A place were thousands and thousands of off-road enthusiasts go to test and play with their offroad machines, and while small race organizations currently uses the area to put races together, it has been decades since a mayor off-road event was held in this sacred off-road land. Now The Martelli Brothers, owners of The Mint 400 decided to bring back to California a mayor race-event putting together a 300-mile challenge that now will be known as The California 300.
