Please don't ask questions like "what do you have into it?" That would be a little scary to know. I can tell you I have don nothing to the engine and suspension and not had any issues. I change the oil often and oil and lube all joints regularly. And I have never had any mechanical issues other than a blown fuse because of my new HID's and LED's. The cage was expensive (RacerTech), the seats were expensive (UTV Crap), the wheels were expensive (UTV Crap), The Seat Belts were expensive (UTV Crap). Other than those items just a stock RZRS.
Sounds like plenty. Do you have window nets?

I'd love to race but I'm not sure there is a class for me. I have a mini sand rail that I run knobbies on - similar to a Joyner Sand Viper 1100. Here's the second catch - 3 kids under age 6 and a pregnant wife due in November and between jobs right now... not really a good time to pursue racing. But I totally want to get involved eventually. Would a winter race be possible? Maybe out at 5 Mile Pass in 4-6 inches of snow?
Prize money or not - I'll get in at some point (if there's a place for me...)
OK very cool thanks for the input.
So this can not happen for this race but if their is some UTV's that show up and Bonneville off-road wants to make it a permanent part of it series I would be happy to talk with the owner to see if we could work something like this out.
1st place $500
2nd place $250
3rd place $125
Around $100 entry fee?I think to get something like this to work it would have to be contingent on a set # of UTV's that enter in each class.
Something like 15 UTV's per class minimum for full payout?So here is the big question for every one.......... IF I could talk Bonneville off-road into something like this is their anyone who is not racing now that would race with a payout program like this?
I'm not talking about I might or I would if I was going to race but I don't want to race. I'm talking about who is not going to race September 19th only because their is no payout but would be their 100% if their was a payout similar to the one listed above?
Also if its not the lack of payout keeping you (you is who ever is reading this) from racing what is it? And not to be rude but I'm not looking for answers from people who will not race because of reasons like..
I live on the other side of the country
I don't think racing is fun.
I don't want to beat up my machine in the desert.
I'm to oldI'm talking to the people that are reading this and thinking man I really want race my UTV with Bonneville off-road racing ....... but i cant or will not because?

This is the last race for the year. The next one will be spring. As far as a class for you it will not be UTV but maybe you can fit some where else. What does your buggy weigh? and what size and material is the frame? Their are fairly strict rules about that stuff. But remember racing can be hard on stuff so it needs to be built safe. Just download a BITD ( Best In The Desert ) rule book and see if you can fit any of those race classes and also see what you need to work on getting ready for next year.

Just wanted to let every one know the race happened and was a blast. Their where only 4 UTV's that showed up and I was the only one to have a DNF. The course was a blast! Alot of fun for UTV's. It kinda suck their was really no interest in it. Great course low entry fee well planed plus it was just cool to be their and see the other trucks and buggies. I talked with the owner Allen at the race and it sounds like they will try and keep the UTV class open next year with maybe three different classes stock stock modified and modified. He said they had a ton of phone calls emails and all around interest but for what ever reason people just didn't show. So for any one interested in desert racing with BOR sounds like they will give us at least one more shot. Next race will be spring 2010.
