This weekend, Best in the Desert will be bringing an impressive new course to dedicated off-road racers in Laughlin, Nevada. Laughlin is one of the premier locations for recreation in Nevada, and the inaugural Laughlin Desert Classic will truly be a “Duel in the Desert” with a large turnout expected for this spectacular event.

The event kicks off this Wednesday with a Parade of Champions, as contestants drive their vehicles down Casino Drive in Laughlin, with a welcome party staged at the famous Golden Nugget casino. The event notes how important this parade is in order to demonstrate thanks to the Town of Laughlin for hosting this band of off-road racers.

Thursday the racing begins with Time Trials for the Trick Trucks and Class 1500, and on Friday is the Tensor Tire Family Poker Run that kicks off at 8 AM on a 17-mile loop. Saturday and Sunday are dedicated to race day, meanwhile, as well as the awards presentation for your winners.

This is the first year of the revised racing schedule for Best in Desert, featuring nine races instead of the standard six race series that it had been known for. The expansion comes due to increased entries and interest as off-road racing regains the public’s interest. The Laughlin Desert Classic sits right in the middle of this new schedule, with the General Tire “Vegas to Reno” The Long Way!!! Race up in two weeks, followed by the Bluewater Desert Challenge in October and the Pahrump Nugget 250 at the beginning of December.
