LOL.... Love those posts!!

We will be there on the track taking pics of all you sexy bitches!

1954/84 is out! Sure would like to overall 3x but I sold it and don't think I could pry it from the new owners hands. Best of luck to everyone racing. If you have a chance to do the prerun... Do It! It was the only time I could slow down and really enjoy the views!

Hopefully Justin does not Tear out BITD car up this weekend at rd4 of WORCs We had some serious misfortune on our brand new WORC car last night

The drawing for starting positions is this Wednesday and the race is only 19 days away! Can't wait.

If you have never raced the Silver State 300, it is wild. We start right behind the bikes and ATV's at around 6 am. Then there is a 3 hour gap they they unleash the Trophy Trucks/Class 1's and everyone else! It takes place in eastern Nevada and goes through some truely epic country. Tons of elevation change, water crossings, fast and scenic! If it is like years past you actually drive on a elevated train tressle coming into Caliente.

Good stuff!

I can't wait we are going to hopefully test the car in barstow sat and then we will be dialed and ready to go, sounds like a fun race!

Staggs,

Do you race that Rhino in this race? I've got a pretty quick and well built Rhino but wondering if many Rhinos can finish and compete in a race like this? I'm a rook at BITD but am interested in getting out there.

this is what my rhino looks like now, this will be the longest race I have raced it in but out of the few BITD races I have attended etc there is a few rhinos and yes they do finish one finished vegas to reno last year!. So I have mostley done short course in the rhino and a few short desert races and grand prixs,WORCS etc but it definatley can. So if your beast meets the rules of BITD then you should give it a run. So we will see how it goes.

Drawing results are up! We drew 5th and Brandon drew 8th. Beats the chit out of LAST for the Mint. Plus it looks like there are only 20 bikes and quads signed up so far and thus starting in front of us, so we could be in for some epic UTV racing.

Prepping my car for some races so had some questions. Not sure if I should race this Rhino or start over with an XP4. $$$$$$$.

If your Rhino is super reliable and you are new to BITD racing, then my recommendation is for you to race your Rhino in the sportsman class. You will have a blast and learn a ton. But if you question the reliability of your Rhino don't. It makes for a long day when you are broken down. Ultimately you will want something like a XP4 to race in the Pro class.

Appreciate the advice, thanks bud.

it just depends on whats done to your rhino I guess to start over will cost you some money thats for sure but the xp's and can ams are doing awsome.

 

[South Bay 4 Life]

Agreed. All I really need is a welded-in cage/chassis and I'm working on that. Motor & suspension are pretty dialed.

BITD is the goal though.

 

[dmurray]

Here is the start order.....

If you want to come out and enjoy racing BITD, Silver state can be a great race to start. It is not to rough, just make sure your Rhino is reliable. It will be much more enjoyable. Race sportsman, and then if you like it you can always move up or build another UTV and compete. Two years ago our rhino won SS 300.

less then two weeks to go

I just got the F.I.P. and map in the mail today. The course looks really fun. A lot like last year but some new stuff thrown in also. Hats off to Casey! The Silver State 300 is one of my favorite races. Can't wait!
