The Mint 400

I’ve made the drive along Interstate 15 from Barstow to Las Vegas quite a few times. While passing through the border town of Primm Valley with its casinos and outlet shopping mall, never once has the thought venturing off in to the desert crossed my mind. If I’m honest, I really didn’t know what the Mint 400 was, nor had I ever watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I guess going in to this event with an ‘open mind’ would be an understatement. Tagging along with Larry Chen of Speedhunters and Andrew Bohan of Lifeblasters, being introduced to the world of Trophy Trucks and Baja Buggy’s was nothing short of mind blowing. Like the saying goes : “Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you locked in to a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.”
