The 2016 Polaris RZR Mint 400 presented by BFGoodrich Tires kicked off earlier today with tens of thousands of horsepower echoing off the iconic hotels and casinos on the Las Vegas Strip.

Led by 2016 Mint 400 Grand Marshall Rod Hall in his legendary ‘69 Ford Bronco built by Bill Stroppe, racers in 100 vehicles made the 10-mile trek from the Taylor Made Golf Experience south of the Strip and ended on Fremont Street where all the Mint 400 pre-race festivities go down all this week.

Unique to any other offroad race in the world, The Mint 400 gives racers the chance to drive their vehicles down arguably one of the most famous streets in the United States.
