Proposed ATV/Jeep Jamboree Information

Posted by Jeremy on 2010-11-10

I got an email today from Larry Johnson witht the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce and he's looking to put together a ride next April. Here's his email and contact info if you'd like to contact him!

I would like to create an Inaugural ATV and JEEP Jamboree to be hosted by the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce which would kick off in the spring. The ride would be a similar format to the Arizona Outlaw Trail Jamboree in Springerville. Any information, riding group contacts or useful information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Please share with your fellow contacts and let me know if this appeals to your Association, Group or Club and if you might be interested in joining us. More >>

Trent Kendall takes first in class at BITD Vegas to Reno

Posted by Jeremy on 2010-08-24

The 2010 Vegas to Reno race was more important than ever for the Big Bang Desert racing team. We were 2nd in the Best in the Desert Quad Expert points championship because we had a DNF at the Silver State 300. We HAD to finish this race to have a chance at the season championship. If we had another DNF then the our chance at season championship was over. So we altered our strategy and focused on simply finishing the race, not winning.

During pre race testing we ran into a few weird electrical problems. On one ride the quad would flash the “R” reverse light on the dash and there would be a 4000 rpm rev limit. On one occasion the quad completely shut down with no warning, no dash lights, no power, nothing but the battery was fully charged. The engine made great power and the suspension was dialed but these problems were troublesome. Team rider Joe Ramos ended up cleaning up the reverse circuit wiring and his pre race ride went great so we thought we had it all sorted out. Rudy at Dirt Fiend Racing did a pre-race prep on the quad and packed all electrical connection with di-electric grease. More >>
