Best in the Desert
American off-road racing association From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Best In The Desert Racing Association (BITD) is an American desert off-road racing association, based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. It was founded by Casey Folks in 1984,[1][2][3] and is currently owned by his sons Daryl and Bryan Folks. The BITD was originally a motorcycle-only series, until the Vegas To Reno, the longest off-road race in the United States, was introduced in 1996 with four-wheel classes.
