Image
A new desert race is coming to the 2019 King of The Hammers (KOH) Week lineup. The Toyo Tires Desert Invitational Presented by Monster Energy will feature 30 elite off-road desert racers in an invitation-only, traditional open-desert, off-road truck race in Johnson Valley, California.
The event marks the return of unlimited off-road racing to the birthplace of the sport, Southern California, and is also the first time that four wheel-drive will not be required of trucks to compete during KOH Week. The invited teams will vie for a $125,000 prize purse—said to be the richest off-road race in the history of the sport.
Drivers will qualify and race on the same day on Thursday, February 7, 2019.
The winner will take home $100,000, second place will earn $15,000, and third place will grab $10,000. The driver with the fastest lap of the day earns an additional $3,750. With increases in prize money to the Ultra4 class to match, the payout for KOH week exceeds $300,000.
There will be a “Last Chance Qualifying” opportunity for teams that did not receive an automatic invite. Officials will announce details in the coming weeks.
Registration for KOH Week is expected to open in the fall and will be available, along with news, competitor information and updates, at ultra4racing.com.
