Nitto Sweeps podium at 2023 Ultra4 Best Dam Race in Disney, Oklahoma

The 2023 Ultra4 Best Dam Race at Disney, Oklahoma and man, did the cars fall fast. This brutal race was taking out cars like the King of Hammers. And there was no shortage of rocks in the 5 mile rock course that would bash the big rigs however, the water claimed more cars than anything. With the cars now running more electronics than ever, water doesn't play nice. One of the biggest problems was with radios—with no communication to the pits a racer does not know how much fuel they have, or how far ahead they are of others cars. Which means pushing too hard could break the car even if they are a mile or a lap ahead of the rest of the pack. By the end of they day every single racer had engine or radio issues, or both. But the Campbell-built, Nitto Trail Grappler tire equipped cars were able to keep them going throughout the race to take all three of the top spots!

Bryan Crofts battled hard and took home a win in his 4400 car

Bryan Crofts with his fresh 4400 car battled hard and took home a win for the day, where lots of other racers struggled at the waterfall— which had some make or break moments.

The water was great equalizer of all the off road rigs that were battling hard

The cold and deep water was great equalizer of all the off-road rigs. The 4400 Unlimited Race Cars were all trying to overcome issues but the water took out the most vehicles.

The waterfall got jammed up several times and became a place for lots of passing

Passing the waterfall was an option, and certainly added some action to the race- but it worked for some racers because of buggys jammed up several times and slowed times.

The crowd could stayed till the last rig rolled though

The crowd at the waterfall stayed till the last rig rolled though, and the cheers and growns made for an electric feeling as cars banged and blasted though.

The rigs were literally racing side by side though several sections of the course

It was clear why the big dogs are always at the top of pack, because they were literally racing side by side though several sections of the course. This is the second time the 4400 cars have ever raced at the Disney, OK off-road area.

Waylon Campbell was ripping around in Campbell Chassis

Wayland Campbell was ripping around in his Campbell Chassis and overcame all kinds of mechanical issues— even getting out of the car to work on it and losing the lead— but still able to cross the finish line in third. Because of all the work, He had few panels, if any, still on his car by the end of the race, looking more like a exo car.

Levi Shirley broke and hopped out to help his fellow racers

Levi Shirley broke early in the day, so as a true racer at heart, he hopped out to help winch buggies up the waterfall as fast as he could, which made a big difference for all the guys who were still trying to go home with a trophy.

The Campbell cars proved to be super tough throughout the day

The Campbell cars proved to be super tough throughout the day, with water leading to problems with electronics on all teams trying to just keep their buggies in the fight.

The Point 1 race team was out in their Porsche 911 trying to battle hard

The Point 1 race team was out in their Porsche 911 bodied 4400 race car. The rocks claimed a ton of cars earlier on and it was war of attrition all day long.

The Rufus racing team was trying to keep up with the fight

The Rufus racing team was keeping up with the fight with Chip and Pip both pushing there cars against the steep obstacles and watching broken parts and flat tires led to many cars just pulling into the pits.

Watching car after car slowly claimed by the rough rock

Watching car after car claimed by the rough rock as they were crashed and bashed until they were winched off by course workers. There were only a handful of cars left that took the last lap of the day at the 2 hour mark.

Bailey Campbell came in second in her white monster that was blasting though the rocks and woods

Bailey Campbell, and co driver Ryan Miller, came in second in her white Capbell Racing chassis and Nitto Trail Grappler tires that blasted though the rocks and woods. Her brother, Wayland, was trying to run her down to bump up a spot on the top box.
