Griffin King of the Hammers is 135 miles of brutality. A race that some call the hardest one day off-road race on the planet. A comparison that ranks it alongside the Baja 1000, and Dakar rally. This race will be the first stop in the GrandSlam series, and drivers must race in KOH to even qualify for the series. Entry into KOH is limited to 100 teams and they have spent all of 2009 just to get in.
BITD Silver State 300. 300 miles of Nevada desert, from silt beds to pine forest, this race will test a driver’s will to continue. 50% will not see the finish line of this long distance test of equipment and endurance. There is little help as chase trucks are limited to established pits only. The clock is the biggest threat as the stages are set extremely close.
Colorado Hill climb association “Lands End” hill climb. The third oldest race in the United States this is the longest all dirt hill climb rally and a favorite among the Hill climb rally crowd. An all out throttle jockey assault, this race travels up a mountain road with a sheer cliff only inches from the race course. Drivers will race the clock, but the winner will be decided by split seconds.
Rock Crawling. Yet to be determined location, this traditional Rock crawling completion will be a technical challenge that will finish of the series with a bang. Drivers and spotter will attempt seemingly impossible obstacles on a closed course. The most spectator friendly event in the series we expect this to be a huge hit.
