Mar 8, 2016   //   by admin   //   Company News  //  No Comments

The festivities kick off on Wednesday at 12:45 p.m. with the 4 Wheel Parts Vehicle Parade, as many of the race entrants including Adler’s Ultra4, will bring the thunder of over 75,000 horsepower down the famed Las Vegas Strip to Fremont Street. The green flag drops on the race itself on March 12 and features a field of over 350 of desert racing’s most prominent competitors.

The Mint 400 has built a reputation for attracting thousands of enthusiasts to Las Vegas to join the hundreds of race participants, creating what has become the greatest spectacle in American off-road racing. For the drivers and teams, the weeklong event culminates in a desert battle where the attrition rate makes merely finishing the first step on the way to capturing one of the many coveted class victories.

For Greg Adler, an experienced desert and short course competitor who raced in the Mint early in his off-road career, this Mint 400 represents his return to the desert as he brings his four-wheel drive Ultra4, purpose-built machine, normally reserved for King of the Hammers duty, to the open desert environment.

“We are proud to be a part of The Mint 400 and its tradition for being a very special event for racers and fans alike,” said Adler. “Beyond our support of the weeklong activities, we are looking forward to seeing what we can do in our Ultra4 car. It’s a rough course and this car has been built to take on anything that’s thrown at it. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

4 Wheel Parts is returning to sponsor the Mint 400 Vehicle Parade for the fourth consecutive year. The 4 Wheel Parts Vehicle Parade down the world renowned Las Vegas Strip, will showcase some of the toughest off-road vehicles on the planet with a procession spanning 10 miles. Grand Marshal and off-road legend Rod Hall will lead the immense group of racecars past the Las Vegas crowds eager to catch a glimpse of their favorites.

Time trials will be at 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 10 and teams competing in the Mint 400’s Pit Crew Challenge sponsored by Method Race Wheels will have a chance to qualify and contend in the finals on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, the Limited Race starts at 6 a.m. with the Unlimited class racing at 12:30 p.m. The Awards Brunch at the Golden Nugget Hotel is slated to happen at 11 a.m. Sunday.

About the Mint 400
The Mint 400 began in 1967 and has established itself as a classic 400-mile battle between the world’s premier off-road racers. In 1988, after the Mint Hotel was sold, the race took a 20-year sabbatical until 2008 when it was restarted. Actor/director Steve McQueen, astronaut Gordon Cooper and power boat champion Bill Muncey number among the luminaries who have competed in past races.

For Immediate Release

Compton, California (January 27, 2015) – An agreement has been finalized between Transamerican Auto Parts (TAP) and Hammerking Productions that names TAP subsidiary, 4 Wheel Parts, the global leader in truck and Jeep aftermarket and performance products and installation, as presenting sponsor of the 2015 King of the Hammers (KOH) event. The alliance enhances Transmerican’s existing support of the weeklong event which includes title sponsorship of the Every Man Challenge race by Smittybilt, a division of the Transamerican Manufacturing Group.

This year’s 215-mile course spans through Johnson Valley, California, blending technical rock climbing with high-speed desert racing. King of the Hammers is renowned as the most grueling one-day, off-road race in America.

Greg Adler, TAP President and CEO, and competitor in the elite Ultra4 division, recognizes the partnership as a perfect fit for the 4 Wheel Parts brand. “From wheels and tires to suspension components, King of the Hammers provides us with the ultimate proving ground to test the products we sell and install at our stores,” said Adler. “While we’re also out there competing, this arena is the perfect opportunity for us to showcase our brands while interacting with the true off-road enthusiasts out on the rocks and in the desert. We’re proud to elevate our support of the event as it has grown into such a significant race on the calendar.”

Helmed by Hammerking Productions President Dave Cole, the King of the Hammers has grown from a small gathering of competitors into a nationally-acclaimed occasion attracting immense crowds flocking to the California desert to watch participants from across the globe scale creatively named obstacles and race purpose-built vehicles across the open terrain.

“When we started this, we had no idea it would grow to this size. It’s humbling,” said Cole.  We’ve been very fortunate to have people like Greg Adler and 4 Wheel Parts to build this event alongside us over time. In the beginning Greg and I would talk about the event and he’d give me his insights and now, they are a fantastic partner of ours. We wouldn’t be where we are without amazing sponsors and great racers who are bringing in the crowds. Together we are growing King of the Hammers and Ultra4 Racing.”

An estimated 60,000 people descended on the Means Dry Lake Bed in Johnson Valley in 2014 for the King of the Hammers. Close to 400,000 viewers took in the off-road action courtesy of live internet broadcast, establishing it as the largest watched off-road racing event in the country.

“There is nothing like it in all of off-road,” concluded Adler.
