PitBull Tires UTV race at KOH - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I finally got the Map close to done for the PitBull tires race at KOH.

I will be out at the Hammers next weekend looking at one additional trail for the UTV race. The mileage wont change that much.

Just under 60 miles. A few of the guys from last year said they thought the race was a little rougher then what they would like to see. The over all tone was that most people would not like to completly destroy their rig in just one race.

With that in mind I had to find a compromise of a fun technical course, but error on the side of keeping the UTV's from a complete carnage fest.

This year the trail that gave last years race the most trouble is way harder. Aftershock took a beating over the last year. Most all the trails will be really rough by Thursday due to KOH pre running. I also took that into consideration when doing the layout.

This years UTV rock trails are a bit easier then last year, but you will find with the increase in mileage you will get to see some great trails. One of the trails is a brand new trail that has seen very little in the way of traffic, and the other will not be used by the KOH main race. I have one remote pit that is located in the first 12 miles for guys that have early trouble.( seems that takes a lot of guys out) and the course will return to main pit within the first 3rd of the race. the last 2-3rds of the race will not have pit access so that is where the endurance of the race will come into play. You will need to be able to run about 40 miles with out a fuel stop.

There has not been a lot of interest in the UTV race, so it looks like someone will walk away with an easy $5000.

Sounds like it should be really good. We have a good group of guys coming down to watch and help crowdog if he needs it. Can't wait for Feb!

When will the course be made public?

The week of the event.

SWEET!

I say make it tougher and longer, but I guess it's too late.

I hope interest picks up.

Damn! Someone rent me a race ready UTV!

Last year I counted less than 5 that started. Maybe 10 will start this year...
That is a 10% chance of winning $5,000!
