Unlimited-Off-Road-Expo-June-2014-BowerMedia-17.jpg LOUISVILLE, KY JULY 1, 2014: A week has passed since the close of the first annual Unlimited Off-Road American Show & Expo in Louisville Kentucky and the buzz about the entire show is still a loud excited engine. Vendors already want the paperwork for next year, drivers are asking how to be part of the outdoor show, and attendees want to mark their calendar. The outdoor show worked perfectly to highlight four different styles of vehicles including Rock Bouncers, Mega Trucks, Ultra4 Cars and UTV / SXS. “We are extremely happy with the way the racing went outside. Each of the drivers in attendance were invited to drive and help us produce the best show possible, and they sure provided!” said Erin Freeman, Expo Coordinator. “At the end of the day on Sunday, the back flips by Richie Keith, Brandon Dillon and CJ Bynum, were like putting on a huge grand-finale at a fireworks show. Everyone was there cheering and left excited for next year. Everything was perfect.”

The racing setup was unique to any event to date, led by Unlimited Expo Sports Director Jeremy Forsyth. All four different disciplines of racers competed against each other to determine the fastest within their group. The fastest proceeded onto the finals at4pm, which was built as a relay race. A Mega Truck started the relay, followed by an Ultra4 car, passing off to the UTV that would tag in a Rock Bouncer. The fastest relay team would win. Saturdays team won by 8 seconds and Sundays team won by a mere 1 second, a testament to the excitement!

Saturday’s winners, with a time of 239.467, consisted of Mega Truck Series John Gordon, Southern Rock Racing Series CJ Bynum, Ultra4 Racing Tony “Rosco” Rietdorf and SXS Racer Trenton Parks. Sunday’s team won by a mere one second which consisted of Mega Truck Series John Gordon, Southern Rock Racing Series Bobby Tanner, Ultra4 Racing Bill Baird and SXS Racer Brit Mansel. The results to all the qualifying and final races are listed below.

“Some of the vendors were nervous about the racing overpowering the inside vendors, but what we created and saw was the perfect flow of people coming in and out of the expo center through the outdoor vendors to the race track,” said Erin Freeman.

Some of the features of this inaugural show included:

  • Over 125 leading offroad exhibitors displayed their most recent products in booths and on amazing vehicles. Many of the exhibitors spent the first half of the year finishing new products and builds to unveil at the UOR Expo. Categories represented include Custom Fabricators, Race & Performance parts, Body Armor, Protection & Recovery products, Oil Fluids & Lubricants, Tools & Equipment, Offroad & Powersports Shops, Offroad Parks, Lifestyle Specialties and Institution & Services.
