Hi,

We will be at King of the Hammers until February 9th. All orders will ship upon our return. I apologize for any delays in shipping and responding to questions.

Thanks!

Had an amazing time down at the Hammers. Crazy week, finished up the rig on the lakebed. we were still working on it right up to the start line :). Timed out at mile 89 and made it back to camp under our power. Only broke our lakebed flexi-tube exhaust job, melted an arb line and lost an inner axle seal. got back and noticed we had poked a tiny hole in the ram and the front third was completely loose and the tcase had loosened up and spit out a gasket in the middle. Not bad for an initial run with about 45 minutes total drive time on the rig!

My buddy was out there with 4 Wheel 2 Heal. Was talking to him today and he was telling me all about it. Sounded like a blast

It was my first time going to koh my buddy and I had a good time . Its definitely a different event than were used too but were planning on going next year . We were at the back door on friday next year were gonna bring are dirt bikes so we can ride to all the other passes and areas the rigs climb thru seems easier than driving the truck everyway where .

Definitely different. It is pretty intense and spread out, the first year you go it takes a little while to get the feel for it, but it gets easier every year. there are a bunch of good spots to watch the rigs, but like you said they are spread out. bikes would be really nice down there for getting around.

Good times for sure. A ton of work, but well worth it!

GREAT LAKES RAPTOR EXCURSIONS

There were a few people on us throughout the day :). the guy in that pic was broken though. Next year we should be a little faster, our pits were pretty slow and we stopped more than we needed to. the sending unit died before we left so we had no idea of how much gas we had or what our range was with no drivetime on it. Looking forward to next year already. Gonna run the NorCal races at Prairie City over the summer and probably Glen Helen. Hopefully get a little more comfortable with the rig.
