- So, we have some news...
Spencer and I will be joining Idiot Racing as a Driver/CoDriver team for their attempt at the Baja 1000 this year in November. We are extremely excited for this opportunity and can't wait to get started. There has already been a lot of history made with this Class 11, what with it getting stolen in Mexico and the community coming together to get it back was just so beautiful. Make sure you check out their story as well! Give em a follow on Instagram @idiot.racing and tell em we sent ya... 😉👌
In this video we meet up with Idiot Racing for the Mojave Offroad (M.O.R.E) PCI 300 in Lucerne Valley. We stopped by Tim Sletten so he could help us check our cv angles as well as weld some rear shock mounts up so we could make it to the race. Check him out on Instagram @slettenengineering , he is definitely the mastermind behind these buggies 👍
And...our race day didn't quite go as planned...we definitely had some hiccups, "rough patches" this weekend. We popped 3 tires. Like damn. And had electrical gremlins...which ultimately stopped Spence and I on the track in the end... 😭 But there were a TON of positives this weekend!
We met a ton of cool people and learned that this is something we want to pursue more in life. A big thank you to Perfect Motorsports for really helping us out huge in the pits to get the car back in working order so that Spence could have a shot driving the course and I a chance to ride in an actual race car! Totally lit us on fire about racing. I think Spence and I may just be thinking about building our own Class 11... 🤤🔥 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
The wiring is junk..needs to be professional race wiring job. And that car needs 💯% tear down n race prep
100% agree with you 👍
Awesome to see you guys growing and trying new adventures. A few words of wisdom though, that car has no business racing the Baja 1000 in that condition. Get a few local races under your belt, get some finishes, refine the car, and gain more experience. Go to Baja with an experienced team and learn the ways before racing, it will make it so much more fun and memorable for when you do go racing.
I've raced the Baja 1000 many times, its a beast! This year it will be running down the peninsula to La Paz, this is not for the unprepared or inexperienced. I'm not saying this to discourage you, only to educate and encourage you to do your homework and be prepared.
Maybe I'll see you down there and if I do I'll be the first to help if you need it. I'll be running in Class 1
Best of luck to you guys, love your channel.
100% correct.
What a bummer with the gremlins guys, but get it fixed now and right before more races. It will come together for Mike and you guys 👏🏻
Very cool! Good luck with the race! I'm looking forward to watching it on your channel.
That's racing! But it's all a learning experience.
Make sure you use GOOD OIL.. like Amsoil etc...
Key.. I know it's hard but keep a cool head. A mad mind never thinks well. Sometimes the fix is simple, but with a mad mind you don't think of the easy stuff.
What tire pressures are you running?
"Electrical crimp is loose"
Note to self, don't use crimps on race applications. They MAY work on the street but not likely in a race applications. Use a sodering iron, shrink wrap and make is secure.
They "1st race" let's you know what us actually needed to race. Lol been there done that on many occasions (super bike racing, SCCA Road racing AND Rally racing)
Tim's the man he tune my 2332 I couldn't be more happier
The 1000 is a monster! I love the ambition, but I'd suggest having fun at a few MORE, CODE or VORRA races first. The cost alone for the team, not to mention a complete car prep, when going down south is a fairly large hurdle for those with normal sized pockets. Whatever you decide, best of luck - goodness knows you guys put in the effort!
Why is that other guy being so rude y'all trying to help him lol
Your doin it!!!!! Badass!
Thank you 😁🤙
This is awsome, wish we could do something like that 👍 I should send you some Backyard buggies stickers for "good luck" 🤣👍😂
In the 1000.. their will be areas with hours of no radio communication among lots of other things.. and the money it costs is a heafty price
Man..theirs a couple things wrong with that lower shock bolt..and judging the car,, I would be absolutely blown away if the bug even finished the 1000.. I've raced the 1000,, 9 times in class 1.. got a e second place n two 3,d places..
Me encanta verlos saludos de Mexicali Baja California 💪
You're living my dream!
Glad we can take you along for the journey 🤙
What's stopping you? You can look around for your local rallycross, buy a beater off Facebook market place, Craigslist etc... and get a taste of it for yourself.
I like your style 😎👌
@@dustbuggy that's how I started, and now I usually podium. Learn from every race, drive it like you don't care about it, when it's all over and you get it back home , baby it and take care of it because you love it!
It’s easy to see y’all are on the right trail. Humble racing beginnings are the best foundation. The overall momentum y’all are getting moving in this realm is actually quite substantial. Cheers!
p.s. what is that silver car under the blue tarp Spencer? It looks classy as HELL!
So awesome to be near a place like this to race.. I live in the mountains of TN and it’s all crawl around here. I want to come out west so bad to play in the sand.
Hey now, I've seen you guys and your woods buggies... You all know how to have fun too out there in TN, AL, NC & KY... probably more great places to ride too!
@@mtnduck3674 can’t argue there.. they’re some great mountain trails.. just hard to find those flat out places you know. They’re there.. just on private lands.
I have 47 years in class 11 and have never run a fan
Dusty crew miss you guys what’s upppp
OMG I’m so Impressed and Jelly A dream come true Dust Buggy Rules I bow 🙇♂️ 2U hope to see U at off road Expo sept9….???
Actually, we have our very own Offroad Meet that we will be hosting in Dove Springs that weekend! If you are interested in checking that out you can find all the info here! 😁👌 fb.me/e/2tnaTF13K
Electrical gremlins in a Volkswagen...😑 not suprised.
What is that blue thing atop the car?
Is that the same car that got stolen in the 500?
Yep! This time she made it to the 1000 and through 131 miles of it 👌
I have won 9 Baja 1000s save yourself a lot of head ack and dont go
I went to the pci 300 I was the one in long her
I meant hair
Please don't wear that hat again .
