Biggest UTV race of 2012 - Mint 400 - Official Thread
- Thread starter Bajaxp
- Start date
Our Reservation money has been sent... we have tore the Commander down to just a frame with the intent of making a number of major improvements...hope to have it all back together in time...the race to have it finished in time has begun!
Tech3 guys will be there for sure, already sent in our money......then were gonna go play on the sand for a week.
Just to keep up with Jagged we are installing a small block Chevy to start... new shocks with 20" in clearance and cutting 200lbs of tubing out of the car...
okay in reality.. moving the dif back about 3.5 inches which requires all new trailing arms...relocating the fuel tank (about 8 inches lower) which will require a whole new exhaust system...and thats just a start- pretty ambitious for so little time left- lastly we hoping to have the car wrapped with a whole new look...but that is seriously last on the list..Look foward to seeing everybody out there! who's throwing the BBQ this time??
To go.... or not to go.....

what are the dates for the race me and the wife were looking for something to do and vegas sounds fun.
The Rockstar Girls will be there. My husband is rebuilding the front of the RZR next weekend and were all set. See you there!
Raber Racing 1955 DSR1 will be there. The $$ is in. I will not reveal all the cards but I will say the car is bare now and getting some significant improvements both mechanically and cosmetically.
I know there are several other DSR1 cars in the works and we should have some hefty competition. What a great year for the UTV racing industry.
I wonder who is going to make the first 1200cc UTV? I guess I will have to wait a year or two. When that happens the dry sump Busa is going in this car.

Super pumped on The Mint! I can't wait for this event to get here. My wife will be helping the staff (Mad Media) on data entry and I will be mobbing the events taking pics and filming. We are staying in the middle of the madness at The Golden Nugget. So excited for The Mint 400!
