Special Pricing on Simpson D3 Harnesses until July 31, 2012

The Simpson D3 buckle does what no other buckle system can. It provides the ease and convenience of a sewn in harness without the shoulder straps being sewn to the lap belt. Its unique patented design eliminates the two shoulder strap links while still allowing the shoulder straps to be joined at the center of the buckle, truly emulating the V-Shape of a 5 point latch and link system.

NorCalRockRacing.com opens up to allow UTVs for 2012 Season

NORCALROCKRACING.COM has opened its race format to allow UTVs. 3 race series held on June 2nd, August 4th, and September 29th at Prairie City State Vehicular Recreation Area in Rancho Cordova, CA (near Sacramento).

The racing will use much of the long VORRA -Valley Off Road Racing Association track, but also add a rock crawling section in the midfield area. For those UTVs that are concerned about the rocks, we have been told there will be a bypass option. Expect this to be a mix between a VORRA course and King of The Hammers. 

Stock and modified classes available and entry fee is only $100!

We plan to be there with our Muzzys  Kawasaki Teryx for this race!

Bagged an 11,000 ft. Peak in Nevada

This shot is way above Hawthorne Nevada at over 11,000 feet elevation on top of Mt. Grant. When significant Nevada peaks are considered, Mt. Grant makes the short list for many reasons. At ~11,270', it is one of the 25 highest named peaks in Nevada, as well as the highpoint of Mineral County. The line of sight on a clear day exceeds 130 miles, encompassing Sierra peaks south of the Palisades on one side all the way to peaks near the north end of the Sierra beyond Reno.

We did about 130 miles in our Arctic Cat Wildcat and even made it to Bodie ghost town. Saw a lot of cool terrain and great mines.

 We came into Bodie state park (in California no less) riding our UTVs. Most people come in from 395 south of Bridgeport, but we drove in the back way from The Elbow on the East Walker River. 

Bodie is an original mining town from the late 1800's. What's left today stands in a state of "arrested decay" and is part of the California State Parks System.

Off-Set Field Mowing with our Kunz Engineering Rough Cut Mower

Would you believe ..... more field mowing? This rough cut mower from Kunz Engineering can be setup to cut off-set from the John Deere Gator so I can cut closer to the pond and also at more of an angle. Very slick.

NORRA Mexican 1000 Adventure Begins

OK, here is the 411 on what is going on for the General Tire NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally.

Wally from Side x Side Outfitterz and Jon from UTVGuide are pairing up to drive a Polaris RZR XP 4 from Mexicali to San Jose del Cabo over 4 days and 1,100 miles. ... Although we are not entered as a participant in the race, we will most likely drive more miles in our support role. Our XP 4 is almost completely stock with just a few changes for comfort and safety.

Huge thanks to those that have made this trip possible: Polaris Off-Road Vehicles, SIDEXSIDE OUTFITTERZ, Marty Fiolka, Rigid Industries - LED Lighting, Pit Bull Tires, Pro Armor, SXSPerformance.com, Omf Performance Products, Muzzys, Inc.

We cross the border at Calexico on Saturday morning for tech in Mexicali and the rally starts on Sunday. As wifi permits we will be uploading pictures each day, but it could very well be a black hole for several days.

Looking forward to the trip south with some huge legends of off-road racing and some killer vintage race vehicles.

This will be a great adventure and a killer test for man and machine. Wish us luck!

Ten Day Tour of Nevada is a WRAP!

Our ten day Tour of Nevada is a wrap. This was an incredible journey that my son and I will never forget. We traveled over 1800 miles in our truck (200 off pavement) and another 200 miles in our Polaris RZR XP at various off-road areas and ...backroads. From shredding dunes in Amargosa, to being inside the Hoover Dam, to Cirque du Soleil's show Mystère, to an underground tour of the Lehman Caves, to strolling around the ghost town of Delamar we experienced a wide variety of sites and learned a lot about Nevada. I think my son David has enough material for an incredible report - one full of first-hand experiences.

This trip could not have been possible without our partners: Polaris Off-Road Vehicles , ICON Vehicle Dynamics, Pro Armor, Baja Designs Motorcycle Products, DragonFire Racing, Dirtndunes.com, Placerville Polaris & Power Tools, RZ Mask, UTV Off-Road Magazine and STI Tire & Wheel.

Time for a new air filter?

Rick up at Placerville Polaris & Power Tools just sent me this pic to show me how bad my air filter was in our RZR XP! Damn, the filter was new before King of the Hammers and Glamis. Definitely time for a new one. LOL
