Rock Crawling & ULTRA4/King of the Hammers
Rock Crawling is an extreme form of Off Road driving using vehicles anywhere from stock to highly modified to overcome obstacles. Rock crawling competitions range from local events to national series. These consist 100-200 yard long courses with obstacles set up with gates, similar to a slalom ski race.
In Rock Crawling, drivers drive highly modified four-wheel-drive vehicles such as trucks, Jeeps, and "buggies" over very harsh terrain. Driving locations include boulders, mountain foothills, rock piles, mountain trails, etc.
Rock Crawling is about very slow-speeds, careful, precise driving, and high torque generated through large gear reductions in the vehicles drivetrain.
Rock Crawlers often drive up, down and across obstacles that would appear impassable.
Fans of Off-road Racing and Rock Crawling are some of the most passionate around. Spectators often arrive from around the country in their RVs and campers, turning the event grounds into a festival devoted to good food, good friends, and great racing and crawling.
Attend a race or event and you’ll quickly find out why that is – 900-hp Pro 4×4 trucks and modified rock crawlers put on a show like no other. We love off-road racing as much as the next person, which is why we sponsor the top off-road racing series and rock crawling events in the nation.
The 200-plus-mile course combines off-road racing and rock crawling throughout the Means Dry Lake in Johnson Valley, California.
It features five races held throughout the week, including the King of The Motos, the ULTRA4 vs. Rock Bouncer shootout, the KOH UTV race, the Smittybilt Every Man Challenge and the King of The Hammers.
Monster Truck Events
Monster Trucks used to be side acts at popular motocross events and mud bogs, but today they are usually the main attraction with Motocross, mud bogging, ATV's or stunt shows, demolition derbies and a host of other supporting/complementary shows.
Monster Truck Shows typically have two main events, a race and a freestyle competition.
Races are conducted as a single elimination tournament on two short, symmetrical dirt tracks that usually include a hairpin turn and a jump over a row of cars. Each round, two trucks race to the finish line on the separate tracks, with the winner advancing to the next bracket.
In freestyle events, each driver puts on a performance consisting of stunts such as jumping over obstacles, backflips, wheelies, and doughnuts. A panel of judges assign points to each performance and the driver with the most points is declared the winner.
As of 2017 the freestyle event has become the last event of competition. Drivers are free to select their own course around the track and its obstacles. Drivers will often perform doughnuts, wheel stands, large aerial jumps and even backflips during this segment.
Monster Jam is a live motorsport event tour and television show operated by Feld Entertainment. The series is sanctioned under the umbrella of the United States Hot Rod Association (USHRA) and takes place primarily in the United States. The sport has been held every year since 1992.

Monster Jam World Finals are held at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, it is the culmination of the Monster Jam season with only the top competitors competing. It is often referred to as the "superbowl of monster trucks" and features drivers competing for the Racing and Freestyle Championship.
