DragonFire Racing loses the motors and brings their pedals to the 15th Annual 24-Hour National Championship series in Moab Utah last weekend.
In fourteen years time this race has become one of the single greatest mountain bike races in the history of the sport. For one short weekend, a mountain bike city grows up out of the desert graze-lands and host more than 2500 racers, support crews, and spectators in a stunningly beautiful, completely remote venue and then, in two days, it’s gone. The 24 Hours of Moab, is a world-class event that draws teams from all over the world. The racing was marked by outstanding performances, mighty winds early on, and a determination to have fun, come what may. In the tent city that surrounds the pits and timing tent, more than 2500 racers and support crew endured the cold night and blowing sand.
I would like to thank my sponsors for making this all happen. I rode my Specialized S Work Epic up and down some of the most demanding terrain myself and the bike has seen. Of the 7 hours I spent on the bike, 5 were in Darkness. The new DFR LED lights made the night riding both easy and fun. When most riders were slowing down or walking the difficult decent, the beam pattern and brightness allowed me to stay on the bike and descend at daytime speeds.
Ogio and Domani Trailers provided us the creature comforts of home. With freezing temperatures at night, the hot showers, plasma Tv’s, full kitchen and beds for the team allowed us to stay strong through the grueling event.
We have Beat the Baja, and now have beat the 24 hours of Moab. Endurance Racing is a challenge of the mind, body and soul. As much as you battle the competitors you battle yourself even more. My youngest daughter asked me why I continue to participate in these events and I had to pause and give it some thought. These are memories we should not live without, these are times when you learn who you truly are, and these are opportunities to experience and do what other people can’t. In a difficult economy 1600 racers traveled from all parts of this world with their family and friends to win or just finish this race. They did it for their own specific reason, but the common one was “To Do What Other People Can’t”.
See you next year, maybe I will Iron Man both the 24 hours of Moab and the Baja 1000

Baja or Bust
We took 14 new People, 7 new DragonFire Equipped Kawasaki Teryx’s, and we headed to Baja last week to see if our cars and customers could beat the Baja. I had the luxury of brining my wife, but she insisted that she got to drive the Teryx, and I would ride my KX 450 all weekend. I also got to spend the weekend with my friends Lori and Larry Roeseler as well as the DFR support crew of Jack and Darren, and my could friends from ITP. It was amazing to see all these new vehicles, new people to both Baja, and off road driving, put the DFR products to the test. Each Kawasaki Teryx had our Black Magic Long travel kit, DFR 2 Seat Cage, Seats, Seat Belts and DFR Performance package. The weekend was a testament to what we do, and how well we prepare. A Fuse, a dead battery and a few flats from driving in the dust was all we encountered the entire weekend. Every DragonFire Prepared Kawasaki Teryx and each one of our customers made it back from 420 Miles of driving with no issues. As a designer, a racer, and enthusiast, it was exciting for me to see the products we develop work so well and without failure. We spend a lot of time testing, but to have new people try to go brake our products and come out unscathed was the highlight of my weekend.
I have attached some great images from our trip. Hope to see you in Baja.

DragonFire Racing Launches DFR Sport
|
|
|
 DragonFire Racing has spent the past several years designing the most advanced and best performing performance products in the SXS market. We have developed almost every product from the wheels to the roof top for the SXS industry. Last year we completed our DragonFire Racing offering by introducing our Baja Crippler Bead Lock Wheel, DragonFire Led Light Bar, and our Internal Race and Play Engine Components. These products helped DFR win the Baja 500, and put many of our customers on the podium in GNCC, WORCS, BITD, SCORE and LOORS every weekend. We are the company that has been able to deliver Race level Products for both the Weekend Warrior and the Podium Finisher.
We decided for 2009 and 2010 that we would look at the utility side of this market and are excited to launch our DFR Sport Line. Our new line of Products takes DragonFire Racing into all new markets. We are excited to introduce three new products. DFR By Fox OE replacement shocks, DFR ½ windshield and our new DFR IPod ready Stereo Kit. Look for more DFR Sport Products to come to market over the next 12 months.
You can also follow us on Twitter for the latest DFR updates as well as race and test highlights.

DFR by Fox
|
 |
With countless hours on the trail, in the sand and through the mud, We believe that DFR by Fox is the best OE replacement shock available. This is a direct replacement shock, allowing for increased wheel travel and better overall performance of your vehicle. This is not our Black Magic Full suspension kit, but a Factory replacement shock with Dual High and Low Speed Compression adjustment that many of our customers have been asking for. These shocks give you the ability to tune your suspension for your own driving style and application. DFR by Fox is shock that will take you UTV to new places, adding both comfort and performance to your vehicle.
These shocks are available for the Rhino, RZR, RZR S, Teryx, and Prowler XTZ.
