Off-Road is racing has an incredible history filled with countless stories often told by campfires for decades. In 1967 Ed Pearlman formed the first recognized sanctioning body dedicated to exclusively to off-road racing – The National Off-Road Racing Association (NORRA). The inaugural event produced by NORRA was the Mexican 1000 – soon to become the legendary Baja 1000. 50+ years later, legends have come and gone – while others are being formed as we speak. We bring to you the Class of 2020 – Congratulations to all of this years inductees!

Danny Foddrill began his journey into off-road in the late ’60s.

They would take Jeeps, dirt bikes, or their dune buggies and drag race just outside of town. His passion for building and off-road started way back in high school on the front porch of his parent’s house, where he built a Jeep from the ground up, including the headers. Read More
