Wendover Nevada UTV Race ( Utah Racing )

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 old

I'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?

You are probably right :cry: .

Im thinking that it isnt the prize money. It may just be no one wants to race.
Since no one is interested in racing maybe some of you will be interested in my new roll cage progress.

My wife has a race that weekend or I would be there. I was the only out at the Knolls Race. Needless to say I won. My machine loves to hit whoops at high speed. Is there really no one interested? If we could get a good turnout I might just ditch out on my wife's race and come out and play with you guys.

I am sure Jake would like to here from you and if you can PM him he could give you the info needed. It has been a little slow on the site lately and has not been much interest but it sounds like it is going to be a good race and they need all the support they can get. Hopefully things will pick up soon. If it was not so fare away i would not mind being a spectator there since i no longer race anymore. Oh bye the way really nice ride and what do you have done to it :?:...

benhoopes · 2009-09-08 14:31:26

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.

Oh yeah the Rhino was sold. If you remember I blew a belt out at Sand Hollow and later that week broke an A-Arm. I was tired of putting money in to that Rhino. The RZR is way more fun. Now I just need a Turbo. Wife is not pregnant anymore. At least I don't think so.

Your S looks nice.

RANGERDALEXP · 2009-09-08 16:10:23

What you need to do before the turbo is a ported head and cam along with a bored throttle body, also the EFI tuner and exhaust then i would do the turbo. and then watch out everyone :idea: .

Do you know who does those types of mods? Or which tuner is the best? And why would I want to spend money on an exhaust if I am going to get a turbo that replaces the exhaust? I am definitely interested in go fast goodies but I don't want to be throwing my money away.

Back on Topic BORE:

I like the idea of bored throttle body and ported heads because once I put a turbo on I will not be able to race the same class. They require naturally aspirated machines.

This is the best guy in the business for Polaris and he has been doing Polaris since the beginning. He knows the engine and drive line like the back of his hand and if you tell him what you want he will not steer you wrong :!: :idea: . You will need to call him because not everything is on his web site. For Your question on why you need an upgraded exhaust. If you have a watter hose that is 2 inches and you reduce it to 1/2 inch what do you get. It goes the same for engine performance. All an engine is is an air pump, If you push a lot of air and fuel in it you need to get the air out or you are not making power :!: :!: .

Thanks for the map Greg. Your support for all this SxS stuff is great. With any luck my machine will still be together to make a trip for a wendover ride again in October.
