Off Road Innovations and Hammerking Productions Announce the 2010 Best Prepared Rig Contest

at the Ultra4 Stampede in Reno, NV, Sept. 7-12, 2010.

Five (5) 4x4 clubs will get to compete for a chance to be the ONE selected club to get a full, PRIVATE weekend of awesome rock-crawling, camping, and trail-riding fun for the whole club, right outside Reno, NV. On Friday night of the Ultra4 Stampede, the five finalist clubs will present their BEST PREPARED/SETUP rig to the crowd of cheering fans for a most unusual contest of preparation and preparedness!

“This is not a rock crawl or obstacle course,” says Don Gilman of Off Road Innovations, the premier sponsor of the contest, “but rather a challenge to see how well setup and prepared your BEST rig is in your club.” Each club that fills out an application (TBA) will get a shot at being one of the 5 finalists who compete LIVE in front of the Ultra4 audience, with noted landuse activist and off-roader, Del Albright as the emcee and a panel of judges.

The drawing for the five finalists clubs will be held in Reno on Wednesday August 11th at the premier of the “King of the Hammers - Anarchy” film at the Grand Sierra Resort.

The contest will be live from 7pm to 8pm on Friday night, September 10th at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino. Each rig/car/4x4 entered can have up to but not more than 4 seats and 4 passengers. Only one rig per club may be entered. All passengers may help with the contest. Without unveiling the fun of this contest, just realize that it is about preparation, setup, inventory, and readiness for about any situation on the trail or in rock crawling.

The contest is FREE to enter and applications are due by 5pm August 10th. Fill out your form at the Off Road Innovations store in Reno, NV or online at http://www.orireno.com/ and click on the Ultra4 logo to download the form.

Reno Rocks After Party and Vegas to Reno Race, Sands Regency

Stac and I are recovering from the Reno Rocks After Party last night (smile). It was a blast. The Sands Regency put on the dog for the staff, helpers and Reno4x4.com folks around the pool at the Sands, then we moved into the Third Street Bar. Whew...

Back in June, Reno Rocks 4x4 had some serious W.E. Rock action, not to mention a great vendor show and a few parties.
Put it on your calendar for next year, Father's Day weekend in June, right here at the Sands Regency in Reno.



The Sands has a lot of golf action as well as plenty of casino stuff for everyone. It's also pet friendly which is cool to find when you travel with your little friends.

Today we will hopefully see the finish line of the Vegas to Reno Off Road Race, with another party tonight, and the awards ceremony back at the Sands around the pool Sunday at 10am.

Reno, NV, Cameras and Photography

While at Reno Rocks 4x4 this past weekend, I had minor camera issues, needed some photo supplies (and had cameras that needed serious cleaning, right now). I found a couple places worth putting in your notebook of places to get good service.
For supplies and cameras, try Gordon's Photo Service (in Reno and Carson City):

If you need camera cleaning and service, Steve Sweringen owns and operates the Camera Clinic and he took care of three of my units, on the spot, with excellent service (and some helpful advice as well):

When I find businesses that do what they say they do, take care of customers and offer a fair price, I like to make mention of them in order to help you make better choices on where you spend your money.

Reno Rocks 4x4 Day 2

Wow, this place is amazing. There is a lot going on, the drivers are wild in the WE ROCK course, and the fun is non-stop. The folks at the Sands Regency are going out of their way to make this historic event a real breath-taking, laugh out loud, fun time. Not to mention the great security they are providing and the helpful staff.

WE ROCK live radio is here doing the broadcast thing. TV cameras are all over the course, and the drivers are raving about how fun this rock course is. Get here if you can. The fun is just starting.
