Casey Folks, Director of Best in the Desert was excited to announce today the new Camburg “Best In The Desert” Award for 2011. Formerly known as the “King of the Desert” award, this coveted trophy goes to the Best In The Desert competitor that has the fastest average speed for every mile of every race for car and truck classes only for the year. For 2011, Camburg Engineering, manufacturer of the Kinetik Trick Truck, stepped up to the plate as the title sponsor of this newly renamed award.

The winner of the 2011 Camburg “Best In The Desert” Award will receive $4000 in cash and over $5000 in products from the combined contributions of Camburg Engineering, General Tire, FOX Racing Shox, SCOSCHE Industries, and KMC Wheels, plus an awesome trophy.

Jerry Zaiden, president of Camburg Engineering had this to say about the award, “Camburg is honored to be a part of this prestigious award recognizing the fastest racer in the most elite series in desert racing. We are thankful to be able to have the opportunity to give back to the racing community that has supported us over the 14 years we have been in business. This award goes hand in hand with what Camburg products stand for, quality, speed and endurance. To win the Camburg "Best in the Desert" Award you can't have just one of these qualities you must excel at all of them.”

I've haven't been able to find the result. Someone tweet Robby or Kevin,maybe they'll reply.
I'll stand on this comment-that is a little more abstract on how to win.

Unless there is a throw-out race for the Camburg, which I don't believe there is, Weyrich #9 won it. RG was the leader going into Henderson, but finishing 3 hours down to the leaders killed him in the standings. That said, way to go RG on winning the championship in the 1500 class!!

What was the reason that RG stopped on course anyway? I was in Okoboji Iowa on Saturday and was not able to follow the race. All I know is that RG stopped on course around RM 20 on lap 1 for a considerable amount of time...
