King of Hammers 2015

I'm thinking about going. Never been to a KOH event. Sounds like fun.

Yes it will be my first time too. I am only going for a one or two nights with the wife. Should be interesting.Let me know if you decide to go maybe we can meet up. There is suppose to be a huge turnout this year.

I'll be there seeing as it's in my neighbor. I'll be able to go home and wash the dirtaway, gets real dusty out there.....

wish it wasnt such a long a drive from MA, I'd love to bring my buggy out!

This will be the first KOH that I miss.

My partner and I took 2nd in the 4600 class last year, and 3rd the year before that.

Won't make it this year. It is quite a fun race with LOT's of people. Hope for nice weather, Prepare for wind and dust, but that is just part of the area.
Have fun, wish I could join you.

I won't be there this year as my bro sold his competition buggy. He won the very first KOH. We were there for the first handful of events and watched him do pretty well over the years.

and his pit crew:

If you can go, it is a very cool event. Sometimes even cold. Always windy with an atmosphere full of white alkali dust. There are maybe hundreds of truck campers there as they make a good tow vehicle with living quarters. They say that Johnson Valley as an off-road recreational destination may be on the cut list as the USMC wants their adjacent land back for training. With the downsizing of the US defenses, they may not need it for training. We'll see.

Frampton has been putting that rig to good use! Just did Windrock Park in Nov with him and Rausch Creek in June. I was sad to see JR have to sell as I watched him build it on Pirate. Its cool being out there wheeling with it!

Little bit of of footage of in on the TN PBS show Tennessee Uncharted also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aDMvttp0FI

sorry for the derail! Just love that rig

It will be interesting. I am heading out Tuesday. Never been to it. I think it will be a good test run for next year. Thanks for all the info.

I have some buddies there now in car #4580.
