Sand Sports Super Show

– Costa Mesa, CA

The 2025 Sand Sports Super Show lit up the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa from September 19–21, drawing enthusiasts from across the U.S. to the premier sand and off-road expo.

With fantastic sunny skies and cool nights, attendees from far and wide showed up to check out the custom builds, product reveals, demo action, and interactive experiences.

Organizers reported over 400 exhibitors and 40,000 attendees, making this one of the largest shows in the event’s 27-year history.

Vehicle Feature Highlights

Here are five standout vehicle builds that captured our attention:

ECUMaster USA Polaris Pro-R 4
ECUMaster USA debuted its new 2025 Polaris Pro-R 4-seater sand car, equipped with an EMU Pro-8 installed quick and easy via the new WHP Pro-R Plug-and-Play adapter.

Under the tray sits a LaRue Performance turbo kit with upgraded fuel delivery from Injector Dynamics, while an ADU7 digital dash and adapter kit completes the package—providing full data visualization and engine management integration for a truly race-ready system.

SF Race Works Can-Am Maverick R
Built for hardcore desert racing, this Maverick R doesn’t compromise on performance thanks to its ECUMaster PMU24DL and ADU7.

The setup delivers bulletproof power distribution and robust data acquisition—ideal for long-distance off-road competition.

LaRue Performance Polaris Pro-R Drag Car (1000+ hp)
One of the loudest (figuratively and literally) builds at the show: a Polaris RZR powered by a heavily customized ProStar HO Fury 2.0 producing over 1000 whp.

Built for the sand drags and sporting what many called the “world’s largest blow-off valve.” Controlled by an EMU Pro-8 with a custom engine loom, this buggy and its massive paddles were guaranteed crowd-pleasers.

LaRue Performance Polaris Pro-R 2
In the Demon Powersports booth, LaRue also displayed a short-wheelbase Pro-R with a wild compound-turbo setup. The dyno sheet told the story—970 whp on tap— and its wheelie-on-demand powerband had everyone talking.

Brian Crower Polaris RZR Pro XP Build
At the Brian Crower booth, this familiar Pro XP once again drew plenty of attention.

Featuring an in-house BC-built engine stroked to 1006 cc, boosted by a Garrett turbo—and controlled by an EMU Black adapter kit from LaRue Performance—it nearly doubles the output of the factory ProStar 925.

ECUMaster USA is committed to producing plug-and-play adapters that deliver reliable, high-performance output in the most demanding off-road conditions.

The combination of plug-and-play adapters, standalone ECUs, and advanced power management/data acquisition enables builds that aren’t just wild on paper—they’re drivable, tunable, and race-proven.

If you missed it this year, mark your calendar for 2026—you’ll want to see next year’s builds (and maybe bring one of your own). ECUMaster USA will once again be pushing the envelope in side-by-side performance. See you in Costa Mesa!
