To help accommodate larger riders, DragonFire Racing is now making its HighBack racing seats available in both regular and XL.

“We know that not every RZR owner is built like a jockey, so we shaved the bolsters back to accommodate larger waistlines, but did not compromise on the secure feeling you get when strapped in for those who need a little X-tra in the seat,” says Chris Moore, Dragonfire social media manager. “The lowered design also makes for a little more legroom for taller types.”

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month so it is fitting that two-time Mint 400 UTV winner Lacrecia Beurrier’s RZR sports the pink ribbon in support of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Lacrecia will be helping people to “think pink” at the Off-Road Expo in Pomona, Calif., this weekend as part of the DragonFire Racing display.

“The pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness is not something Lacrecia just slapped on the car because the Off-Road Expo happens to be held in October,” says DragonFire social media manager Chris Moore. “She was running the ribbon and pink trim for both her Mint 400 wins. When she is not ripping it up on the race course, Lacrecia’s ‘real’ job is a registered nurse in Lake Havasu, Arizona.”

DragonFire Racing will be unveiling its 2014 product line at this weekend’s Sand Sports Super Show in Costa Mesa, Calif. As well, DFR promises to reveal its most audacious project yet.

“Honestly this is the biggest unveil in DragonFire’s history, literally,” says social media manager Chris Moore. “Not to let the cat out of the bag, but I can say the vehicle we are unveiling has the biggest displacement of any project build we have ever done!”

Taking inspiration from its off-road racing heritage, DragonFire Racing has introduced new SuperSport Side View Mirrors for UTVs.

These mirrors are constructed of CNC-machined billet aluminum. Utilizing heavy duty two-bolt cage clamps and a one-piece mirror housing, the SuperSport Side View Mirrors are designed to decreases the risk of damage should they come into contact with brush out on the trail. A pliable rubber gasket prevents the glass from popping out should you accidentally tap something on the trail.

“Our LED Dome Light was designed to be as useful as possible while staying simple,” says DragonFire’s Chris Moore. “We developed a 304 stainless steel mounting basket that attaches to almost any 1½” -2″ diameter cage tube. Low profile zip ties secure the mount to the cage tube with no need for welding or wrenches… again part of our design brief to keep things clean and simple.”

“Kind of ironic to introduce these fire extinguisher mounts when we are always telling people to ‘Feel The Heat’ isn’t it,” says Sales & Marketing Manager Brice Ginn. “However when you have too much heat, our new single-pin quick-release fire extinguisher mount makes it possible to cool things off in a hurry!”

DragonFire’s quick release billet fire extinguisher mounts accommodate a standard 2.5-pound fire extinguisher. The lightweight billet mounts come in a choice of black, red or blue anodized finishes for a distinctive look. When it comes to functionality, the single-pin design makes for quick and easy access, even when the pressure is on!

After a tough couple of races, Team DragonFire’s Ken Benson blazed to a commanding Class 2 (850cc Production UTV) win at the WORCS race at Race Town 395 in Adelanto, Calif. this past weekend. Described as a “torture test,” Benson blitzed through the tough terrain due to his newly dialed-in suspension system. He was even able to turn lap times on par with the 1000cc Class 1 UTVs despite a 150cc displacement disadvantage.

“Race Town 395 was one of the most aggressive tracks of the season,” says Benson. “After spending the first half of the year chasing mechanical and suspension issues, the car was perfectly dialed-in for Race Town! The desert loop was completely whooped out and the MX track jumps forced decisions to be made at every launch… fortunately we were able to float through the entire course while others struggled.

Always on the cutting edge of UTV accessories, DragonFire Racing has officially released a line of billet shifter kits for the Polaris RZR family. CNC-machined from solid billet aluminum, the new Girder and Aero style shifters look fantastic and offer the much-desired combination of light weight and strength.

“Frankly, we were amazed at the response something as simple as a shift knob elicited from dealers when we offered a sneak peek at the Dealer Expo back in February,” says DragonFire GM Scott Highland. “We had to accelerate production to make them available in time for riding season.”

History was made this year at the Mint 400, as UTV classes were included for the first time. DragonFire celebrated with wins in both the Pro SxS class and the UTV Sportsman class. Having a well-deserved reputation for being both the toughest and longest off-road race in North America, the miles of whoops, rocks, ruts and silt made for a case of survival of the fittest among the 30 UTVs to start the race.

As dirty as it was, DragonFire-equipped teams cleaned up, finishing 1-2 in the Class 1900 Pro Side By Side. Derek Murray piloting the #1917 Murray Motorsports Can-Am Commander drew the 18th starting place in Pro SxS, having to eat the dust of 150 competitors in other classes. However, by the end of the first 93-mile lap, Murray had moved up to third place, and after a quick driver swap, Jason Murray brought the 1000cc machine across the finish line in first.
