Cripple Creek, CO - This is at the Teller County Fair, an event they call Tough Truck. Basically, locals take their own vehicles and race through a dirt track on a time trial basis with jumps and bumps. I had never been to anything like this before, and it was a true definition of fun as a spectator; I'm sure it was even more fun as a driver. This was one of the many women racers during the event.
As for this vehicle, someone mounted a Ford Mustang body on a Dodge truck chassis. Why? Because America.
Took a short break filming a video for a friend's SNORE Truck Race Team to grab some stills of these desert racers.

Thought I would throw a curve ball and go monochrome. The "car" was mostly white anyway, besides the image looked better this way than in color. I did put a lot of time in processing this image, knowing that it is distend to be printed/framed & hung with some similar images.
For the viewers from monochrome, B&W etc. groups, this is part of a series of images from the "King of the Hammers" annual off road race, down in Johnson Valley, Mojave Desert. The first few images, in the series, are your traditional monochrome landscapes of the area.

The Mint 400 is an annual desert off road race that was resumed in 2008 after a 20 year hiatus. The race was for both motorcycles, until 1977, and four-wheel vehicles (buggies, cars and trucks) sponsored by Del Webb's Mint Hotel and Casino. Del Webb, a well known builder and friend of Howard Hughes, was owner of the Mint Hotel in downtown Las Vegas. It became known as The Great American Desert Race.
