Offroad Racing

Best in the Desert Terribles 250 at Primm 2008

The Terrible's 250 is special to us at Prerunner Maniac as this was the first race we covered for you. Last year the race was in Pahrump Nevada, and since then the Herbst family purchased Primm and because of their support of desert racing the race is now the Terrible's 250 at Primm.

SNORE Mint 400 2008 Coverage

After 20 years the Mint 400 was finally resurrected. The Mint 400 is actually the first desert race I saw as a kid in 1981. Even though I was so young it definitely had an impact in my life.

SNORE Battle at Primm 2008

We were very excited to cover the Battle at Primm since we got the opportunity to prerun the course in our Project Desert RZR. Because of scheduling issues we were only able to shoot Saturday, the first day of racing, but we got some great shots of the race. Be sure to check out the Carnage that happened to one racer in our Off-road Racing Carnage Column.

Best in the Desert Parker 425 2008

February 2nd marked the day of the start of the Best in the Desert Racing series with the Parker 425 in Parker Arizona, sponsored by the Blue Water Resort & Casino. This was our first time out to Parker and I have to say it is one of the best desert races I have witnessed. There are tons of spectator areas around the course, and there were a few extra miles added to the “Python” this year.

CORR Racing is changing the way off-road racing can be viewed. With conventional desert racing spectators have to deal with the BLM telling them where they can watch the race, and because of the track sizes it can take a while to see the next car or truck go by.

CORR Racing is definitely a spectator sport. Image a giant motocross track with high horsepower trucks and biggies racing on it. It sure makes for an exciting day of off-road racing.

Here are some highlights of the race in Primm at the season’s last race at the Las Vegas International Off Road Raceway.

December 1 st marked the start of the last race of the season for the Best in the Desert Racing Association, and there were perfect conditions for racing.

Best in the Desert Las Vegas 300 2007

This years Best in the Desert Las Vegas 300 held in Jean NV was a tough race for the Trick Truck Class with the first finisher taking 5th place. For this race it was the Class 1 - Unlimited Cars that took center stage.

SNORE South Pointe 250 2007

BJ Richardson Overall Winner With His Class 1 Buggy

The SNORE South Pointe 250 was situated off of Pabco Road near APEX. We situated ourselves about 1/8 mile from the starting line just after a nice “S” curve in the track. It turned out to be a great spot as the racers went by flinging rocks and dirt as they passed. It was a recipe for some great shots of the race.

Titled the “Longest Offroad Race in America” the Best in the Desert’s Vegas to Reno Race is not only the longest, but also one of the toughest. There were 149 car/truck entries, and 11 UTV entries, only 74 racers finished in the car and truck classes, and 1 UTV entry. That means well over half of the car and truck entries never made it to Reno.
