superdave Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 best in the desert has a class for the rhino in thier off road races. 2 of them ran at the terrible 400. only had to do 1 lap but when they went by everyone was cheering and clapping. they were hauling butt. faster than some of the race vehicles that went by. looks like cheap fun for entry level offroad racing.

crazymexeddie Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 if my fat boss knew about rhinos she would cruise around work in one while she eats her pretzels with a built in cheese dispenser on the dashboard! Quote
rhino king Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 30,000 for a race rhino dave thats cheap,think again maybe for a golf car unless some ones got a rhino for sale for 3k then were talking Quote
EY3BA11 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 lets build a roll cage around a raptor and give it a rowaseats a engine and another optional row of seats... WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
superdave Posted December 12, 2005 Author Posted December 12, 2005 30,000 for a race rhino dave thats cheap,think again maybe for a golf car unless some ones got a rhino for sale for 3k then were talking im sorry but i didn't see 30 grand in the rhinos i saw at the race. you can run a quality sportsman class, 9 car class or even a 5/1600 class car and get a full day of racing in with some competition for less than than 30 grand. of course thats doing most of it by yourself. i can see if your not the least bit mechanically inclined it could add up.

PiercedBoy Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 (edited) Are you freakin serious? 30+k into a Rhino!!!!! People with TOO much time and TOO much money confuse me. I bet Rhino owners also have Dodge Magnums w/ HEMIs & Chopper edition 22"s and get mad when I call it the midlife crisis minivan! YES I do know that i'm being very opinionated and I do things that others can talk crap about but, that's the beauty of an opinion. It's mine not yours... To each his own I guess, it's your money.

superdave Posted December 28, 2005 Author Posted December 28, 2005 apparently rhino's are racing at other events on their own without other race vehicles on the track. they had a race at a CORR event in san diego and was popular. SNORE says if there is enough interest that they would put on a demo race. Quote
superdave Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 there has been enough interest in rhino racing that SNORE is going to have them race on the infield at the start finish line of the first race next month at primm. it will be 15 minute races during the time they are working on the track between races. run what you brung and race for a trophy. details to come later.

I don't get 5/1600's unless you are so large you need that door to get in. For $30k you can get a nice, slightly used 1/2 1600 and race with the absolute best. Quote

pjcnlv Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) vw engine ya and work on it every day no thanks,,ill take a rhino over that any day!!!! What? I know too many 1600 class racers that run the same motor and box all season. 1600 is cheaper to run than Class 9. Good luck with your class but I do not see it around in a few years. If the Mini-Mags couldn't make it there is no way a Golf Cart class will prevail. Edited March 1, 2006 by pjcnlv Quote
superdave Posted March 1, 2006 Author Posted March 1, 2006 they ran the rhinos between races at primm for intermission entertainment. just roundy roud for 10 minutes a race. it was fun to watch but i dont see it being a serious class either, at least not for long. snore started a champ car class last year and thats what im building. a good entry level easy on the budget class. i just want to race and have fun. maybe move up in class later. i co rode in a 5/1600 car last race and that was fun.

The Champ Car class is right on! That's one that should spread. Kenny has the right idea!! Quote
MultiScaleRacer Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Here are some race Rhino pictures taken by HighRev Photo last week at the San Felipe 250. HighRevPhoto.com Quote
superdave Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 how many raced that weekend and were they part of the regular race course with the others or did they have thier own course? Quote
MultiScaleRacer Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 There were just the three and they ran the same course, but none of them finished. I don't know if they broke or they ran out of time. Sportsman Rhino Results are: Official DNF 1801 Jeff Sonn \ 10:55:30 DNF 1802 Cory Sappington \ 10:56:00 DNF 1803 Joe Moore \ 10:56:30 Quote
superdave Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 (edited) i know they have problems with the belt burning up under extreme use like a race. Edited March 19, 2006 by superdave Quote

Quote
MultiScaleRacer Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Those would have been start times, one every 30 seconds. DNF, so no finishing time. Quote
superdave Posted March 20, 2006 Author Posted March 20, 2006 ha ha. didn't snap to that. i guess those would be start times. would like to find out what happened. the problem with that whole class is for what it cost to buy a rhino and get it to survive a race is that you can build a 9 car or just run sportsman or in the case of snore with the new champ car class build a car alot less than the cost of a rhino.
