Our story: We're having a great time celebrating off-road racing and the history of the sport. This iconic vehicle #427 was driven by John (JR) Reynolds in 2007 and won the first ever KOH race. JR won the "beer bet" in this Bronco buggy with portal axles and rear steer. JR beat eleven other racers who are collectively called the OG-13. The vehicle came out of retirement for Trail Hero in October 2019, was featured in November 2019 at SEMA, will race in February 2020 and then move to Las Vegas to be show-cased in the Off-Road Hall of Fame for 6 months. This is the vehicle that won the race that STARTED the annual KOH event! We are excited to bring it back.
