I think Mike said that they dipped his car in WD40........ maybe that was just too much???
2011 BITD Vegas 2 Reno LIVE COVERAGE UPDATES - Information & News
- Thread starter JoeyD23
- Start date
I'm not sure of the final finishing position on adjusted time for Reynolds, Lindburgh or Murray. BITD doesn't have posted info on the UTV's.
The only positions we are sure of are Jagged X won and Parks took second. Unless any penalties come into play.
I'm sure Joey D will let us know after the announcements come out at the awards ceremony tonight.
Watched from the road near to Pit 15 from 3 to dusk. No IRC info. On live tracking so your info.was most helpful. It was a great big surprise to see Jagged X come through with a couple 1500's on their butt. Got one good photo of Jagged.
Hat's off to Jagged and crew. You guys sure have got this one figured out.

Great job by Jagged to win 5 in a row.That has to be some kind of record.To bad there tracker wasnt working for those of us watching on the internet,It looked like Parks was just running away.
I cant wait to here the stories from all the racers.Great job everyone who raced.

We went to the finish line after work got there just after jaggedx came in. Talked to Chad said they had some clutch issues (anti seize on the clutch they cleaned off) had to replace a couple ck points later. They hit a rock left front lower control arm (that would have taken a stock razor out). Said they had a class1 10 min behind them, took 3 check points to catch them. They had to be flying low. Left 15 min before the next utv came in (just my luck). Next year hope to run. Rich
Anybody come/make it to Reno and going back to Vegas? Looking for a ride back at some point still !
Well what can I say. We tried really hard to finish this race but it was not in the cards for us.
I started and was scheduled to drive 300 miles in the 1913 John Deere Gator. This would be my 1st time racing any form of motor sports. I have chased all over baja but I have never been in the driver seat. I did not get any seat time in the car before staging at the start line. I had also never met my co-driver Frankie but Lucas assured me he was the man for the job.
So about 7 miles into the race is where our trouble started. The gauges said the car was running hot. So we pulled over and let it cool down. Once we where going again the car would continue overheat. So we limped it into to pit 1. Lucas told me to just run it and don't pay attention to the stock gauge. So we left pit 1 and made great time to pit 2. We got a splash of fuel and they sent us off to pit 3. About 10 miles after pit 3 the car died. It was acting like it was running out of fuel. So we pulled over and replaced the fuel filter. Within 3 miles same problem. This time we pulled the filter off the vent tube. We died again just before the 1st checkpoint and knowing the trucks and buggies were less than 5 miles behind us we had to act fast. Luckily a very nice Hummer pulled up behind us and towed us up the hill. We pulled every fuel connection apart, we replaced the fuel filter on the return line, we checked the vent tube to make it was not pinched and we could not find anything that would cause this problem. Once we had the car running again we decided to push on so for the next 50 miles we had to stop every 3 miles and purge the fuel system all while 800 HP trucks went flying past us. My poor co-dawg had to get out of the car about 15 times before pit 3.
Once arriving to pit 3 we turned the car over to Nick and Chip. We replaced the fuel pump and a bad connection to the pump switch. They left under their own power and within 4 miles they would encounter the same problems. For the next 8 hours they would battle mechanical issue's and a beaten race course just to go 51 miles. With zero radio contact we sat at pit 4 waiting for any sign of our race car. The silt beds were torn up from the big trucks and cars. They had managed to limp the car all the way to the massive silt bed at RM 151 where they would get stuck and end the race. The BITD official closed pit 4 and then went to recover our race car.
Even after a brutal day of racing our team is still proud to say we never gave up. We were going to continue 3 miles at a time until a pit closure stopped us from going any further.
I want to give a huge thank you to all the people that helped make this happen for me.

Rusty we feel your pain. We too struggled with our fuel delivery system. I heard that many trucks and buggies had the same issue. We are on our way home, just a quick recap, We were 13th off the line, and the Commander was working great, picked up several positions, by pit 1 and kept moving forward up to pit 3. About 15 miles out, we lost fuel to the motor, coming to a stop, this begun our long day of trying to figure out why we were loosing pressure. We did all the same steps, checked filters, pickups, changed 2 pumps, and could not get the issue resolved. Would drive 1 mile and die. We figured out it was vapor locking due to the heat of the gas, and fuel pump mixed with the altitude. We had one section where we could not get the unit fuel, unless Brett blew into the vent hose to create additional pressure for over 10 miles. He is still feeling the effects of breathing in the gas.... We ended up using what we had to create a cooling system for our pump. Used a funnel and hose to connect from the passenger to the pump which we wrapped in towels, and then would carry 20- 30 water bottles and would dump them on the pump to keep the fuel cooler. We could then drive at about 50% We did this until night fall when we had cooler temps, and then could make up time. Other than this issue the Commander was awesome. The suspension, tires, motor etc were perfect. Not a single other issue on the UTV. We were glad to pull off the finish, even though it was not the way we had hoped. This course was extremely rocky and rough. Congrats to Jagged for pulling off another amazing win! Pics and video to follow.
Found this info on the timing. Does not have Jagged who won. Not sure if these are official or not? This is from IRC not BITD

I believe this is times for when the teams came into the pits. not to be rude but i dont want to sit at the computer all night trying to figure out who got what place.
This is the only info I have seen to pass along. The times are in order.. Starting time, time to 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 525 and total race time. It appears that the finishers are 1919, 1932, 1950, and 1917. The official results should be out shortly from BITD!
we ran all day with belt problems due to a belt intake filter we installed! Blew 4 belts in the first 150 miles. After we figured that out our 900xp was great and we finished third! In our first race ever. Not sure why our tracker wasn't working. We had alot of fun racing with everyone and look forward to racing again. I can't say enough about that xp, the abuse we put it through was insane and it just kept on going. Congrats again to Jagged X, they are class guys and helped our efforts greatly!
luckily you at least had 5 belts!! car looked great and congrats on persevering through it all- great finish! testiment on the XP and how well you all prepared.
