The car was perfect through the whole race.We shut it off one time for scheduled belt and air filter change.Checked the oil and went with no issues.
A friend of DFR was going to race a leg for a motorcycle team and him and another guy crashed prerunning and broke bones.We found out in prerunning that the new valve train setup was having issues after 100 plus miles of testing and prerunning so we switched back to the old setup for the race and the car was running 7-8500 rpm for 24.5 hrs with no issues.It couldnt have gone better.

congrats !!!! followed you on irc and as a fellow desert racer all i can say is WOW....and to all that started congrats aswell.

 

[DRAGONFIRERACING]

Thanks guy's I'm gathering up all the info so far all I know is that our Nessy finished around 3 hours in front of the rest of the class and the Nessy we built for ITP (the production one) had a great running but ran into issues with the pickup in the fuel tank and they kept running out of gas. At one point during the race the pit had closed forcing them to go find a gas station during the race in the UTV Haha they ended up running over the time limit but they did make it all the way to the finish.

NICE PICS... have a question are all the UTV's 1 seaters that ran the baja

We were the only single seater. Our other entery Nessie 2 was the two seater.

 

[JoeyD23]

no, most are 2 seats. I think this car is the only single seat SXS in baja and maybe in desert racing.

 

[RZRS EDGE RACING]

Cool, thanks for the info.

 

[DRAGONFIRERACING]

The Blue 2 seat ITP car is our production model.

BITD requires you to have a codriver...

Congrats to the whole dragonfire kawasaki team. Maybe next year we'll see you on the starting line

 

[DRAGONFIRERACING]

Hope so! it would be nice to see some RZR's out there.

 

[RZRS EDGE RACING]

I think we will be taking the the RZRS EDGE RACING 1912 to the 1000. Think it all works out with our 2010 schedule could try 500 but might be a little hard with running all the BITD races next year...
