Updated September 17, 2026

Best in the Desert’s Laughlin Desert Classic is filling up fast. The BITD entry list stamped this morning (Sept. 17) shows 106 total entries and 169 unique entrants — a clear jump from the August count that sat in the sixties.

The four-wheel and UTV side is already thick: Unlimited Truck SPEC leads with 18, UTV Pro has 16, and the Unlimited truck family sits at 27 when you stack SPEC with the 2WD and 4WD rows. Qualifying is Thursday, Oct. 15 — UTV Pro and Class 10 at noon, Unlimited Truck SPEC at 1:30, then the Unlimited groups at 3:00. Adult heats run Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17–18, with UTV Pro / Class 10 and Unlimited Truck SPEC among the headline windows.

BITD’s American Off-Road Racing Championship season closes at Laughlin. Official entry list and schedule from Best in the Desert.
