2011 Lucas Oil Off-Road Expo in HD Video!

An estimated 40,000 folks attended the two-day event.

     An estimated 40,000 spectators flocked to the Pomona Fairplex on the weekend of October 8th and 9th. Center stage was Lucas Oil's Off-Road Expo exhibition, with several sub-shows that coordinated with the off-road racing, off-road recreation and four-wheeling themes.

     The Off-Road Expo is a nexus for the four-wheel drive community. 'Hall of Fame' racers, the manufacturers of aftermarket products and other interested parties in off-roading find their way to the Expo. Aftermarket vendors and businesses, both small and large, set up booths and share technology. Attendees explore the latest innovations and wares.

Rob MacCachren signs posters at the BFG display area.

     Walking the show, you'll cross paths with the racing community and its many support networks. At this year's show, we saw Walker Evans, Rod Hall, Rob MacCachren, Shannon Campbell...the list kept growing! There were professionals and champions from every form of off-road racing: Baja and closed course trucks, the desert racers, Jeepspeed 4WDs, buggies, Ultra4 4x4s, Jeep rock crawlers, dirt motorcycles, ATVs and UTVs.

4WD Mechanix Magazine's Dodge Ram 3500 on display at the BFG booth!

  4WD Mechanix Magazine had the privilege of displaying the newly "made-over" 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 pickup at the popular B.F. Goodrich booth, a great opportunity to talk with readers and truck enthusiasts. Throughout the show, others had the opportunity to share their specialty vehicles at exhibits, booths and the displays.

The crowd found the Dodge Ram 3500 much to its liking!

     In this quick tour of the 2011 Lucas Oil Off-Road Expo, you will discover why the show keeps growing. Drawing from the entire 4WD and off-roading community, every kind of product is available. Get equipment ideas, entertain your kids and enjoy two days of fun at next year's show!
