Right now. Amid the majestic backdrop of the mighty snow-capped Sierra Nevadas, there exists a purpose-built race course that is the culmination of a vision that has today achieved a momentous milestone. Cradled deep within the sheer canyon walls are a handful of spec-built, stadium-style super trucks. Among them are the drivers who make up a class unto themselves. They are the first.

Ricky Johnson is a legend, plain and simple. The man has met U.S. presidents. He's an inductee of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame. And he's one of the most honored Motocross and Supercross athletes of all time. He made a name for himself in the 1980s as one of the great racers of all time and his record speaks for itself: 61 AMA national wins, seven of which were national championships.

A milestone in the emerging development of the virbrant spec truck racing class, SuperLite Championship will launch the SuperLite Off Road Racing School on July 14, featuring legendary racer Ricky Johnson as race instructor at its purpose-built short course off-road racing facility in Reno, Nevada.
