This race will have two separate groups, racing 10 laps over the 16 mile course, illuminated only by their on-board vehicle lighting. Good luck and do the right thing. Will try and catch up with you at scrutiny. On his way to the completion of his first lap, a bad bump caught Rob off guard and caused his truck to buck and roll.

This is a special memorial race to honor the name of Best In The Desert founder, Casey Folks. Sorry no overnight camping and no oversize vehicles allowed. With a special 16-mile racecourse set up next to the playground of the Colorado River, the race is open to the Car and Truck classes only.

2018 Mint 400

If you could only choose one desert race to take on, we have a suggestion: Go to the Mint 400, The Great American Off-Road Race. The Mint 400 is a spectacle to behold and certainly one of the crown jewels of American off-road racing. There is nothing like it, though the Ultra4 King of the Hammers is a very, very close second. A long strip of Fremont Street is closed for four days just for the contingency and tech inspection for the race. This year was both special and somber. He was always easy to approach, unafraid to answer questions and highly respected by the off-road community. It was also not that long ago that Chad Ragland, son of the famous Larry Ragland, passed away and he was also remembered during the mint 400 2019 meeting. On Thursday, the Trick Trucks, 1500 Unlimiteds and 6100 Spec Truck all had their qualifying runs in a time trial format. The mint 400 2019 would get a single car start and everyone else would have to start in pairs. Surprising the field was the YouTheory Unlimited driven by Harley Letner. Unfortunately for Rob MacCachren, that desert would bite him. On his way to the completion of his first lap, a bad bump caught Rob off guard and caused his truck to buck and roll. He and his co-driver were fine and able to get it to the pits, but there was too much damage to fix and their day was done. The same could be said for Letner, as he was able to stay ahead only until the second lap. Harley would end up 8th overall but first in class. A puncture allowed Bryce Menzies and Apdaly Lopez to pass him. However, Lopez suffered a light bar malfunction, preventing him being able to see during the closing lap while he was leading. He hit a rock which damaged the air jack system. That rock also cost them a tire and the win as he and his co-driver had to rely on a standard mint 400 2019 jack. Apdaly was the first physical finisher, but that stoppage cost him three minutes of time. Terry Householder in the Householder 6100 and Nick Mills in the Mills Motorsport 6100 rounded out the 6100 podium. Ryan Millen, the number one qualifier in 6100, failed to finish due to a mechanical failure. Those three minutes Lopez lost during the race was all Bryce Menzies, in the Red Bull Ford Raptor, needed to take the overall victory of the 50th Mint 400. The separation between himself and Lopez was just 28 seconds. If you wanted to know just how tough the Mint 400 was for these drivers, out of 180 racers, only 80 reached the finish line by midnight. Going from dusty and dry to wet and muddy would catch most everyone by surprise, no matter which class was still running. The 2018 running of this Great American Off-Road Race was a celebration of life, the open desert and the community that surrounds off-road racing.

The remaining classes start the weekend on Saturday afternoon after the motorcycles finish. Sorry no overnight camping and no oversize vehicles allowed. Harley would end up 8th overall but first in class. The Ultra4 cars ran in the second race. The format had two races, the limited cars would run in the morning, and the big boys would race in the afternoon. Stewart was scheduled to co-drive the 1973 Ensenada 300 in the Class 2 buggy with Bill Hrynko, but prior to the race, Hrynko fell off a ladder and broke his leg. The Mint 400 is the oldest, roughest, most spectacular, and prestigious off-road race in America and also part of the Red Bull Signature Series. A parade of vehicles down the Las Vegas Strip kicked off the festivities on Wednesday.
