The Pit Guys

This week we take you on a journey... it is filled with joy and sadness, tears and laughter... and maybe some farting.  And lots of unloading and reloading of tools and gear.  And Jelly Beans. It was a glorious trip, we hope you enjoy!

Wow!  This weeks episode is almost unexplainable!!!  We tried something a little new while we were on vacation this week and we sat down with some of our closet UTV friends to talk about important stuff like the upcoming Taylor Park UTV Rally in August, and that led to an unforgettable evening of memories on our last night of the trip in Hill City, South Dakota!  Give this one a lis...

Holy smokes it's been a busy week! But don't worry folks, we still had time to sit down and record another awesome episode this week!  Hopper got a couple more projects, because why not!  Zach's been busy prepping for a week of vacation in the Black Hills of South Dakota.  Oh Yeah, and we sit down with a couple of badass brothers, Dylan and Josh Dowell!  Dylan is the tire carri...

Join us this week for some great tales from Hopper.  Apologies in advance, but he's pretty wound up!  We also had the opportunity to sit down with the utility player of Ultra4, John Dicus!  This guy loves the right seat and he loves racing!  Tune in to hear a little about his story and maybe learn a few things about John that you never new!

After a nice quiet week off from the podcast, a pretty exciting week of racing, and maybe a little drama, we’re back! This weeks open segment is a doozy, but what else do you expect after an off week from Hopper and Zach! Plus we bring in Aaden Gilbert and we get the inside scoop on what really goes down at the Gilbert Racing World Headquarters! Oh and we might bring the old man Casey Gilbert in f...

This week we are honored to have Ultra4 and Mid America Outdoors very own Pam Hall on the show with us!  It's been a long gloomy week out here in Colorado with the snow and the rain and broken down washing machines and no racing for us, so it was a real pleasure to get to sit down with Pam and hear a little bit about her racing career.  Not only is she the co host with our ole buddy Mile...

Well first of all... what an awesome open segment on this week's show!  You will be entertained, that's a promise!  We have a big announcement this week from Rocky Mountain Speed and Fab, we hear about Hopper's 'interesting' week, and then we got to hang out with Zandy Willems from Rufus Racing!  A lot of folks have heard of Rufus Racing, a two car team that runs in Ultra4's Unlimit...

Paul Wolff is a wheelman, it doesn't matter if he's driving an Ultra4 4400 Unlimited car or a scrap yard Samurai! Hear what makes the unlimited winner of the AREA BFE Beatdown want to go faster and how he got to where he is now.  And just for the record, this episode would have been twice as long if we had kept recording!  We had a great time hanging out with him and can't wait to hang w...

We say it every week, but wow, what an awesome time we had recording this weeks episode!  First off we get to hear about Hopper's adventures from the Ultra4 Area BFE Beatdown!  And then somehow we got one of the most badass guys around, an actual King of the Hammers OG13 member and the current race director for the Ultra4 Series, JT Taylor, to sit down with us!  This guy has done so...

Buckle up, we have a smoking hot open segment and some of the funniest guest to date!  Erin and Griz, with Yellowstone Offroad Racing , are true grassroots racers and promotors.  And they live in South Canada (Montana)!  These folks know how to throw a party and a race!  We can't wait to hang with them again in June!!!

When we reached out to Justin Reece about coming on the show, he said he was all in, but only if he could bring a few of his team members from Rusty Nail Racing on the show with him.  We said hell yeah, we love the idea.  That right there should tell you what kind of guy Justin is and how his team operates.  They run an awesome organization, but they're even better people and we're...

We live in a different world this week then we did last week!   Ultra4 has got new owners!!!  We were fortunate enough to get part of that new management on the show this week in Joey Beck!  Joey comes from Pro Rock Racing and is a part of the leadership at Mid America Outdoors of Jay, OK and he shares a little bit about where MOA and Ultra4 are headed!  Needless to say, we're...

