If you’ve got an off-road vehicle or rally car and thirst for adventure, you want to head to Baja California, Mexico and the legendary Mike’s Sky Rancho for the inaugural Mike’s Peak Hill Climb Challenge happening October 13-16, 2016.

This 4-day event is open to all off-road vehicles, whether they are the two, three, or four-wheeled varieties and will offer classes that include SST/short course trucks, rock crawlers, desert trucks, buggies, UTV’s motorcycles, quads, Ultra 4’s and rally cars as well as others.

This event is in honor of 50 years of Baja Racing on the road to Mike’s and is sponsored by SST and the Ranch.

The route is 31km with an approximately 4,000-foot ascent that winds through cattle guards and water crossings. The course is littered with off-camber corners, severe washouts, and shear drops into canyons — drivers will have to stay on their toes.

Robby Gordon, SST series founder says, “I can’t wait to see how the SSTs stack up against other vehicles that attempt to make this climb. It’s a 100% dirt track, with more turns than Pike’s Peak before you reach a first of its kind water crossing

He goes on to say, “We wanted to give the racers and fans something longer, something more challenging on man and machine, so we’re bringing back the dirt roads, getting rid of the guard rails, and inviting everyone with a race car and a dream.”

Fans and drivers alike will definitely be fans of this event that will offer on-site camping, multiple road access to viewing points and close proximity to San Felipe Valley, Trinidad and Ensenada which is only 52 miles away, going East on Hwy 3. There will also be a Mexican Fiesta each night under the stars, for all the drivers and guests to look forward to after each day of exciting races.

The camping and rooms are part of the entry fee and are open to all competitors on a first come, first serviced basis.

Each team of driver and their personal  mechanics will be assigned specific SST mechanics to help assist in tuning and making adjustments where needed to the 600 horsepower trucks, which are all prepared in the same, identical way.

They are delivered to the drivers in ready-to-race condition so no team has an advantage over another except for the skill and experience of the driver.

This unique race feature sets the SST apart from other series because race winners are decided on driver skill rather than being dictated by team engineering and budgets.

If you’re ready to do something new and exciting, grab your off-road vehicle and head over to Baja California, Mexico in October for a race that is sure to please.

If being a fan is more your style, you’ll be in for an event that you will not stop talking about for a long time.
