King of the Hammers Race

[StevenH]

KOH is the first race of its kind. The event will take place on February 22, 2008, and is a non-spectator event. The event will part rock race, and part desert race. Race teams will start at 30 second intervals from Means Dry Lake bed, and will navigate through the desert on a set race course to their first rock course. As of today, the official course has not been released, and is not going to be released until race week. What we do know is there will be approximatley 50-60 miles of desert racing, and approximately 7 Johnson Valley trails (aka: Hammer Trails - Sledgehammer, Jackhammer, Wrecking Ball, etc) to make up the course.

Keep checking on it, the race footage is going to be insane. Imagine the adrenaline rush running 80mph and you get to a rock section that you should slow down on but don't want to. Expect plenty of carnage!!!
