Saturday, 30 April 2022Alamo, NV
The Yokohama Tire Jeepspeed series, Presented by KMC Wheels, headed to round two at the Best in the Desert, Silver State 300 race. The Silver State 300 has an interesting format. The course sits in a remote corner of Nevada that probably has more cows than people. It’s that remoteness, and the incredible terrain that makes it so different from other desert races. Depending on desert conditions, it may be the only time all year that racers have to contend with water crossings. It also has unique mountain roads that are more like trails; tight, twisty, and technical. When the racers are not crashing through streams or dodging trees in the mountains, they are flying at top speed through huge, open valleys interrupted with huge pocke

Sunday, 23 January 2022Parker ,AZ
The 2022 Yokohama Jeepspeed series presented by KMC Wheels returned to Parker, Arizona for the traditional start of the racing season. Parker has typically been the location of the season opener, but this year’s event had a new twist. They would run the course backwards; something that has not been done for a very long time. Usually this means that the course will be rougher.

It makes for a long, pounding race for the drivers, and their trucks. Mysteriously, it was found out to be the opposite. The course was surprisingly fast, and smooth; as smooth as a desert race cour

Thursday, 04 November 2021California City, CA
The final race of the 2021 Yokohama Tire Jeepspeed Race Series Presented by KMC Wheels was held in Cal City, CA, a unique place that is known for being the city that never quite made it. Originally designed to be a rival to Los Angeles, it spans the third-largest land area of any city in the state of California, but has roughly 14,000 inhabitants. It became a symbol of big dreams, and land speculation. The desert landscape in Cal City has plenty of terrain for desert racing, and the two-day Best In The Desert event brought an end to the speculation surrounding who would win the championships in each of the Jeepspeed categories.
The Jeepspeed series has classes for different levels of modifications. The Jeepspeed Challen
