According to the title and description of the video, this is what is known as sand hill racing. Taking place in the United Arab Emirates, the name of the game seems to be pretty similar to traditional drag racing: big engines, forced induction and a healthy helping of nitrous. The only differences? Trucks and SUVs are the weapons of choice, and instead of a flat strip of tarmac, the lane is a sand dune with a slope up to 50 degrees.
Of course, that begs the question: What crazy off-road vehicle would you show up with?

I read about these awhile back. I want to say most runs are 6 seconds and it's not uncommon for the motors to grenade. The whole sport is built on oil money, so money is no object.
it's been a while so I could be wrong here.

In reply to AaronT :
I would be shocked if oil money wasn't involved here.

Looks like a bad time if your motor blows halfway up the hill!
