage in one day. I'm forever a PRP customer now.
thanks,

I was driving a 2008 RZR with a bone stock engine and 27" tires it has xmf suspension and walker shocks. dont sell yourself short you had a good combo with bad luck.

Mitch, you must have one of those fast RZRs because you were hauling when we broke.

We lasted less than a mile past checkpoint one, when the drive belt snapped in the Teryx. It was a heavy duty EPI and had less than 15 miles n it.
We will be back next year also but will be in a RZR rather than a Teryx. We preran the course in a stock RZR-S with HCR long arms, and it felt faster than the Teryx. Plus that, I have never broke a belt in the RZR.
Hope to see everybody again next year.

Hi Bill,
Frenchy and I were pleased as punch to camp with you guys, and I tell ya, you have a super team. We are hoping that we will have Frenchy's HCR long travel on his commander sometime this year...yeah...this year...(snork). If everything works out I would like to see Montie and Frenchy do the Hammers. It would be a hoot to watch my ol'man do his 'funky chicken' thang. :0)
Take care, and see ya round,
Joanne

Don't give up on the Kawi. Just don't use an EPI belt. Use Kawi parts. Run the RZR also, help up the car count and grow KOH. It was good meeting everyone. I can't wait for rally on the rocks.
