HAMMERS
RACE CLASSES
4WP EVERYMAN CHALLENGE
Originally branded the Smittybilt Everyman Challenge, 4WP (4 Wheel Parts
HCR 4900 UTV CLASS
Wholesalers) has taken over the mantle for 2019. The EMC outpaces its “limited
class” tag with exceptional performance and competition at all three levels: 4500,
4600 and 4800.

HOLLEY EFI SHOOTOUT

“run what ya brung” Holley EFI Shootout presented by KMC, King and ASC. This
nighttime festival of excess will undoubtedly yield big horsepower, big climbs and
big rolls. There is a large cash purse to whoever scrambles up the short course rock
section the fastest. With pro racers from the Southern Rock Racing Series coming
out from back east pitted against Hammers locals, you never know who will prevail.
