This weekend, the Outlaw Desert Racing series put on the USA vs. Mexico 150 race on the western edge of Rio Rancho, NM. Racers from all over the Southwest and Mexico once again converged on our little part of the world to do battle in the desert.
Friday night, 4WheelParts hosted the tech inspection and off-road show at their store on Menaul in Albuquerque. Saturday brought a race course pre run for the ATV/UTV gang in the am, with their race shortly after. In the afternoon, the buggies, trucks, and everything in between did the same.
As always, Drew and the gang from the New Mexico Off Road League out on another great event with a great turnout, proving once again that a few people interested in racing in across the desert can have a blast! Check out the video links below for some incredible footage.
See you on the trail.
