Jagged X wins 2008 BITD championship
The Jagged X / Polaris Racing team finished the BITD 2008 season in fine fashion with another win at the Henderson Fabtech Desert Classic last weekend in Henderson, Nevada. This win marks our 5th consecutive first place finish this season and the second consecutive championship for Jagged X.
The BITD UTV championship consists of 7 races in various venues spanning the brutal Arizona and Nevada desert terrain. All the other classes in BITD race a 5 race series. The 1919 Polaris RZR also achieved a milestone this season by being the first UTV to ever complete every race mile in a season, logging almost 1600 miles in total.
The Polaris RZR proves over and over that it is the best platform for a desert racing UTV ever. Jagged X must thank all of our great sponsors and suppliers who have helped to build our team and make our success possible.

Jagged X Wins BITD Bilek Silver State 300
The Jagged X / Polaris Racing number 1919 team was able to pull off another win this weekend at the Bilek Silver State 300 in Mesquite, Nevada.
Jagged X started 2nd with a smaller than usual UTV field of only 5 vehicles. With the season winding down and only one month to recover from the grueling Vegas To Reno race many of the teams not in the points chase were not represented at this race.
This Mesquite, Nevada venue was billed as a new race course but our drivers soon discovered that Casey from BITD still had plenty of tricks up his sleeve.
"The most silt ever" said co driver Blake Van de Loo. But the course was loaded with a huge variety of terrain from 7000 ft pine forest to a trip through the old mining town of Caliente, Nevada and even some pretty deep water crossings thrown in to balance it all out.
The Jagged X RZR moved into the lead shortly after the start when the lead car encountered engine trouble.
Just over nine hours later Brandon and Blake crossed the finish unchallenged to score their third season victory and to further secure the lead spot in the 2008 BITD points chase.
The next BITD race is the Golden West 150 (formerly the AVI 150) in Jean, Nevada on October 25. This is a Quad, UTV and trophy lite only race and promises to be an exciting event.
Two in a row for Jagged X at Vegas to Reno
The Jagged X / Polaris Racing #1919 RZR out lasted a field of 14 pro UTV's to take their second consecutive win at the grueling Vegas To Reno BITD race this past weekend.
Jagged X started 2nd in the class and had taken a lead before pit one. The one word to describe the race course was SILT, and lots of it.
Every team in this race fought this battle and several teams were taken out by it's effects. Several motors ingested enough of this powder to kill them dead.
The Jagged X RZR had a couple major battles with hidden obstacles in this sea of poof dirt, but between Brandon and co driver Blake they were able to get the vehicle into the pits where the rest of the crew took over and put the boys back on the track.
We battled the course all night long to finally finish in just over 17 hours. All in all we had a great race and we especially want to thank Polaris Industries for their incredible support.
Our new chase truck was a great asset and made the entire team much more efficient. Thanks to the whole Jagged crew for busting their butts to get it ready for this race. Check the gallery under Custom Vehicles for a closer look at this truck.
Thanks again to all who help with our race program and we will see you all at the Bilek Silver State 300
