    Excited to run my first UTV race, the 2018 UTV WC! Advice? Tips?

    Yes, we did make it down. Had a blast and really enjoyed being there. Everyone was quite friendly to us as newbies. Ended up 36th out 75 in the PRO NA class. Machine hadn't been raced since a new motor went in, we suspect back clutch alignment issues as we destroyed 4 belts in 8 laps. We'll...

    Excited to run my first UTV race, the 2018 UTV WC! Advice? Tips?

    Hey everyone, A long time ago, I bounced around here looking for information in hopes of one day running the Baja 1000 in the UTV class. Long story short, I looked high, I looked low, I priced out do it myself builds, turn key builds, and used race rigs. I live and work in remote parts of...

    Who Here Has Actually Run the Baja 1000 in a UTV?

    Thank you! I should have specified that I meant the rental of chase vehicles, so that our crew has wheels to get around. Wasn't sure on if I should rent in the US and roll through the border, or rent in Mexico. I will also be sure to look into Mag 7 as people speak well of them.

    Johnny and Acme! Thank you for the responses! I've read enough experiences from people that raced the Baja without a fucking clue, that we have a slim chance at just finishing it. I really appreciate the "if you want it, do it" tone as I'm acting on it. Your experiences sound like wonderful...

    Who Here Has Actually Run the Baja 1000 in a UTV?

    Sorry guys, I did not mean to drop out of this thread after it took off with great pace! I was in working in D.C. at the time and have since moved back home to Alaska and am back at work. I finally have the time to sit down and plan out what I'd rather be doing than working. :) I think the...

    Who Here Has Actually Run the Baja 1000 in a UTV?

    Thank you for all the responses! I should probably state that we'd be thrilled just to finish the Baja 1K! We're still on the fence between buying and building one. There is much hesitation in buying a used rig from across the country, but it could save or cost us extra money in getting it to...

    Who Here Has Actually Run the Baja 1000 in a UTV?

    Greetings all! New here. Long story short, I'm putting together plans to run the Baja 1000 in 2017 or 2018, maybe both. I have a 2013 Walker Evans 900 right now but am looking to sell and get myself into a 1k two seater as a better platform. I've been watching videos and perusing the internet...
