Best in the Desert (BITD) announced that it is adding a night race for UTVs at the Method Wheels Laughlin Desert Classic by Polaris, which is scheduled for October 11-14, 2018 in Laughlin, Nevada.
The UTV Night Race is presented by Baja Designs, The Scientists of Lighting, and will kick off the Method Wheels Laughlin Desert Classic by Polaris and a weekend of racing activities. This is the first time that BITD is having a 100-percent night race, and it is fitting that one of the most recognized names in off-road lighting, Baja Designs, is presenting this historic event. Baja Designs has both universal and vehicle-specific kits for a number of makes and models, including Polaris RZR, Polaris Ranger, Can-Am Commander, Can-Am Maverick, Arctic Cat Wildcat, and Yamaha Viking.
Introduction to Baja Designs: The Scientists of Lighting
“We are very excited to be adding the UTV night race to what is already a packed weekend of racing activities at Laughlin,” commented Best in the Desert Operations Mgr. Donald Jackson. “And to have Baja Designs as the presenting sponsor is just icing on the cake. The UTV class is one of the fastest growing classes in all off-road racing and deserves to have a stand-alone event of its own.”
UTV Registration, Tech, Contingency and Drivers Meeting will take place Thursday, October 11, prior to the race. There will be two separate groups running eight laps each over a 16-mile course. The first group will consist of UTV Pro Production and Sportsman Classes, while the second crew will be the powerful UTV Turbo and Unlimited Classes.

For more than 20 years, Baja Designs has engineered revolutionary ways to stay at the forefront of motorcycle and automotive lighting. The first product developed was a Dual Sport kit that made a pure off-road motorcycle minimally street legal. This intimate knowledge of motorcycle electrical capabilities led to a natural evolution to engineer the first HID motorcycle race light. Owner/Lead engineer Alan Roach and Product Development Engineer Stephen “Tex” Mitchell were avid Baja 1000 motorcycle racers who were able to fine tune a motorcycle’s limited light optics to maximize rider comfort, speed and safety. As a result, BD lights have won every professional and amateur motorcycle and ATV Baja 1000 class for over 15 years. Revolutionizing industry leading lights is not just a job at BD, but a lifelong passion for both the owners and employees. The BD product line is dedicated to being Brighter, Bolder, and Better.
