Mr. Off-Road
Congratulations to Mark Lindsey On Winning The Baja 500

Mark Lindsay was at FST Motorsports today with the Baja RZR, he had LOTS of cool stories from the race and also something nice to display at the house. He in fact was *THE ONLY* UTV to finish this year. As Sal Fish was presented the award to Mark, he mentioned that "the Baja has not been kind to the UTVs", this tells you how much of a challenge it is to not only race a UTV in Baja but how well built one must be to just finish.

Wow! That's great! Congratulations to him!




Now where are all those Rhino owners/Rzr haters who kept saying the Rzr was weak and could never hold up to normal usage, much less racing...


I'd like to hear some more about that...

rzr's that roll at speed usually get destroyed. besides most utv racers are new to racing, im not surprised most if any finish. i did one desert race with an idiot for a driver, i was co. if i didnt tell him what to do in every situation, and i really mean every situation, we would not have made it 20 miles. we broke a few miles from the finish. terribles town 250. i saw the drop and told him to slow down...........wide open into oblivion. i know a team of really good drivers and one new guy, they had a few hour lead on jagged x, very long race, new guy broke an axle and still tried to go down a steep chute, rolled it took em out of the race.

Congrats on the finish and the win! yay.gif yay.gif

As far as the RZR not holding up, we rolled our RZR at RM 3-4 in the last Primm race. We were doing aprox 45 touched tires while passing another UTV that sent us into a 2-1/2 roll that ended up on the side. We got out shook our ratteled brains. Flipped the car back on its wheels. Then crossed the finish line first 85 miles later. We ended up with 2nd because the 2nd to cross the line actually started 2 minutes behind us.

Desert racing is all about finishing and team work! Not speculation.

Good job guys!

most of the rzrs ive seen in person at short course races that roll get mangled. desert is fun. just not worth the money to me. ill run desert if its me and my buddies dropping money in a hat.
