Rod Hall (racer)

Rod Hall (born 1937 or 1938 — died June 14, 2019) was an American professional off-road racer.

He won the 1964 Afton Canyon Jeep Junket near Riverside, California, in what may have been one of the first organized off-road races in the United States.

In 1967 he won the inaugural NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally (the race now known as the SCORE International Baja 1000).

He has accumulated over 160 major event wins and more than a dozen SCORE/HDRA & Best in the Desert (BitD) championship titles.

But I did learn that you don’t go any slower than you have to in the rough stuff, maybe you can just pull out a mile and a half faster than the other guys without beatin’ up your car.

Chad also raced Hummer H1s but has switched focus to the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, Silverado T1XX, and his Spec Trophy Truck.

Rod Hall Products currently works on the Colorado-based Infantry Squad Vehicle project of the United States Army with GM Defense and Hendrick Motorsports.

The Hall family has raced every Baja 1000 in a four-wheeled vehicle, first Rod and now his children.
