Introduction

At ARD Racing we have over 25 years history in racing.  Cars, boats, bikes or SXS, we just love racing, and it shows in everything we do.  We've built spec Miata's, Lotus, Lamborghini, Porsche GT3, Ferrari 458's and more SXS's than you can count.  Our passion and attention to detail always shows in our winning philosophy.  Today, we build, race, support and maintain some of the best prepared SXS racecars in the country.  

Growing

ARD Racing is a Texas-based performance and fabrication shop located in Burleson, TX, with deep roots in motorsports. We specialize in high-performance Side-by-Side (SxS) builds, tuning, and race prep—but our story began long before we hit the dirt.

Founded in 2010 as Avid Motorsports in Pompano Beach, Florida, we got our start building and tuning street and track cars for performance enthusiasts. Our passion for precision, horsepower, and results drove us to grow—and eventually shift gears into the off-road world.

Rebranded as ARD Racing, we brought our automotive experience to the growing SxS scene. Today, we design, build, and race some of the most capable and aggressive UTVs in the industry. Whether it’s weekend warriors or full-time racers, we help riders unlock the full potential of their machines.

At ARD Racing, our mission is simple:

Build it right. Build it fast. Build it to win.

We combine motorsports-level engineering with real-world off-road experience to deliver machines that perform under pressure—on the trail, in the desert, and on the podium.
