Looking forward to another fun race with great people. If you have ever wondered what desert racing was like this is a perfect opportunity.
Would my Lucas Oil Regional RZR XP 900 be legal also for this series? I have desired to give desert racing a try and have kept an eye on this series and I'm very interested in running this round. One item specifically I am curious is would I be able to use my 5 watt handheld radio that I use for shortcourse or would I have to upgrade to a 50 watt unit?
10-40 hey I believe your car would work fine the big thing is window nets and safety gear... They just want to make sure your safe above all else... As for your 5w radio you can easily use that u just won't get as much range you can wire in a roof antenna to it so it gets a little better range.,, rugged radios is usually there and they can help
U out with all the cables and antennas u need... Trust me u will love it it is more then worth it!!!

While radios are NOT mandatory, we strongly suggest you use one. The handhelds are only 5 watts so they are limited as far as range. So down the line you may want to invest on a "mobile" unit of 50 watts and up. However, we also encourage racers to carry their cell telephone in addition to a radio, in the event you can't reach us via radio. Most servers work with our Verizon numbers.

This weekend I went around the tentative course for the P250 and I have to tell you, it's awesome! Parts of it is like racing from Ojos Negros, through Tres Hermanos and up to the bottom of the Summit down in Baja.
Don't be misled by the fact that it looks like a straight shot in several sections. They are anything but, with lots of terrain change; sand, whoops, silt, etc.
We had major rains last Sunday and the terrain has changed dramatically. On certain sections where there were "whoops" it is now flat as a pancake but it's all on top. Other section have deep crevices where the water ran rampid. This is our best course so far this year. You're going to have fun.
Too bad HDRA moved their race in Moab from the week before to our weekend. We might lose some drivers.
Regardless, if you want to have the best time, you've go to make this one!
Saturday Sept 28 - 9 a.m. Qualifying for starting positions Top Qualifier Award given at Driver's meeting 1 p.m.
Race starts 2 p.m. but bring lights.
6 Laps for everyone, 4 Laps for Bone Stock.
Free parking to entrants and crew all weekend.
Pre-running Friday, Sep. 27, Noon till Midnight
Official course map and Google Course downloads will be provided to entrants only who have paid.
A Note of warning: Please do not pre-run before the official date. We are trying to do our part in conserving the desert, leaving as little impact as possible and we need your help. For most of you, this course will be like you've never ran it before. In fact, most of this course is new or has not been used by us for at least a year.
Sign up early and get a discount on your T-shirt.
Bring a "brand new" racer and entry (who has never raced with us before) and you and the racer get $50 off entry.

For immediate press release…
SOMETHING WICKED IS COMINTG!
California City, CA – September 13, 2013 – Just got word that the first of the brand new Polaris RAZOR XP1000cc will be making its debut at the upcoming DWT PURE “250â€, Presented by SXSPerformance.com.
As far as we know this will be the first off-road desert event that the newest model from the Polaris stable will be attempting the 250-trek through the deserts of California City.
Ron Harvill, along with partners Wendi Van Muijen and Allen Jones of www.wickedsxs.com recently purchased the new Polaris model in Northern California (there were none near their home is So-Cal and they were anxious to get started) and began to fabricate the necessary tubing, cages, safety and structural assets that will be ready-to-go when they participate in the upcoming DWT PURE “250†Presented by SXSPerformance.com, in Cal City.
Although new to the SXS/UTV faction of the off-road sport, they are by no means neophytes--all three having been raised around the deserts of Southern California riding bikes, ATVs, sand rails and off-road cars. However, their latest passion is seeing what they can do with the development of the Side-X-Sides. They have already begun safety modifications to the XP1000 in anticipation of their first SXS event.
Team Wickedsxs.com plans to field two entries at the upcoming PURE “250†with their highly modified XP900 and their XP1000 competing in the Production 1000cc Class. Go to their page: www.wickedsxs.com
This is the fourth event in the five-event 2013 PURE SXS OFF ROAD SERIES and a good way to “shake†both cars before the 2014 PURE season gets underway next February. They also plan an assault in several of the other series including the upcoming California City Gran Prix, December 20-22, 2013 and in 2014.
For more details regarding the PURE 2013 and the 2014 series, please visit: www.averacing.com. You can also contact AVE at [email protected] or call 760.373.8227 / 661.524.1550.
