It’s amazing to me how one well-placed booby trap can bring millions of dollars worth of trophy trucks to a screeching halt.No matter how tough we make these vehicles they can still be stopped by mischievous spectators. BJ Baldwin was one of the many sent out into the clutches of the desert only to come out bullied and beaten with defeated hopes of victory. The surrounding desert of San Felipe is beautiful yet unforgiving. It does not care if you are in a trophy truck or a VW bug it only seeks to stop you and envelope you into its landscape. So it may claim you, as a trophy of one more hunk of rusting metal.

Clay Egan a quadriplegic from South Jordan, Utah just raced the biggest off-road race of his career, “KING OF THE HAMMERS” on February 27, in the newly built rock racer that the students of Wyotech built for Clay. “King of The Hammers was the gnarliest off-road race I have ever seen,” says Clay.
Clay is the only quadriplegic in the world that competes professionally in the extreme sports of rock crawling and rock racing. Clay was paralyzed in a motor cycle accident 14 years ago which confined him to a wheelchair. Clay started competing in 2003 and has consistently placed in the top ten in the nation against all other able body drivers in the UROC, WEROCK, PROROCK, XRRA and now King of The Hammers series.

SCORE San Felipe 250 story and pictures
In order to win you need to have a plan and a flawless day. Sounds simple but not everybody was able to stick to such a simple formula. Brian Collins (Trophy Truck #12) however did exactly that. He had no flats and never got tempted to steer away from his race plan. “… I put a plan together, being patient, and I told Billy (my co-driver) that’s what we were going to do and he monitored my speed all the time down the real rough sections so we didn’t have a flat or hurt our shocks and we just had a great day. It’s nice when you put a plan together and it works.” said Brian after his win at the finish line. “I told people I was going to go slow off the start and no one ever believes you. I just drove my own race today and everyone came to me. That’s a lucky day of racing and I wish every one of them were that way.” Read more →
