WHAT WOULD IT TAKE?

HOW EXPENSIVE IS IT REALLY?

IF ANYBODY HERE RACES PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT IS NEEDED AND HOW HARD IT MIGHT BE TO DO.

HOW WOULD I GO ABOUT GETTING SPONSORS....?
(I KNOW I HAVE TO GOT OUT AND PROVE MYSELF FOR THE SPONSORS, BUT WHAT ARE THEY LOOKING FOR?)

Yeah i'd probably start off in he stock class myself. I'm also right there with you when it comes to the long travel. It would be really nice, but I think i'm just going to go for new shocks too...

Like i know what the difference between the rhino sna di know everything about the rhino i would need for racing, but i want to know...

Do you need a pit crew for somethign like this...?

Do you need a ton of extra parts?

is it expansive...?

That's what i need to figure out...

$20K will get you this much. Legal for WORCS and USRA Desert racing.

For desert racing you will need a pit crew. you can't expect to undo your harnesses and crawl out to fill it with gas each time you come into the pit. And if you breakdown your crew is going to have to get your Rhino back out of the desert for you. The sponsoring club will get the drivers back to the pits if they have to, but they are not obligated to tow your Rhino back. At least thats the way it is around here.

Basic spare parts are a good idea, such as spare tires/wheels, fuel pump, fuel hose, fuel filter, air filter, spare CDI, spare belt for the transmission, and perhaps spare axle shafts. If anything more complicated than that lets go you can pretty much count on a DNF.

Yes it is expensive. I only make it to a few races each year. Sponsors would help with some of the cost. Right now I only get parts for dealer cost, which helps, but not enough.

THE SDHQ OFFROAD RHINO IN YOUR PICTURE HAS BEEN RUMORED TO COST OVER $100,000. $30,000 TO $50,000 IS ABOUT NORMAL FOR A MODIFIED RHINO. FULLCAGE, ENGINE MODS & LONG TRAVEL. MOST SANCTIONING BODIES REQUIRE SAFETY HARNESSES, WINDOW NETS & FUEL CELLS.
