Great American Off-Road Race | Throwback Thursday
Legendary Mint 400 Off-Road Race
The origin of the Mint 400 dates back to 1967, and the first race was in 1968. Here’s a look at some of the old footage of The Great American Off-Road Race.
The Mint 400 dates back to 1967 when Leroy Wickham and John Sexton spent a week driving two Koyote Dune Buggies from Fremont St. in Las Vegas to the Sahara Hotel in Lake Tahoe.
The following year was the first Mint 400 race, and the rest is history. The 2018 Mint 400 is one of the races in the Best In The Desert series and runs from March 7-11.
Here’s a look at some of the old footage of the iconic Mint 400.
