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:

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.!!!!!!

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!!
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 🤔
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.
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.
Zach didn't even have to get out and wiggle some sensor connectors or cycle power on that run. Impressive! 😂

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 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
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.

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'm excited to see you run that race, Zack. Love the channel!
This is new! More dirt racing, I love it!!
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 sharing your unique experience, I think, with your son! Keep safe. Cheers
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.
I got a chuckle out of “car owner corey” and “buggy owner Brian” 😂😂😂😂
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.
Awesome job. Can't wait for the next video
It’s always a good day when this channel uploads a video!!
Super awesome video!!! Good luck in the race! 🏁👍🏼😁
Awesome video! Great camera work Onyx!

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.
Im digging the idler!
Great video You guys!
how dare you come this close to me and not get a free lunch. lol reno baby

Awesome video I have not been to a off road race before but I would like to go one day
Now that looks like a lot of fun!
A donut pillow and a large tube of Preparation H is in your future.lol. Have fun and be safe.

Cool race
Wooooohoooo so has to be fun

You need to get those peal away lens covers

What was the red duck tape for on the helmet?
Man that's fucking awesome that's one of my dreams is to race in the desert
Cant you get tear offs for your visor ?
Zach, you need to bring along a coke bottle tomorrow. You need to empty on the go ;-)
13:04 OPE!
Very cool racing. Why not use rear off visor shields

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.
Top speed

Where are the videos of that new Polaris snowmobile???
That Ranger looked to be 4WD. If it is may want to check with Cleetus if that’s okay. May have to pull the front driveshaft plus the center of gravity would be a disadvantage. Cheering you on at the race.

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. 🤔

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
