Schedule finalized for Henderson’s Terrible 300 Desert Race
Events to be held Dec. 2-5; Race to be held on Saturday, Dec. 4

HENDERSON, NV -- The schedule of times and events has been finalized for Henderson’s Terrible 300 Desert Race festivities. Events will take place Dec. 2-5, with the race itself taking place on Saturday, Dec. 4. All events are free for spectators.

Brochures and additional information are available for all participants and spectators by contacting the Henderson Convention and Visitors Bureau at (877) 775-5252 or (702) 267-2171.

Best in the Desert Racing Association will both produce and sanction the event, which features cars, trucks, buggies, motorcycles and ATV’s. This year marks the third year of the Henderson’s Terrible race, however, this will be the first year the race is in December – to avoid the heat of the Southern Nevada summer. The racecourse has also been extended from 250 miles to 300 miles in length.

“Being able to move the race to the first weekend in December is obviously a major benefit to both participants and spectators,” said Bud Pico, manager of tourism and sales for the Henderson Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We’ve enjoyed two great races in previous years. However, we believe this year’s Henderson’s Terrible 300 Desert Race is going to be the best yet.”

The race, which is sponsored by the Henderson Convention and Visitors Bureau, Herbst Gaming and the city of Boulder City, will take place in the Eldorado Valley located between Henderson and Boulder City. It will be made up of two courses – one for motorcycles and ATV’s and one for cars and trucks – running in a figure-eight style. The start-finish line will be positioned off of Nevada Highway 95, near the Railroad Pass exit, so spectators will be able to view both courses at the same time.

This year’s Henderson’s Terrible 300 will be the sixth and deciding race of the Best in the Desert Racing Association’s six-race series in the southwest.

The schedule of events includes:
Thursday – Time trials (2-6 p.m.)
