    Who wants to qualify UTV's for The Mint 400 at King of The Hammers?

    Most people don’t go to KOH....if your wanting to qualify it should be before the race not at another race.

    Can the Yamaha YXZ1000 make the Baja.

    Somebody complained and had this video blocked.....I wonder who would do that? Hmmm? I don’t think Polaris or Yamaha would be offended so someone’s a sore loser.

    UTVWC Laughlin Leap

    It looks like the Laughlin Leap is being cancelled because no sponsors are interested. It appears there is no TV coverage this year. Last year was covered by ABC I believe. Neither of these developments appear to be improvements to what was arguably the single biggest UTV event of the year. I...

    hi, not new but back here again..

    Stick to the basics....buy a $35 clutch alignment tool. Buy a clutch kit. Personally I don't like aftermarket exhaust for a lot of reasons. A tuner is just more connectors to fail but if you have to have one Power Commander and Dyno Jet I think has one. I'd spend the money on flashing the ECU...

    RZR RS1 Class?

    Here is the question and response from BITD about the RS1. If you believe Polaris said this then I have some swamp land to sell you. Every video I've seen of the RS1 vs XP1000 show the cars being neck and neck just as you would expect. Whatever difference there is is up to the driver to...

    RZR RS1 Class?

    I was seriously considering to race one next yr but not in its own class. The weight is overstated imo. Currently there are a wide range of weights among the two seat and 4 seat Rzrs, Yamaha, and XX coming up. There is as much as 300lbs or more after race built. On paper it’s 29 lbs lighter than...

    Who has the scoop on the new new for the up coming desert/dune riding season

    Apparently BITD I mean Cory has decided the RS1 is too badass to run with the other naturally aspirated cars and must be separated in a class of its own.....because why?

    RZR RS1 Class?

    So I asked Cory and he said no that the rules require a co-driver. He said there is going to be a RS1 class with its own rules for 2019. I asked if any of the build specifications have been decided and his answer was no. So a Can Am sponsored driver making the rules for a Polaris only...

    Primary clutch issues have you seen this?

    For most work on a sxs I’d suggest finding someone who versed in all aspects of the car. Your going to be better off in the long run since most of these guys own and run cars. Taking to a dealer would be my last resort. I’d even trust google first......

    Drivers attacking Drivers at WORCS

    Jim, I watched the video again and it stops right at the point where the guy makes what I’d call a swipe at the drivers helmet and almost looks like he’s starting to walk away but you can’t tell. I’m always skeptical about videos that just stop abruptly if you know what I mean. The kid didn’t...

    Drivers attacking Drivers at WORCS

    I assumed the topic was about incidents that would be considered unsportsmanlike. It happens in every sport and how its addressed is different in every sport. Hockey and Nascar fighting is not a big deal but in figure skating it will get you banned and kicked off the Olympic Team. Offroad racing...

    Drivers attacking Drivers at WORCS

    I'm may be alone on this but as bad as this looked it didn't have permanent serious consequences.....in other words no one got hurt. However much he should have known better is speculation imo. He did what he did and it was 100% out of line and he should be held responsible for it no more or...

    RZR RS1 Class?

    It should be allowed.....thats a question for Cory. If the Can Am turbo is any precedent when it was allowed mid season to compete against the NA cars then I don't see why the RS1 would not be allowed. I suppose they could change the rules to require a co driver or is that already a rule?

    Can-Am Vs. Polaris - Officially Equal?

    I was referring to Legacy. For the record, I'm not a poster boy for any particular agenda I say whats on my mind but that can change......ask anyone who's bumper I've left paint on. That said the truth is usually somewhere in the middle of extreme points of view. Never and Always are both...

    Primary clutch issues have you seen this?

    You need to make sure its tight periodically....I mean your bouncing it over the desert i assume and 2000 miles is a lot of offroad miles. Just hit it with an impact now and then if you don't have a torque wrench....Also change the bolt once in a while. If your just driving it till it breaks...

    Why does my name always come up here.... what happens on the race course in not a secret. I'm not even sure what your inference is but I think everyone will agree we are more considerate and less cars being destroyed by other cars if thats what your talking about. Part of that is the push to...

