KOH Anyone?

Anyone going to King of the Hammers?

I’ll be there 2/1 and heading back home 2/3.

Just a quick midweek trip to check it out. I know, I’m going to miss the main events but hey I’ll take what I can get from I had to use the guilt trip of not making it to Cougar Buttes to go to this one

 

Every year! It's the one event I always go to I'm heading out the Saturday before and I'm codriving a UTV on Thursday, pitting for EMC Friday, and watching 4400 (should be racing that but I'm a lazy bitch).

 

Badass!

 

Funny you should mention him

 

Make a booth, can't reach a larger audience than posting up at KOH and last time I looked it was relatively cheap.

 

I know Thursday night is crazy. What about Tuesday/Wednesday?

 

Every night is pretty crazy, usually the issue is being at the right place at the right time since the big obstacles will be full of people but not a lot of people actually going up them and putting on a show, at least not non stop. But it always looks like a highway at night going out to chocolate or backdoor. And then there's qualifying and short course and other stuff happening in town during those days too. Not quite as exciting as Thursday/Friday/Saturday but still a good time.

 

Ham is ready to rock, heading out on Saturday!

 

I’ll be there Sunday through Saturday.

Shootout Monday night can be either great, or not anything to write home about. Course location is typically hush hush till right before, but I’ve heard rumors….

every night has something going on, but you will need to find it. Could turn into a great party just about anywhere. Thursday used to be known for the Backdoor party, but that’s turned into more of a shit show in the last 5 years. So congested that nobody can even go run it. Those that do, run the risk of landing on spectator…. That sucked a few years ago. Took a long time to get him out.

Gonna be weird with the 4400 race on Saturday instead of Friday this time. Still undecided on if we will stay and watch the first finishers, or just split after the first couple hours. I’ve got a 20 hour drive to get home!

 

Tundra noob here (to the truck and forum). This'll be my first KOH and although he doesn't know it or me yet I'm one of Toby (and obviously Jason's) pit bitches for the race @snivilous

 

So beyond jealous of your shop and lift setup.

 

I lucked out finding the property (arguably, took 1.5 years of looking for a house) and then the lift was $2k shipped! Though that was pre covid era, now they're about double that. It's a work in progress, needs some insulation and heating and AC, but dressing appropriately is a lot cheaper and easier

Bought a rear sway bar, reinstalled the air bags, cranked the compression, Tundra is ready for the trip! I'll be monitoring 152.900 the whole time if anyone wants company

 

Wait wtf, who are you have we talked on IG? There's so many people that are like, I know Jason or Amber and I'm like wtf, I codrive/pit for them so we've probably talked but I don't know who's who

 

Yes sir. Complete coincidence he's a moderator on the forums. I was his "codriver" when he and I chased Amber the first year she raced, and ever since then he for some reason thought I was good at navigating. Then in October I let him drive my can am and he loved it so much he bought his racecar can am about a week later and invited me into the side seat.

 

I've been especially questioning my life choices when he rolled the other day...

 

Bastrds are heading up tomorrow. Coming back on Sunday.

 

nah, we've never met or talked. I'm just one of his NorCal cronies lol

 

I would hardly consider it a roll, it was a gentle flop. Can-am needed a nap

 

I'd agree with you, but I think he loses points since he did it onroad

 

well to be fair all four wheels were actually in snow/ice at the moment of inertia. it just landed on pavement. gotta test that roll-over angle... you know, for science

 

Touche when are you heading down?

 

Gotta work unfortunately, so hopefully after work Tuesday for an earlyish Wednesday arrival
