ill be going for a test drive and racing

I will be done with my build this year and racing BITD in 2018. I have been racing AVE Pure series while i'm building the car. Its been a slow process but I've learned a lot of does and don'ts racing this year. I know AVE is way different then BITD but we have won the pro n/a 4 of 5 races and...

I'm interested in running it. The rules definitely need to be a little more clear. I'm going to race pro n/a next year with stock suspension but ill be legal with my low budget garage build.

Good luck to all the teams and have fun stay safe.

I wouldn't do powder coat unless you know for sure its setup the way you want. I hit mine with a rattle can to keep maintenance down for now. After every race i am changing or adding something. But this mine is a garage build and i'm a first time racer so i'm learning as I go and I've learned...

I personally love reading this stuff. I have spent most of my years racing bikes so I have a lot to learn about this 4 wheel stuff. National hare & hound races you deal with the same kind of issues but when you get to a bottle neck its a free for all. As for passing its the same thing if I catch...

I'm trying to make it. Still need to get a couple things figured out on the car. Any prize money in rally racing?

I dont think the Wildcat is any different than a RZR or CanAm. To have any of theme built is going to cost around the 100k mark for a fully built desert car. The only differance is that RZR and CanAm have proven they can win races. Im sure the Wildcat has testing on it but not much desert race...

Im not sure of your location but you can also look into smaller desert series to get started. Socal has AVE pure and District 38 Arizona has AZOP and im sure there others. Some of the bigger name guys also use these for testing before the big races. I started in the AVE Pure series and ive...

RallyDude, I went thru the rule book and had a couple questions. 1- 10lb fire extinguisher seems big for a little car. I have a 2.5lb in the car and 5lb outside is that ok? 2- I have window nets but they are not SFI rated, do I need different nets? 3- I didnt see anything about an age limit...

OK i'm sold. We will be doing the next one in Gorman. Anyone know a good place to practice that's safe in the SoCal area? I don't want to come flying around a corner into someone.

Until Textron starts selling a Wildcat XX car to the public the Speedcat shouldn't be allowed to race a "production" class. From what I've heard Textron will release the Wildcat XX as a naturally aspirated car for the first year so the Speedcat with a turbo cant race the Pro Production turbo...

I like the idea of having hydration stations but the clock should continue to run. I have raced bikes in the summer and its not fun at times but with proper preparation, training, and knowing when its time to stop and take a break in your pits is a vital part of desert racing
