Australia's biggest off-road race is going down this weekend. Pretty cool to see Harley Letner competing for the overall.
Any other American's headed down to race?
Australia’s Greatest Desert Race – Queens Birthday Weekend June 9th -12th 2017
This year’s (2017) Tatts Finke Desert Race to be held from June 9-12th and will be the forty second (42nd) occasion Australia’s greatest desert race has been held.
Significantly it is also the 30th time that cars have competed in the event that has its origins as a bike only affair known as the “There and Back” race dating way back to 1976. While 2016 Dakar winner and five time Tatts Finke Desert bike race winner Toby Price won’t be tackling the grueling event on his KTM this year as a result of not having fully recovered from injuries sustained in this year’s Dakar, he has entered in the Extreme 2 wheel Drive class in the #487 Geiser Trophy Truck Chevy 6000cc machine
Of special interest will be the Finke debut of American off road superstar Harley Letner, a two time Baja 500 winner and currently un- defeated in the 2017 US Best of the Desert Series.
