Pretty sure Robby started his racing in the desert. I believe his first score championship was in 86 and first MT championship was around 89 or 90?? anyone?
Least amount of skill would be post ride beer drinking. The toughest part of that is not pissing on your buddies trailer or your feet. LOL!!!!I want to spark some more debate here....

Also, what form of UTV racing do you think takes the least amount of driver skill?

I knew he had driven his dad car in the dezert but wasn't sure about the time frameYes RG had won Score Championships before he entered a Mickey Thompson race
Dont give him any ideas! lolI think RJ could kick butt in the desert with some experience.
Brian, The steel ramps are for races like the April 21st Long Beach Grand Prix event where the track is laid out on asphalt. The stadium events will be on dirt just like Mickey Thompson did it. The concept of the steel ramps was to broaden SST's opportunities. For 2013 SST has one race which is based on an asphalt layout, and that would be the Long Beach Grand Prix. Have yet to hear if the event will be before the IRL race or after. Also the use of the steel ramps make converting the track a very quick process.I'm tempted to enter the SST race in Phoenix, but I have my reservations as those steel ramps scare the ish out of me.
Or at least go back with a good bit of seat cushion stuck to their ass because their sphincter won't let go!!! LOL!!!So easterners come out to the west and get a taste of Desert Racing or WORCS before thinking you guys are the best, you may come home with your tail between your legs!

As in Mitch Guthrie??? How many times has he won KOH or placed top 3? Desert, G.P., WORCS.........a force to be reckoned with. Now his son is coming into his own.......look out!I think KOH takes the cake as far as a skilled driver.
Couldn't have said it better myself Steve..... Exactly what I was thinking.This is a great thread. IMHO, I believe that crossover drivers make better racers in there chosen/favorite disipline. It is a fact that those that excelled on motorcycles and quads make better drivers. There mindset of line choice and watching forward and not right in front of themself is burnt in the brain already. While racing desert for many years, my biggest gain in speed was when I started practicing at motocross tracks. Never was great at motocross, but I improved my skill at turning, and carrying more speed over high speed jumps and obsticles because of confidence. So I believe a Desert Racer that crosses over between desert and short course is going to improve there skills in each disipline utilizing skill sets from both. One thing to remember short course requires an intence exhausting amount of focus and concentration for 20 to 45 minutes, Desert racing requires focus and concentration for hours and hours. Also it is easier to run a hard pace when you can see your competition right in front of you, try running alone in the desert and hold a competitive edge with nothing to judge pace.
I am not saying shortcourse guys can't do it the other way. I do know this, the people in the east that have never run in the western deserts have an opinion that everything is flat out wide open running on a flat desert. I've got news for you, This Desert Racer went woods riding in the east and kick the woods racers butts I was testing with in there own backyard. So easterners come out to the west and get a taste of Desert Racing or WORCS before thinking you guys are the best, you may come home with your tail between your legs!
