Rod Hall (racer)

Rod Hall is an off-road racer. He was inducted in the Off-road Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2005. He has spent his entire adult life around four-wheel-drive vehicles.

Racing career

His racing career began in the 1950s, when organized off-road competition was just beginning. Traveling from his Hemet, Calif., home to races in the Rocky Mountains and desert Southwest, Hall quickly earned a reputation for going faster than other competitors – and surviving races with less vehicle damage.

As the popularity of organized off-road racing mushroomed in the late-1960s, so did Hall’s success behind the wheel. In 1967 he won the inaugural NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally (the race now known as the SCORE International Baja 1000) and has raced in every 1000 in the race’s 39-year history. Hall today is the only racer to have competed in every Baja 1000 in a four-wheeled vehicle.

Hall remains the only driver to win Baja overall in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. To date, he has accumulated over 160 major event wins and more than a dozen SCORE/HDRA & Best in the Desert (BitD) championship titles. His string of 35 consecutive race wins in the early 1980s remains the longest unbroken string of race victories in off-road racing history.
