  • Dirt Riot Muddy Southeast Race at The Great American Park

    Class Winners: Pro 4400 – Jason Carner ;  Mod Trail – Todd Klueger ; Stock Trail – Payton Wilson

    dirt riot auburn alabama 042PLACERVILLE, CA   FEBRUARY 28, 2013:  The storm that was supposed to clear and go around the Great American Park ended up running right through it, raining 3.5” in a 24 hour period just before race day.  Dirt Riot is a rain or shine event focusing on the endurance of 4×4 racers, so the green flag still dropped, although a bit later than originally planned.  “The course had to be changed four different times to allow for drainage, as the rivers had risen higher than some of the stakes!” explained Rich Klein, President and founder of W.E.

It is not a race to the finish line, but an endurance race, and the one who manages to make it through as many laps as possible in 3 hours, wins this new style of racing. (more…)
