LEGENDARY RACE. MILES OF MEMORIES.

After having to alter the race course multiple times, and adding a transfer to avoid monster water traps created by monsoon rains not seen in Nevada for 30 years, the legendary Method Race Wheels Casey Folks Vegas to Reno race was a success.

More than 300 racers launched from the start line early Friday morning. Positive comments from the finish line had racers saying the 2022 V2R was one of the most challenging ever run.

Vegas to Reno featured all the desert has to offer – slippery mud, dust-like silt, giant rocks, deep streams, and some very, very fast sections.
