Tom Wayes / Ultra4 / #321

Tom Wayes is an Alaskan backcountry heli-ski guide turned off-road racecar driver who has found great success in being anything but average. With a larger-than-life personality, Tom thrives in situations that make others shrink in fear. Whether it’s barreling down the snow-covered face of some of the biggest mountains in Alaska strapped into his skis or taming some of the most unforgiving terrain in the country in his LS7 powered Ultra4 car, Wayes has no issue with pushing the limits. After a valiant effort at this year’s King of the Hammers presented by Nitto Tire, Tom and his team are drawing a bead on the 2015 Ultra4 National Series. Follow along with Wayes and the ICON-equipped #321 machine as he battles for a 2015 championship win!
