Biography

John Bohls, the owner and driver of the Chicken Ranch Race Car sponsored by the World Famous Historic Chicken Ranch Brothel. Imagine, back in 1840 if I was in Texas racing a horse and buggy with the Chicken Ranch logo. Or, after the turn of the century, racing a Model T with the iconic Chicken Ranch logo on the doors. Today in 2025 we are carrying on the spirit with our #1659 mean machine in races up and down Nevada. I have always felt the need for speed. I was a national water ski champion in the USA, France and Belgium. After that I needed more speed so I purchased a water ski boat and pulled others in the World Championships. Off road racing got me hooked in 2008. The Chicken Ranch car is in class 1600 and we race to win and have fun along the way. Our Chicken Ranch Team loves what we do. It is such an honor to represent a historical institution as the Chicken Ranch. Race attendees flock to see our iconic car and visit with the crew. We enjoy answering questions and sharing stories about our races.

Unlimited Off-Road Racing

The Unlimited Off-Road Racing league was formed by The Martelli Brothers in 2023 after more than a decade of successful desert off-road race promotion, including The Mint 400, The UTV World Championship and The California 300. The league was formed to promote the sport of desert off-road racing, the off-road industry, and to expand the reach of off-road companies beyond the industry and into the homes of every off-road race fan, globally. Key attributes of the newly formed league include large racer car counts, competitive and challenging race courses, safe and family-friendly spectating areas, multiple days of racing and off-road festivities all located near major cities and markets that positively affect the off-road industry. The Martelli Brothers, owners of the motorsports powerhouse production group Mad Media have made it their mission to grow the league into a four race series that showcases the best off-road racers on the best courses in North America.
