The 2019 Mint 400 was a hugely successful race for Evolution Powersports and its tuned vehicles. EVP tuned Can-Am X3’s landed a 1st place WIN in the Unlimited UTV class and a 3rd place finish in Pro Turbo UTV class. Additionally, we had numerous vehicles placing in the top 10 positions.. The Mint 400, AKA “The Greatest American Off-Road Race” has been a pillar of American off-road racing for over 50. The Mint 400 is an epic four hundred mile battle of the top off-road racers in different classes of motorcycle, UTV’s, buggy and truck classes. This event kicks off in downtown Las Vegas with 2 days of tech and contingency where the general public gets to be up-close and personal with the racers, their vehicles as well as many big companies that help support the off-road industry.
Evolution Powersports is proud to sponsor many racers and teams that compete in the BITD racing series. The Mint 400 tech and contingency is a great way for us to meet one on one with our racers and develop some final strategies / perform final tuning adjustments to the racecars before the race. This year at in the Mint 400 we are proud to work with over 20 different race teams in the different UTV classes. This is how we demonstrate our extensive R&D process and “Race Proven” products and services.
