Injen Technology Will be at Race Wars LA !

Like a "Fast & Furious" movie come to life -- only legal -- RaceWars LA brings all the high-octane excitement of a street race to Irwindale Speedway. Combining drag racing with show cars, vendors, live music and, of course, gorgeous models, this car lover's event has only been getting bigger and better since it began in 2015. This L.A. edition kicks off the 2017 world tour with some of the hottest builders in the country showcasing their work. Whether you're into classic cars, imports, American-made, trucks or bikes, 742 Race.Wars LA has you covered.

What seems like yesterday, has now become our second tour for the national event  RACE.WARS USA. A tour that started by an idea from a movie has lead itself to become an anticipated event, nationwide. What started in Los Angeles, CA in the Summer of 2015 with a record attendance, then travelled to Las Vegas, NV for an event that set the standard in production, to then leaving it's mark in Dallas, TX with an event that shook its big state, returning to Los Angeles for it's BIG re-appearance in which many thought would never happen again.  RACE.WARS USA has become a lifestyle movement that will continue for years to come.

Join the production event that opens the doors for Enthusiast, Manufacturer's, Fans and Media to a whole new style of culture. With today's growth in branding opportunities that consist of grassroots events, social media, exposure and lead generation, is no wonder why  RACE.WARS USA is an event not to miss. 

Dean Schlingmann Motorsports Wins Class 8 SNORE "Rage at the River"

On December 12th, heading into the final leg of the SNORE (Southern Nevada OffRoad Enthusiasts) Rage at the River,  Dean Schlingmann Motorsports was in the lead over the rest of the competitors in the Class 8 field and was looking to increase that lead with a dominant performance. For Class 8, that meant that Schlingmann's team was focused on their game 24-7 to keep their position as leader of the pack.

From the moment the starter flag was dropped, the DSM team never looked back. The two day SNORE event, held in Laughlin, NV is home to 390 race entries and thousands of race fans who come to the banks of the Colorado River to see some of the best in Off Road Racing. They were not disappointed.

Racing for two days, over a 12.5 mile course, Dean Schlingmann and Mike Davis piloted the Injen Technology  class 8 rebuilt Ford F-150 truck to a class win on one of the roughest race courses the duo had seen. The McKenzie Rage at the River is comprised of high speed (100+ mph) sections as well as some of the harshest low speed technical areas the Nevada desert can muster.

Throughout the event, Schlingmann's rebuilt F150 (his former "daily hauler" while as a student at UC-Riverside that was stripped and repurposed as a race truck) performed admirably with the BFGoodrich KR tires on Raceline Monster wheels put the power to the ground produced by the 410cu-in Windsor built by Southwest Racing Engines. This gave "Layla" the base for his superior race performance.

As a 2X payout for the weekend, the class win also meant that the team at Dean Schlingmann Motorsports sealed their 2015 SNORE Class 8 Championship. During the post-race team meeting, Dean commented that “this win and this championship are the result of the endless efforts or our team members and our sponsors. Without them all, this wouldn’t have happened. Thanks go to you all”.

Injen Technology is proud to sponsor Dean Schlingmann Motorsports' major win in the SNORE and look forward to further racing BITD, MORE, and SCORE events.

Here's a video of the DSM truck as it was being assembled and road tested back in 2006.

See You at This Year's King of the Hammers!

This year Injen Technology will be attending the event that started it all, the 10th anniversary of the toughest offroad race ever -- the Nitto King of the Hammers presented by 4 Wheel Parts!

King of the Hammers will take place Friday, February 5 - 7th, 2016. King of the Hammers is an off-road race that combines desert racing and rock crawling. This race is held in February on Means Dry Lake at Johnson Valley, California USA. The race is broadcast live on the Internet at www.ultra4racing.com/live each year. In years past, in the evenings, Roxy TV was a nightly television show from the lake bed in Hammertown.




King of The Hammers race week has expanded from one race, King of The Hammers, held each year on Friday, to a series of 5 races held throughout the week. The races include:

• King of The Motos on Sunday 
• The KOH UTV Race on Wednesday
• The Every Man Challenge Race on Thursday
• and a new ULTRA4 vs. Rock Bouncer shootout held on Monday night of race week

The race vehicles used at the King of the Hammers are known as Ultra 4 vehicles which are capable of speeds over 100 miles per hour for the desert sections, but still contain gear ratios of 100 to 1 or lower for technical rock crawling. This Ultra4 class is unlimited 4400, and every vehicle is custom fabricated by each team. Traditional design for the front drive-train is a straight axle design, but (IFS) or (Independent front suspension) is becoming a popular design for the high speeds achieved in the wide open plains of the desert. Most racers use highly modified GM V8 engines that can have up to (800 hp). 40" tires are common and racers use beadlock wheels.

Competitors start side-by-side, two vehicles every thirty seconds, and must complete the 165-mile course in less than 14 hours. Each team must pass through seven checkpoints and at all times while staying within one hundred feet of the centerline of the course. KOH is a no-chase-team race; repairs can only be done on the track by the racers or in the pit area

Look for the Injen Technology booth at the event.  We will be displaying products for the offroad market as well as other Injen merchandise!
