Vegas to Reno: The longest point-to-point race in the U.S. For 2026 it runs Reno to Las Vegas. Plan for night driving, dust, and long chase legs on Highway 95. Details: Vegas to Reno race page.
Laughlin Desert Classic: A two-day BITD format with infield short-course sections and desert loops near Laughlin. Jeepspeed runs in the first race block each day. Details: Laughlin Desert Classic race page.
