Utah Side X Side racing series

RedMan · 2009-04-22 18:51:01

Okay I'm trying to gauge support for a Side X Side racing series.

This is obviously a painful process trying to use public land so I need to know if you guys would participate.

The idea is to develop a series, initially three races. Held somewhere interesting. Probably Spring, Summer and Fall.
Each race on a different route.

Have stock, sportsman and pro brackets. Some basic safety items but it appears we will not need things like
fuel cells.

The format will probably be a staged rally so you should not be banging bumpers, just racing the clock.
Of course you will know you are losing when you get passed by the guy that started behind you.

We want the stock division to attract never ever racers, to just come out and have a blast.

If we go to the considerable cost and effort will you show?

Are any of your races Side X Side?

MR. KRYPTONITE · 2009-04-28 20:38:34

No. I wish though. All quad stuff. Not much in the side x side racing going on in Utah that I am aware of. :cry:

Looks like its just going to be you and me then.

Not much of a response here.

MR. KRYPTONITE · 2009-04-29 22:07:22

Come on all of you out there in internet land! Who wants to race?

RedMan · 2009-04-30 21:59:22

We have an incredible track layed out.

One loop is over 36 miles. Assuming the BLM is agreeable.

MR. KRYPTONITE · 2009-05-02 20:08:10

Im in!! I know their would be a big turn out if people only know about it. Rhinoforums.net teryxforums.net rzrforums.net place some adds on KLS un the UTV and sandrail sections. I only found this post by a goolge search for UTV race utah. Let people know they dont need long travel and 10 grand of other stuff in their UTV to race and people will be their Im sure of it.

Lets make it happen. Ill help any way I can

Not sure where exactly you guys are talking about, but if you would like to include our track in your series, we would love to have you. We are in Nevada about 100 miles north of Las Vegas just off highway 95. You can get all the info you need at OCORR

RedMan · 2009-05-11 08:10:22

Thats great news, I'll be in contact as we get more in place.

Thanks!

Guys,

On the rules/equipment side of things.
We are hearing that the requirements for setting up the rigs in many race series is too expensive.

So how do we walk the fine line between overkill and unsafe?

I know there are a bunch of you that would like to take your rig, stock like the day you bought it and
do some fun racing. Do you think that is safe enough? What would you add on your own if there were
no requirements?

Any progress in this? I'm totally interested. Here's the deal though - I don't have a UTV - I have what some call a China Lite. Basically a Chinese built mini sand rail similar to the Joyner Viper 1100. I run nobbies on it, it's similar in wheel base and weight to most UTVs.

So could I come race?

If anyone is concerned about the 1100 cc motor - keep in mind that it's Chinese built (not too much power) and there's a very good chance that I'll break down long before the end of the race...

But it's all worth it to me. I'd even love to just pre-run the course, especially if it's not too far from SLC.

Im sure there will be a few minor things that come to mind but in my honest opinion 4 or 5 point harness are a must. They are not that expensive and make your rig a billion times more safe.

I will put some thought into this...
