The 2025 Parker 400 kicked off the UNLTD Off-Road Racing Series with over 300 teams battling 400 miles of Arizona desert. Diode Dynamics-sponsored driver Justin Von Metal stood out in the UTV Pro Stock class, running SS5 LED Pods on his Polaris RZR and fighting from a flat tire setback to finish 1st in class and 3rd overall for UTVs.
The Race
Justin qualified first with a time of 9:57.459 and held the lead until a flat tire dropped him to 17th. He pushed hard, reclaiming 1st place by Lap 3. At Pit 3, the team discovered the transmission had lost all its oil — from there it was about survival. Justin nursed the RZR to the finish for a solid 3rd overall and 1st in class.
The Lighting Setup
Justin ran two white SS5 pods mounted on the A-pillars and two yellow SS5 pods on the bumper — giving him the visibility needed to cut through dust and light up the trail across 400 miles of desert racing.
