DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK: My Return to UTV Racing

My return to utv racing was bound to happen sooner or later but I never expected it to be on this level. Let's be honest, I missed the rush of racing after being out of the sport for 6 years. So I decided to race my full body Polaris RZR Pro XP long travel in stock class for the 2024 SRRS Season. Well that was before I found a deal on a hydro steer turbo RZR buggy on FB Marketplace. I made the deal, brought it home, and that is where the real work began. Thanks to Max Off-Road for doing the tear down, roof rebuild, ISP seat mounting and reassembly for me to make this all possible. We took this old school rzr buggy from 64" wide to 72" wide with some ORB Fabrication long travel and RCV Pro Series Axles and Ball Joints. Then we threw on a set of 30" Kevlar Moto Race Tires wrapped around forged KMC beadlocks. We finished it up with only days to spare before taking it to G-Force Racing Technologies in Tennessee for some shock tuning and then it was race time. Watch me battle my way to the Southern Rock Racing Series season opener at Windrock and fight new build gremlins along the way. My first race did not go as planned but we did our best and laid down a competitive time. I guess this is the return of our Extreme UTV series. Check out the full episode and let me know what you think of the new race rig.

What's racing without you! Happy to hear your back. Customized is good. Look forward to seeing you race. ❤

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Thanks we are having a lot of fun with it

[@Dingle-Berries]

I like the white and green paint scheme. Props for trying with no seat time no drive time, on a new rig. I know that feeling of wanting to race and rip out there. Nothing beats it.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I had faith in the rig. Seat time make a big difference though. I’ll get it dialed in

[@donaldhalls2189]

Nice rig looked like it went OK, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I’ll get it dialed in better soon

[@boris2873]

Welcome back!👍 look forward to this season.

Thanks I’m glad to be back

Glad to see you back in a RZR!! Might be time to hit up one of these races.........

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Rush is in a few weeks and will be a massive event. Big fan of the new channel also keep on keeping on. 👊

[@RMM--uv7uk]

Welcome back to racing Matt. It will be nice to watch you in the seat again. You will get it figured out and be competitive for sure. Good luck bud.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Thanks it feels good to be back!

I love this guy hes not annoying...most people annoy the hell out of me...not this guy 😊😊😊😊

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I appreciate that 👊

[@chadelsner9642]

You did great for no seat time and a breakage. Good luck keep it up.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

More seat time and better race results coming soon

[@danoiddano6891]

Glad to see you racing again. It’s always nice to have a dog in the hunt, so to speak. We’ll be cheering you on mang.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Much appreciated, I’ll get it dialed in and start getting more competitive as the season goes on.

[@danoiddano6891]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo you got this. One big thing that could help you win some races is to get someone to let the air out of timmy’s tires, when he ain’t looking. I’m kidding obviously, TC is an ever present force to deal with. The boy is a natural born wheel man. You’re right on his heals. Gettum boyeee

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

I want to beat Timmie when he is at his best.

[@danoiddano6891]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo well I think he’s pretty close 😉

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

he has a hard time keeping up with the UTV class nowadays.

[@thatsharshman.8544]

I have had many hobbies, fishing, hunting, rc, etc. This was by far the most expensive hobby I have ever had, but the most fun too.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Yeah but cheaper than rock bouncer racing lol

[@anthonyjohnson100]

Timmy still killin it. 10 seconds faster is just crazy! It’s fun to watch but nothing is better than driving!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Supposedly 350hp in that built motor big turbo setup. Dude is fast when he has a similar machine much less something with double the budget of mine.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

And notice he was 5th fastest on hill 1.

[@xTinBenderX]

Line Traction Momentum Give 'em a run for their money Racer Matt!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

That’s the plan!

[@UncleManuel]

Yepp, there's no better way to shake down a new rig than doing the test drives on race day. 😁😁😁😜

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Yeah not the best way to go about it turns out 😬

That bunch of rzr buggy sound good ! But earing that maverick x3 powerband open up, its just something else... i wish more can am buggy race in this series

DO you guys run any tire offset from the front to the back. Or does the front and back track n the same path.

Nope same width front and rear

I also noticed that you finally put on the ole feed bag as it where (Gained a bit of weight). Looks good on ya little brother! Also I had stopped watching when you stopped racing.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Thanks, the wife keeps me motivated to go to the Gym. Never slow down, never grow old. Stay tuned for more racing action as I get this new unit figured out.

[@6gatornation]

hard to believe it's been six years you're a little older now you might get a chiropractor 😂

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Better race while I still can! 😬

[@markarnold4868]

Fuel Z at the Warrior exit on I65 has E85

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Good to know! I looked on some apps and this was the only one I could find.

[@eastcoastriders1267]

what hydro system you using? Didnt know they ran hydro on them.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Keeps you from losing steering during a race or the wheel getting ripped out of your hands. Natural State Racecraft makes the kit.

little buggies are fun

Why don't you race buggies since you build them?

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Too expensive honestly.

[@tjpearce8463]

Yo how come you like white so much?

Always liked white vehicles with everything else blacked out. Then I started adding touches of safety green like a media vest.
