6/10/2008 - Extreme Motorsports Announces 2nd Electric Sandcar With Special Feature

Extreme Motorsports of California, Inc. is pleased to announce it has completed the engineering & manufacturing plans for its SECOND all-electric zero emissions sandcar.

On April 24th of this year, the company announced the release of the industry's first all-electric sandcar. The response was phenomenal. The public realizes the benefits of an all-electric zero emissions vehicle, especially with rising gas prices now averaging over $4.00 per gallon in the US. Utilizing the latest in motor & controller technology, again, from Azure Dynamics, a leader in providing solutions for the electric car industry along with advanced Lithium Ion battery technology from AEVehicles, we are happy to announce the second all-electric sandcar model available from Xtreme Motorsports.
This electric technology is now offered in the Sportster model as announced on April 24th, and is available for immediate order. There is also more great news as well. Unlike the Dune Racer model, there is no wait time for the Sportster electric sandcar model. Orders can be placed immediately. Next, at less than half the cost of the Dune Racer, this model will make zero emissions sandcars available to those who have less extravagant budgets. This model still eliminates the transaxle typically common in sandcars and replaces it with a gearbox provided by Azure Dynamics. Although the system is less powerful than the Dune Racer system, it still equals the power of the gas engine that comes standard in the Sportster so there is no loss in performance. Range is about 100 miles + and can be recharged for approximately $3 (on house electricity) because it still utilizes the AEV Lithium Ion Batteries. Now, the best news so far. You're not restricted to off road use only; this vehicle is available with a street legal package! The Sportster can be driven as a daily driver for work or play! Now that's advancement!
A street legal package is under development for the Dune Racer model as well. This will be available in December 2008 and can be implemented in all the 2009 orders.

SUPERCHARGED!

It's full speed ahead as owner signs multimillion-dollar deal

BY DREW PHILP, Californian staff writer
e-mail: dphilp@bakersfield.com  

Remember those old dune buggies with the four-cylinder VW engines that gave motorsports lovers hours of family fun? They've been updated, souped up and supercharged, and now law enforcement agencies are using them to keep some of America's most rugged terrain safe.

Alan McCaa (pronounced like McKay) owner of Extreme Motorsports of California, located here in Bakersfield, is making these "SandCars," and business is growing exponentially. On Thursday McCaa signed a $39 million deal with Made in USA Industries to make 400 law enforcement editions of his SandCars.

Made in USA Industries, based in Florida, said in a news release that it has chosen to work with Extreme Motorsports because it manufactures "the most rugged and technologically advanced SandCars in the industry."  McCaa has also expanded the business by acquiring a financing company, moving to a larger production facility and looking to the 2008 Olympic Games in China as a venue for international exposure.  McCaa says that anti-terrorist and border patrol agencies are looking at his cars to take some of the workload wear and tear off their on-road police vehicles.  "We can equip these cars with almost anything," he said. That includes heavy duty laptops, infrared cameras and armor plating.

As well as selling to American markets, McCaa will be taking a tour of the Middle East this month to sell potentially millions of dollars worth of SandCars to governments looking for feasible ways to protect oil fields. McCaa says Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in the vehicles, and he is "85 percent confident" that a foreign deal will come through.  "There has been a need for these cars in the military for a long time," said Marty Fiolka editorial director of Off-Road Business magazine. "A lot of technology used in the Hummers was started in off-road vehicles." He added that the SandCar market "has been good for a long time and there is a very steady growth."  The $39 million contract was just what McCaa was hoping for, and if he can close even one deal with a company in the Middle East, revenue will be boosted by as much as $50 million dollars.

The SandCars that McCaa fabricates are what would be referred to as "dune buggies" 30 years ago. But McCaa's cars no longer house wimpy four-cylinder engines. The cars can hold up to eight-cylinder Corvette engines, and at 450 horsepower can travel upwards of 110 mph. 

