WRISTBANDS FOR KOH
• Entry to watch the 2016 Nitto King of the Hammers and all other Hammers Week events is no longer a 20.00 donation, it is a fee that must be charged at the gate. We do not have them in the Community Center.
The Bureau of Land Management is restricting access to selected public lands in the Johnson Valley OHV Area during Hammers racing, January 29 to February 6.
Hammerking Productions had to get an exclusive use permit, something Dave Cole has long resisted. He always said, we all pay taxes for those public lands. He never wanted restricted access.
But, now it’s a fee, 20.00 per person. The spectator wristband you get at the gate on Boone Road is your ticket for the whole week of racing action, as well as to vendors row and after hours events in Hammertown. The fee will help pay for the $130,000 BLM permit, $40,000 for porta-potties, $30,000 for fences, plus generators, light towers, 3 Jumbotrons, security, etc. etc.
To get through the front gate as quickly as possible, bring cash. Cell and wireless service can be spotty.
Speaking of wireless, check out
Home | Ultra4Racing.com for online access through Mojave WiFi, and all the spectator info you will need to know.
You will not be allowed within 150 feet of the racing except in the designated spectator areas. Courses for all races are designed to be bottleneck-free as possible, but certainly will be as challenging as ever.
Be prepared for crowds. Dave says all indications are we will see more visitors than ever. He asks spectators familiar with the terrain and routine to help out any newcomers; everybody have fun and be safe!
