Partnering with off-road race organizer Ultra4, Falken Tire, the manufacturer of high performance on- and off-road tires, has announced its involvement in a new Spec Series that will feature Jeep Wrangler-bodied tube chassis vehicles fitted with factory-supported HEMI motors with the goal to offer a true driver’s class. The competitive series will be known as the Ultra4 Spec 4700 Class, and will be managed by Hammerking Productions, the parent company of Ultra4 and the popular, annual King of the Hammers event. Hammerking will own and rent the first six cars (under an “arrive and drive” program) while offering additional chassis for sale to private entrants and teams. The spec vehicles – identical Jimmys 4x4-designed tube chassis– will compete at every West Coast Ultra4 race in 2014 and run on Falken’s new 37-inch Prototype tires. The class will race on Thursday of the 2014 King of the Hammers week, the same day as the Every Man Challenge event.
