The storm is expected to close major interstates preventing travel to the events. The Best in the Desert Golden State 250 was originally set for this weekend in California City.\r\n\r\n\u201cBITD has been faced with another very difficult decision. This decision comes with much trepidation. BITD races rain, snow or shine. It does not matter. We are racers and racers race no matter what the conditions bring. This is how we were raised, and this is what we do. However, BITD spent the morning on the phones with the California Department of Transportation and they confirmed that there is a high probability that Interstate Highways will shut down due to snow and ice. Therefore, it is senseless to have a race that racers cannot get to safely. As such, we have made the very, very difficult decision to postpone the Golden State 250 and move the new race date to May 18-20,\u201d said BITD CEO Bryan Folks.\r\n\r\nMORE has also postponed the Slash X Duel in the Desert originally set for Barstow this weekend. The race will now be moved to March 4<sup>th<\/sup>.","excerpt":"<p>Two desert racing series have opted to postpone their race events due to a major cold storm that will hit &hellip;<\/p>","date":"February 22, 2023 13:09","categories":[{"id":25047610,"title":"Desert Racing","slug":"desert-racing"},{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"}],"tags":[{"id":25048718,"title":"barstow","slug":"barstow"},{"id":25047636,"title":"Best In the Desert","slug":"best-in-the-desert"},{"id":25048553,"title":"california city","slug":"california-city"},{"id":25049173,"title":"golden state 250","slug":"golden-state-250"},{"id":25049171,"title":"more racing","slug":"more-racing"},{"id":25047632,"title":"off-road","slug":"off-road"},{"id":25049168,"title":"races postponed","slug":"races-postponed"},{"id":25049172,"title":"slash x duel in the desert","slug":"slash-x-duel-in-the-desert"},{"id":25049170,"title":"storm","slug":"storm"},{"id":25049169,"title":"weather","slug":"weather"}]},{"id":3863,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2021\/11\/13\/best-in-the-desert-announces-final-championship-points-after-cal-city\/","title":"Best in the Desert Announces Final Championship Points After Cal City","content":"Best in the Desert has finally released results from the season ending race at California City. The race was moved to the Peralta Ranch after a CRIT decision forced officials off of the BlueWater property in Parker, Arizona. The course featured 28-miles of racing in which most classes did three laps.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3866\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-BITD-Cal-City_Concrete-Motorsports-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3867\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-BITD-Cal-City_Jergensen-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe results were delayed for several days due to a penalty review. Initially, Kyle Jergensen was on track to receive a penalty after a tire fell off of his truck. Further review of the incident determined a strap failed and the tire was not left intentionally. Jergensen finished fourth after changing a flat tire. Sunday he was back on the gas for the win. Jergensen was able to secure the season championship in the series.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3869\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-BITD-Cal-City_Graboswski-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nIn the 6100 class, drivers finished within three seconds of each other. Dustin Grabowski beat Sterling Miller and ray Griffith. Grabowski also was awarded the Championship. In the UTV classes, Vito Ranuio took home the overall Turbo win. Jim Beaver won the overall Unlimited UTV class and Tanner Currier won overall in the UTV Rally class.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-3870 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-BITD-Cal-City_VitoRanuio-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone wp-image-3871 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-BITD-Cal-City_TannerCurrier-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\r\n\r\nSam Berri also secured the overall win for the weekend and the season championship in Class 1.","excerpt":"<p>Best in the Desert has finally released results from the season ending race at California City.
