BDS Driver, Kevin Stearns, Wins at LSfest
Unlimited Truck Winner: Kevin Stearns Earlier this month, the Holley’s all-LS party took place in Vegas. This event was the “largest West event by far with 50% participant growth, 1,000 cars and large growth in vendor and spectator attendance” (LSfest.com). Over 17,000 enthusiasts came out to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for three days of non-stop LS action! “The Terra Crew was onsite at LS Fest West once again and put on a great show for the crowd. During Off Road Unleashed, their group of pre-runner style long travel trucks and buggies absolutely sent it off long jumps and mixed it up off-road in high-octane fashion” (LSfest.com). There are many different events and races that go on during this event, one that caught our attention was the Lucas Oil Drift Challenge. A blue mini cooper showed up and sent it, multiple times. This guy really showed us how to…
The 2019 MINT 400
The 2019 Mint 400 was another successful event filled with spectators from all over the country, parades, and plenty of racing. One of the biggest thrills of the weekend was when Justin Lofton made history with his 3rd BFGoodrich Tires Mint 400 Victory. You can find out more on this historic moment here. We were fortunate to have had a great location right on the corner of Fremont Street.

King of the Hammers 2019
The BDS team arrived in Hammertown a full week before the EMC race at King of the Hammers. A week might seem like a long time, but to prepare for this race takes months, and that last week is when the course maps are finally made public, creating a scramble to pre-run as much of the course as possible, all while tuning the truck for top performance based on the different sections of track that are being used each year. Team 4502, led by driver Kevin Sterns, had yet to finish the worlds hardest off road race, so the strategy this year was just that. Finish the damn thing! With that in mind, meticulous preparations were made to the 700+ horsepower beast throughout the week. An early morning photo shoot in the rocks showed signs of a problem in the power steering system. After 2 pump changes, 3 servo replacements…

These are some of the baddest and toughest races on the planet.