Founded in 1983, Extreme Motorsports began building SandCars for personal clients. Two years ago McCaa restructured the business, and in 2006 Extreme Motorsports became the world's only publicly traded SandCar company.  Although McCaa has diversified his business and is looking for larger markets, he still builds SandCars for private clients.  "Too fast," is how 61-year-old Jerry Frith describes his $80,000 vehicle purchased from Extreme Motorsports. The cars can travel 100 mph.  "It does amaze you with the economy (falling) that people are spending money on these cars," he said.  McCaa attributes the interest in SandCars, and the early expansion of his business, to people wanting to spend more time with their families.  "People are spending more money on all recreation activities," he said. "Our typical demographic is a family who has saved for months to buy one of these things."

The company's SandCars are expensive, ranging from a base model starting at about $15,000 to upwards of $100,000 for custom rides. With the recent acquisition of Southern Offroad Vehicle Services, a financing company, buyers now can receive in-house financing for a SandCar, or lease one like a traditional automobile.  McCaa will continue selling SandCars to private clients, but "government and law enforcement will end up being the bread and butter of our company," he said. He said he believes governments and law enforcement agencies are taking notice of SandCars as a quick way to burst in and out of remote sites.

"We would like to have one, and it probably would be useful," said Tyson Davis, sergeant in charge of the Kern County sheriff's off-highway vehicle division, "but the cost is overwhelming." The department uses off-road motorcycles and quads to patrol Kern County's wilderness areas.  If necessary to accommodate the new production demands, McCaa will increase the number of employees in his Bakersfield shop to about 20 from seven, and consider automating his process to improve production time. Plans for an even bigger production facility are in the works.

As for his SandCars appearing at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, McCaa remains confident.  "I think we have a 60-40 chance" of receiving a contract, he said.  The SandCars potentially would be featured as an on-site attraction for visitors to the Olympic Games. McCaa sent a representative to China within the last month to place a bid with the Beijing SandCar Association.  "The exposure is nice not only for us," McCaa said, "but for Bakersfield in general. We're talking worldwide recognition."

• 5/1/2008 - Extreme Motorsports of California, Inc. the worlds only publicly traded sandcar manufacturer is pleased to announce it has completed the engineering & manufacturing plans for the industry’s first completely electric sandcar. 
  With the ever rising concerns by California Air Resource Board (CARB) of new emissions laws within the sandcar industry and the growing concern about future Climate Change, Xtreme Motorsports has completed the engineering and production plans for the first “Zero Emissions Sandcar” (ZES). Utilizing the latest in motor & controller technology along with advanced Lithium Ion battery technology, these new Sandcars are the most exciting line of vehicles for the consumer we have put out to date. The ZES technology is offered in both the Sportster and Dune Racer models and is available for immediate reservation. 
  The advantage of electric motor technology is that the torque is instant from one RPM forward vs. a gas engine that must build up to its torque curve. The Dune Racer shows performance of 0 to 70 miles per hour in about 5 seconds with a top speed of 105 MPH and instant torque of 665 Ft. Pounds, this out-performing a typically Twin Turbo LS1 Engine. It also has a range of up to 200 miles on one charge and can be charged off a standard generator seen on many Toy Haulers today. Additionally the Dune Racer has eliminated the need for a transaxle or transmission through advanced gearing technology. Email for your reservation request today!

• New Items Scheduled for Engineering:
  Rear Disk Brake Assembly with Vented Rotors and 4 Piston Calipers
  Front Disk Brake Assembly with Vented Rotors and 4 Piston Calipers
  Power Rack & Pinion

• Xtreme Motorsports sets out to design new plunging axles for off road recreational and race cars. Stay tuned for more information.

• Did you know that Xtreme Motorsports ONLY sells EPA compliant recreational vehicles? Starting 2008 The EPA (Federal) and CARB (California) mandated that only emissions compliant engines be installed in recreational Sandcars. If your in the market for a new car, ask the right questions. #1, will my car meet federal and California emissions standards? You can't get a new vehicles registered in California, if it don't meet these standards. These new laws cut the emissions by over 50% and allows us to enjoy off-roading and be environmentally friendly also.
