King of Hammers 2015

Just a question for those that have been to KOH... is there any sort of organized parking, or do people just cram in to every place they can find?

Been raining most of the night that ought to keep the dust down for awhile. could be some standing water and grease ought there for the week end set up.

I have some buddies there now in car #4580.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.....
