Millennial Farmer Races an Extreme OFF ROAD Buggy Through the Desert for the FIRST Time!

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:

    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.

    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.

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.
