The rhino is gonna finish up front in Parker on the 8th, so it should be ready to win the Soboba race the following weekend! Cant wait to get everyone together again. 2009 was out of control, literally and figuratively!
 
I cant wait! Bringing the hauler out for this one! UTVUnderground will be dominating this piece!
 
So what day do the UTVs race? They list a UTV Unclassified on Friday, and a UTV Open on Sunday. I assume the UTV open is the big race?
 
Good question Ben. I will be out there on Sunday to do some track layout scouting with the Soboba team and will get confirmation from the guys on the UTV race schedule!

If anyone else has any other questions they want answered please let me know!
 
Soboba is right around the corner. Everyone should enter this race.

Joey! Any more info on Soboba? Are UTVs racing on Sunday? How long is the course and whats it like?
 
I was hoping to have all the info by now but I have not had time to get out to Soboba, the rain didnt help. Once I get with Jacob I will everyone in. The course is just over 6 miles BTW. All UTV's can race no matter the motor as long as it was an origional UTV frame. No full tube chassis vehicles meaning it had to have origional frame rails etc...I will try and firm rules up. I am BURRIED
 
I talked to Jacob when we were figuring out VIAIR's place for the Soboba Grand Prix.

He said, you either need doors that are shoulder height or nets...
 
Sounds like fun. Might have to hit up the guys at magnum for some doors. Is the a class for stock suspend utv's.
