  • 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:

    Wow,... that's Dr. Brent Miller's former Class 1-2 race car ! Yes, those are big shocks,... I took the car over to King for a full resizing of shocks and coil carriers , ( cost over $9,000.00 back in 2009 ) ! Car really handled even better with the added by-pass tubes ! Dr. Miller bought the car from McMillin Racing in 2005,... car was driven by Andy McMillin and placed 3rd in the Baja 1000 in 2003 ,.also was featured in the movie, " DUST TO GLORY ". McMillins bought the car from ,... can't remember ,... had Toyota of Escondido on the panels,... was formerly a Class 10 car and Brian Ewald was tasked with puttin a chevy V-6 in it.

    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.

    @donwilliams3626 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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.

      You can actually still see the McMillin sticker on the car. Andy raced this car a couple times and then it was used as a prerunner.
      It’s very special for us racing a car owned by the McMillin family. Kelly talked to Mark and Luke gave him a shop tour. They are a very special family and run an incredible racing team.

      as wet as it was, I think it would have eventually gotten under the tear offs anyway. With being out in the desert, they also don't like the idea of throwing plastic strips out of the cars.

    12:50 Wait so you're telling me you don't use your left foot to brake in a normal day-to-day car? What's the point of an automatic then - I used to drive a manual but since I have automatic cars, I always use both feet to drive. 🤔

    • @betweentherows
      @betweentherows  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I always brake with my left foot in everything. I was racing cars before I had a license, so it's always been natural to me. On the circle track stuff, we ride the brakes a lot in and through the corners