    1900 Class Interested in Baja 500?

    Im currently undecided but would like to race this years 500 if the team was right. I’ve done 5-6 baja races so I’m a veteran DNF’er. Just thought I’d throw this out there see where it goes. My sponsors would like me to race it so I can bring some game.

    1958 UTVWC Race Report

    I don't recall the conversation unless you said keep it stock which I know a lot of people believe is best. I never got a "deal" unless you call a small discount a deal. Hearing so many others with the same clearance issues is disappointing that Trinity seems oblivious to this......

    1958 UTVWC Race Report

    Randy, your correct Shelby drove it last year and ironically Bradbury was her co driver. This year the car was driven by 16 yr old Trevor Beurrier 1924. About 3 mi into the first lap the way I heard it Bradbury was overly aggressive driving a 2900 car and climbed the rear of him. I heard that...

    1958 UTVWC Race Report

    We have an issue with Trinity exhaust pivoting on the header and getting really close to the water hose coming off the water pump. We cut the hose down to make more clearance.

    Its been while since Ive written a report. We started like 39th and blew a head gasket coming out of the pits on the second lap running in 9th at the Mint but ended w a DNF. So we draw 27th at UTVWC. The day before contingency I'm feeling flu sick on the day of I'm bed ridden all day trying to...

    Baja 500 VW Nerf.....Your thoughts?

    Had no idea this was still going but for the record I still think nerfing should be treated w restraint. I've done it I don't like to do it. This last race at Silverstate I don't think was very much nerfing so I think the mentality is changing.

    Silverstate 150 results

    It wasn't a super rough course like whooped out but it was really twisty and narrow perfect for bikes and UTV. Fair amount of sand and corners were deep grooved where lot of cars rolled. One car was coming on us so we rabbitted because of the dust and lost him. After a while he was back we were...

    Silverstate 150 results

    Was a super fun course. I haven't seen so many cars on their lids ever! Seems like everyone was running fast. You didn't see any cars just poking along like most races. Probably the best course for utv in 3-4 years imo. I think trackers were $150 for this race if u wanted one.

    I'd be in favor of mandatory trackers for these smaller races at a appropriate cost just so people that follow the sport can follow the sport.

    Desert Racing Rules 101 (Unwritten/Common Sense)

    I think you could have included NEVER nerf a car smaller than you. I agree it makes sense for Class 11 to be protected as you stated....any hit will likely inflict damage and is a dickhead move. A truck, jeepspeed, or other larger vehicle than a UTV is also vulnerable as proven by the numbers of...

    Baja 500 VW Nerf.....Your thoughts?

    Yeah I also raced X Country for years and same thing if someone was stuck it was a free for all. Bikes would run over you or around you or find an alternate way. What you can be sure of is nobody waited in line....that actually makes me lol to think about.

    Baja 500 VW Nerf.....Your thoughts?

    I knew I wasn't the only one who never heard of it. I don't understand the aversion to written rules. If it's important put it in the rule book.

    That's bs Wayne I was down a long time no UTV were behind me till the bottleneck. I decided to not wait and climbed the hill and the whole contingent of utvs behind me followed. That's the only time I saw utvs. If I "rabitted" it was to find a place to move over. Doesn't matter but this guy was...

    Baja 500 VW Nerf.....Your thoughts?

    Ok I know I put my neck out posting it but I'm relatively new to desert not new new but I just never heard of class 11 and always thought UTV was the most vulnerable out there besides bikes. Hence I figured all the rhetoric about UTV being fair game I never even considered there could be another...

    Baja 500 VW Nerf.....Your thoughts?

    If you saw it I was being as careful as I could be but I locked on his bumper for a second. I barely tapped him just put a small hand size dent in his hood. The thing is class 11 doesn't have any protection so there's an unwritten rule never hit a class 11. Which i never heard of but makes...

    Well they let you cross so photo copies were ok after all. They were just giving you a hassle for whatever reason they chose at the moment. It's never the same thing twice down there but you can be sure at some point your 50% chance to get jacked around for something. Just part of the deal.

    Unless your running together you can forget pit support from another team. Once the green flag drops the best laid plans are out the window. Now what you can benefit from is pre running with another team where time isn't so much a factor and strength in numbers is more important. That will help...
