Getting ready for King of the Hammers 2010 UTV Race

I am in the final stretch on a UTV build for the 2010 King of the Hammers UTV Race that will be held in Johnson Valley on February 11, 2010.

Pit Bull Tires has stepped up to the challenge and is proud to be the Title Sponsor of the UTV King of the Hammers race and is offering up a first place purse for this stand alone race of $5,000.

Last year, five vehicles competed in the desert and in some of the most extreme rock crawling environments. This year, the course will be a little longer, a little harder, and will utilize some of the King of the Hammers rule book which includes no spectator help, only competitor help.

Muzzys Performance Products On Board to Build Race Teryx Engine

I made a trip over to Infineon Raceway today and met up with Rob Muzzy of Muzzys Performance Products. Rob and his crew at Muzzys are going to take our 2009 Kawasaki Teryx EFI V-Twin engine that we are going to use in our Race Teryx Project and do a couple of performance modifications for us. Stay tuned as we decide how big to go!

For 25 years he has run successful Kawasaki bikes in an assortment of circuit racing, road racing and motocross, winning 19 major titles in total. In the last few year's, Rob has got on board with the UTV Market, and Muzzys now builds exhaust and performance products for Kawasaki Teryx, Polaris RZR and Yamaha Rhino.

UTVGuide.net's stable is full of UTVs

The UTVGuide.net stable is pretty full of UTVs right now. From left to right we have a demo unit from Polaris (Ranger HD), our Polaris RZR Buildup, our Kawasaki Teryx Buildup, our Kawasaki Teryx Race Project and another demo unit from Polaris (RZR S). It is very awesome to have such a variety of UTVs ready to be driven. This really gives us an opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of each vehicle that can only be gained by using them for more than a day at a media event.
Check back often as we take these different side x sides to events all over the west. If you see us out on a ride or at a race, stop by and say hi and check them out first-hand.

We plan to bring two of these UTVs (not sure which yet) down to The Dune Tour at Glamis on March 20 - 22. And we just returned from King of the Hammers with out race Teryx and demo RZR S.

UTVGuide.net's Teryx crosses the finish line in the 2009 King of the Hammers UTV Race

UTVGuide.net and Roggy Enterprises built up this 2008 Kawasaki Teryx to compete in the 2009 King of the Hammers UTV race.

The race course traversed about 50 miles of whoops, lake bed, sand hills, and extreme rock trails in Johnson Valley OHV area.
In a race that saw lots of breakdowns, the Kawasaki Teryx driven by Bob Roggy and spotter Jon Crowley crossed the finish line and could have kept going. Truly a testament to Teryx and the components used to put modify it for the race.

The Teryx is UTV of the Month for February 2009. Check out more pictures here:
