Ladies will have the opportunity to ask questions and watch as the team continues to prep for race day.
“The ESAB team that will be helping the ladies and our LetzRoll Offroad team that will host the ladies in our pit area are super excited about supporting everyone at this hands on event,” said Andrew McLaughlin, LetzRoll Offroad Owner, KOH Driver, and Brand Ambassador for ESAB Welding. “I think it is awesome that women are at the King of the Hammers and the Ladies Offroad Network is able to offer these opportunities, I know a lot of guys that would love to have the ability to learn like this.
