Brian, Kelly, and the guys with the #111 Class 1 Desert Theory Off-Road team invited Onyx and I out to experience a 400 mile race through the Nevada desert with the Valley Off-Road Racing Association (VORRA). It was my first time doing this type of racing, and it was a much different experience than I'm used to! For this first video, we got to meet the guys, see the car, run our qualifying lap, and then do a "pre-run" before we take off for the 400 mile race tomorrow. The race video will be out next! We hope to do more of these in the future.

Please check out Brian's channel to keep up with their team:

  • How many of you have been to an off-road race? This was a unique experience for me!
  • Onyx doing camera and commentating like a pro there. Multi talented kid from multi talented parents.

    Love how excited Brian is to teach and show Zach and Onyx the ropes of Desert racing and the differences of how Zach races.!!!!!!
  • @kevenhiemie
    The true future racer is in the background, I'm sure taking mental notes of everything. Onyx watch and learn because you're going to be one hell of a mob getaway driver or race car driver someday.
  • Zach didn't even have to get out and wiggle some sensor connectors or cycle power on that run. Impressive! 😂

    From farming to motorsport! Both channels are among my favorites on yt. Onyx taking charge of the camera like a pro! He must also be an actor 🤔
  • I'm 60 this year and when I was a teenager my father raced these in the Minnesota and five state region. I still have several of his trophies. Back then he was a member of the north star dunn buggy club. He made many of these over the years. Fun times.

    Great video, Zack. Your son, Onyx, was a professional on the camera. That will be memories that he will always treasure. Never been to one but it looks like a lot of fun. You guys have fun and be safe and thanks for sharing!!
  • This is a sharp looking race car. Those shocks have amazing travel. Not quite like driving on clouds but at least the teeth jarring ditches don't rattle your brains! Of course you are experienced with plowing furrows down the track and planting your tires in perfect position for the next lap.
  • Thanks for sharing your unique experience, I think, with your son! Keep safe. Cheers
  • @dougdavis4439
    I'm excited to see you run that race, Zack. Love the channel!
  • @bighouse1283
    That is definitely some different kind of racing for sure! Rally racing in the winter has always been interesting to me and looks fun until they wreck into the woods😮 Can't wait for part 2. Good job explaining it Onyx😎👍
  • I lived in Pahrump, NV from 1988-1991, and the HDRA ran a race each year that started in Las Vegas and went through the desert near Pahrump. I was privileged to be able to attend those rces. Very exciting. Great video Zach.
  • You should come to Australia for the Finke Desert Rally racing around in the Outback its about 230kms(142.9miles) held over 2 days apparently its one of the most difficult off road races ever , Toby Price the bike rider who won the Dakar Rally has also won the Finke rally
  • @andykean3028
    been waiting for this, kept checking, had a good friend who raced and won his in class ( ATV 4 wheelers) in the Baja 1000 around 12 yrs ago. Tough, tough sport and a hole LOT of fun.

    I got a chuckle out of “car owner corey” and “buggy owner Brian” 😂😂😂😂
  • Impressive video. Nice too see a fella stepping outside his comfort zone. Can’t wait till onyx wants to desert race. Maybe his sister as co pilot?
  • Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. This was interesting. Never seen this kind of racing before in the desert. Wow. Most interesting. Looking forward to more of this. thanks Zach. The Iowa Farm Boy.
