New BITD UTV class for 2013
- Thread starter UTV Racing Association
- Start date
800 and below get some worcs and gncc guys to come over. get huge entries first then split it. 1000cc class, 900cc class, 800cc class.
850 is good. Cut the price in half and your have twice the racers too. Not everone has that deep of pockets to race bitd Racing should be about skill and driver. Not money . Why would a worcs guy cross over when he can race the whole season for what 1 bitd race cost. Makes no sense in my eyes. I hope it happens tho. I will go watch. Permits and what not cost money I know but still
A lot of the entry costs of best in the desert is land use fee's. There is also a pay back, which you dont see at worcs. Also once you have particapated in a BITD race you would probably agree that it is on a wayyyy different level than WORC's....Its more of the "Big Show"
I agree with the 850 and down class. There are alot of teryx, rhino, and RZR owners that I would think would be interested.The begining of the season is upon us, it might be tough to get a comitment this year, but Id bet to get it for next year would be very do able.
I say keep it at 800cc. This will help keep the costs down in the class plus make the rhino more competitive in the class. There are tons of rhinos out there that could be brought back out. I think most of us all started in a rhino.
If you make it 850 then the John Deeres can run in it and also the existing Teryxs with 840 kits.
I've co drove in Parker before its a big show . But I'm too cheap to pay that kind of money 
. They should give first time racers a better deal to get them hook
Cause after we when and raced ect.. I could have made almost two house payments. So that what made us not wanna do it. I had fun don't get me wrong The cost per fun factor doesn't add up in my book 850class would bring back all the old units tho for sure the die hard guys

No, there were not enough teams to make the class for 2013. The plan is for the 800cc and under UTVs to race in the sportsman UTV class (they can always race the Pro class if the choose) The UTVRA will collect $100 at tech, for a prize fund, from the teams that want to particpate. If there are 5 or less, than only 1st and 2nd will be paid out, 6 thru 10 entrees than 1,2,3 will be paid 10 or more 1,2,3,4,5 will be paid. The UTVRA will also have a trophy for the class at the awards. So to sum it up, for 2013 the goal is to develop the class, so that in 2014 we can make it a pro class. By entering the sportsman class and particpating in the prize fund, teams will pay less than the pro class. There will be no points money at the end of the year, but we will name a champion by the best finishing record for the season and a trophy will be giving out to that team. Plz contact me if you plan on racing the 800cc and under program.
That will definatly get the class going. I would think that next year there would be plenty of enteries.
Good idea Corry!! That should workout good! Thanks for your support and willingness to acomidate our needs!
