UTVUnderground.com Industry News Blog: Thank You AGM, Fast-Aid, RDC, and JD Films!

On behalf of UTVUnderground and TKUnderground I want to personally thank all of our friends at All German Motorsports, Fast-Aid.org, Race-Dezert.com, and JD Films for all of their awesome efforts into making last Sundays Dezert People 8 movie premier one of the best events I have ever attended. UTVUnderground was proud to help put this event together and we look forward to participating again next year!!

The event was scheduled long before the accident that occurred at the MDR California 200, the event was already supposed to be a fundraiser for Fast-Aid, but once the accident occurred the event took on a whole other meaning. The off road community showed up in full force, packing the K1 Speed parking lot, donating money and just enjoying the atmosphere. Race vehicles from Trophy Trucks, Class 1, and every other form of off road were on display for everyone to see. UTVUnderground brought out the FatRod and served up Ice Cold Monster Energy to the crowd. Team Driver Mike Lasher brought out his Monster Energy Kawasaki Teryx for everyone to enjoy and brought his boy Pellagrino out who brought along his GenRight KOH Rock Buggy.

All German Motorsports organized the event for the 2nd year. Baja Pits provided endless tacos, UTVUnderground sponsor 4130 Clothing supplied good tunes along with California 200 memorial shirts that have so far raised well over $5000.00 for the California 200 memorial fund. K1 Speed donated portions of all their profits from Sunday to Fast-Aid as well. Another UTVUnderground sponsor and friend Randy Weisser of Off Road Warehouse not only has donated his time and facilities for fund raising efforts in light of the Cal 200 accident but also matched all of the money donated on Sunday as well. ORW has gone above and beyond with showing their support for the race truck driver Brett Sloppy and all that lost their lives that dark day.

I was able to participate in 2 of the fun races that day, the Media Goon race and the FatKid race. Both of which were a total blast!!! We had a special guest in the FatKid race, driver Brett Sloppy who was the unfortunate racer to crash into the people at the Cal 200 came out and joined in the festivities doing his part to help raise some money as well. Brett feels terrible about what happened but he was showered with love and confidence in that the off road community stands by him 110%.

TKUnderground organized a Trophy Kart kids race in which the winner was able to compete in the evenings Celebrity Race! TKUnderground driver Danny Molinda schooled the competition including UTVUndergrounds own Doug Mittag and RJ Anderson.

In all the day was a huge success for our friends at Fast-Aid.org and for the families affected by the tragedy at the Cal 200. The off road community has once again come together to show just how much support we have for one another. The day ended with the premier of the hottest off road video to come to DVD in 2010, Dezert People 8. Made by our friend Curtis Guise the Dezert people series of movies truly is the best off road series of films ever created. You have to check out DP8, get your copy today!!
