The Best In The Desert Racing Association (BITD) is an American desert off-road racing association, based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. It was founded by Casey Folks in 1984, and is currently owned by his sons Daryl and Bryan Folks. The BITD was originally a motorcycle-only series, until the Vegas To Reno, the longest off-road race in the United States, was introduced in 1996 with four-wheel classes.
