With the race weekend rapidly approaching, 188 race teams have already signed up to take on the final BITD Henderson 250 presented by Supercross.com. Over 200 entries are expected to enter by the time driver’s and rider’s registration ends on Friday at 5:00 p.m. Included in the race field are 19 Trick Trucks, 13 Class 1500 unlimited desert cars, 16 Class 6100 Spec Engine Trick Trucks and 28 UTVs.

Events officially get underway Thursday, December 3rd, at the Time Trials. 32 race teams hit the dirt at this unique qualifying session held for the combined Trick Truck and Class 1500 vehicles as they shoot it out to grab the coveted “Team Ford Pole Award” and $1,000 cash that goes along with it.

Festivities continue on Friday, December 4th, from 9:30 AM until 5:30 PM as the streets of downtown Henderson are taken over for contingency and technical inspection. This is a great opportunity for race fans to soak up the spectacle of the parading race vehicles along with their drivers and crews. It’s also an incredible experience for race enthusiasts as they have the chance to check out all of the awesome products and accessories on display as they weave their way down the street lined with block-after-block of race related manufacturers and street vendors. It will be nonstop action all day long and into the evening. Great fun for the entire family!