This week we have the pleasure of having 2 guests!  Thats right folks!  My favorite little buddy, Parker, joins Hopper and I during our open segment and bestows some 6-year-old wisdom on us, and then we dial up our good buddy Bobby Lindgren.  What a ham session it was!  As always, we hope you enjoy!!!

What if we told you that we knew a couple of knuckleheads that only had 20 minutes of seat time in a UTV and then decided to race the hardest one day off road race in America?  You should call them crazy for sure!  But these guys did it, and they did it good too!  Rich and Seth went from being off road rock crawling buddies to spending 10 days together in a race car and a small camp...

Wow.  There's not much else we can say about this weeks guest, the current back to back winner of the King of the Hammers UTV race, Kyle Chaney.  This guy is going to change the landscape of King of the Hammers!  We get a small glimpse into where he got his start, what gives him his drive, and where he wants to go.  Goosebumps people, that's what we got out of this episode!!!

Well, we survived King of the Hammers 2022! And we had a blast!  And for better or worse, we thought it would be a great idea to invite the wives of the Rocky Mountain Speed and Fab team onto the show and let them tell a little bit of their experience from their first KOH trip.  Of course we also cover a little bit of Hopper and Zach's escapades and highlights from the first half of the...

It's the week before Ultra4 's King of the Hammers 2022 and The Pit Guys have been hustling!  But there's no rest for the weary, and this week we hooked up with Jake and Jon from Hypercraft USA .  These guys give us the run down on how they got into the EV game, where they are headed with their turn key retrofit kits, and yeah, we might talk a little Ultra4 EV Spec class racing too! &nbs...

It's been a few weeks folks, as Zach and Hopper decided to take a little time to spend with the family over the holidays!  And to shovel snow!  And then shovel some more snow.  This week your in for a real treat though!  If you've ever wondered who was behind the emails, messages, tags, or pretty much any form of communications at Ultra4, then you've chatted with Courtney! &nbs...

We're back at it this week after taking a week off and we decided to bring in the big guns!  We were able to get John Grounds and Triple J from Proving Grounds Racing and Fly Offroad to hang out with us for a little bit and tell us about their story and how they ended up running 3 classes and every points paying event in Ultra4 in 2021!  And we try to get a little dirt on what they might...

This week we have a nice little therapy session with just Zach and Hopper!  We talk about our holiday adventures, some current projects, and really just a bunch of non sense!  We're less then 2 months away from Ultra4's Kind of the Hammers and we can't wait!!!

We've got a big episode for you this week!  A welcome return of the 'open segment' where Hopper and Zach talk a bunch of non sense and an awesome guest in Miles "The Voice of Ultra4 Racing" Hasselquist!!!  Miles was a real hoot, a good old midwestern boy like us that started on three wheelers who is still alive today! It was awesome having him on the show!

I had the chance to sit down with my ole buddy, ole pal Bob Neill a few weeks ago and talk about the good ole days!  Bob's an old school dirt track racer and like most racers, he doesn't forget a thing!  He's a great guy and we had a blast revisiting the glory days!

We got Scott LeSage into the motorhome at Ultra4's Nationals and man, were we blown away by this guys knowledge!  And of course we loved his passion for creating something a little different!  We learned more about suspension in 10 minutes with Scott than most people learn in a lifetime!  He's another great example of what we think Ultra4 is all about and his passion and a drive to...

Join Hopper and Zach as they sit down with Dave Cole, CEO of Ultra4 and Hammerking Productions.  We reached out to Dave about joining us on The Pit Guys and chatting with us about the new 4900 UTV classifications for the 2022 Ultra4 season, and for some crazy reason, he thought it would be a good idea!!!  We also touch on the new EV class, and we find out what kind of bacon Dave enjoys!  Thanks to...

We sat down with Cody Quattlebaum, Driver of the #33 Bandit Offroad Racing Polaris RZR while we were at Ultra4's Nationals at Crossbar Offroad Park in Davis, OK a couple of weeks ago.  Cody is a relative newcomer to racing, but is making a big splash in the 4900 class!  He tells us about how he got into racing, how his Nationals race went, and we talk a little bit about truck campers. &n...
