Once you actually get to ride in or drive a desert vehicle you come to realize how much fun it really is. Its a limitless sport and progresses everyday. There is nothing like flying though the desert at speed and being airborne all the sudden!! I don't see how anyone could not like speeding though rough terrain at drag racing speeds! Ill take going fast over going slow any day. Although going slow is still a lot of fun there is still no comparison! If you ever do get the chance to due this be prepared..You will get hooked and be prepared to spend a lot of money haha! Here is my "Family Wagon"

Im not sure where your located and if they are available near you but go an rent or but some offroad videos. There are tons of them. All the "Rivera racing" vids are good and so are the "Dezert People" vids. Most likely you wont be able to rent those vids but you may be able to rent "Dust to glory" at your local video store. Its a good long movie documenting the Baja 1000. Check them out! If you cant find them you can order them online.

Yeah I live possibly the farthest away from anything like it, Alaska! but I think I am going to check out some of those vids, I have been in love with them ever since I first saw them, even more than rock crawlers and stuff.

Yeah I realized after I actually read the caption, lol. there are so many different classes.

My favorite part about it is the fact that people spend money on these trucks and the prize is only like 20K or something, they're just out there for the Thrill, and good old competition!

Top winnings in BITD is about $4500. That is, if you drive a Ford. Much less if you don't. You don't desert race for the money, lol If you are good there is the possibilty for sponsor royalties, but you'd still be lucky to break even.

There is more to it then that. Whoever is sponsoring the "race" at that time also adds money, parts, gift certs, etc to the pot. You are correct desert racing is not a money making sport unless you are sponsored by someone that is willing to pay you to race and run there name on the truck. Just to be able to go out and do it is enough payback. Racing offroad is also an investment for some. If your parts are race proven and people see that the company grows. Look at Camburg engineering, Giant Motorsports, Blitzkreig, Total chaos etc. If they weren't racing on there stuff or sponsoring people they wouldn't be where they are today. Look at trucks that race in the desert with names like Skyjacker, Procomp, Rancho, Superlift or Fabtech There is not one single part on the race trucks made by any of those manufactures. They are just sponsoring the vehicles for advertisement and it works because it is a good investment for them. The desert scene is still relatively small compared to other motorsports mostly because its very expensive to make these things capable. The cost of the shocks alone can give you a heart attack lol!
