It’s very exciting to look forward to our August event, as it brings back some great memories of my dad, Casey Folks, founder of Best In The Desert. The 2022 Method Wheels “Casey Folks”Vegas to Reno event is fast approaching, coming up August 10-13. I remember when my dad was creating his races back 23 years ago, he was talking about adding cars and trucks to his already successful motorcycle race. Knowing our father like we did, my brother Daryl and I asked him, “Why would you want to add even more logistics to an already tough event?” His response was typical of his enthusiasm for the sport. He said he wanted more people who were as excited and passionate about the sport as he was to have the opportunity to be able to participate in an event of this magnitude. He was confi dent he had the right people, the right connections and the right stamina to make this adrenaline-fueled event work for every class of off -road racer. He was right, as every Vegas to Reno race held over the last couple decades has proven to be the epitome of what he envisioned – a kick-ass race that is on the punch-list of racers from all over the world. More great news about Best In The Desert’s plans for V2R include the Time Trials event. Best In The Desert will feature an all new Time

Trials Track located in Primm, Nevada, and will feature a full Live

Stream production of the event. For the fi rst time in BITD history, qualifying racers will run two racers at a time while still posting qualifying times. Another fi rst, this year’s race will have a live update show that will stream on the BITD Facebook page for up-to-the-hour updates. Finally, this year’s race will feature two television shows that will air on CBS Sports Network. The shows will air approximately two and three weeks after the event conclusion, and then the shows will re-air back-to-back multiple times. Stay tuned to our Social Media for more details.
