Live today from Johnson Valley, CA is the premier offroad race in the nation if not the world:

King of The Hammers takes place each year in February, on public lands in Johnson Valley, CA. The race has evolved from 12 teams racing for bragging rights and a case of beer, to more than 300 teams competing before more than 35,000 fans in person and nearly 500,000 watching online. Due to the incredible success of King of the Hammers, Hammerking has created an ULTRA4 Racing Series with seven races held throughout the country. Each of these races is a qualifier for the King of The Hammers race each year.

From wide open desert racing to Insane boulder sections with tons of carnage and competition so cut-throat that vehicles will actually be driving over each other.

The reigning "King", Shannon Campbell of Team Monster Energy won the shooutout race on Wednesday at "backdoor" (crazy trail section) and looks to defend his KOH Title later tday.

Richie Keith of the Southern Rock Racing Series (my buddies own that series) took his Rock Bouncer "Plowboy" and had it rebuilt in the shops at Wide Open Designs to be suitable for KOH competition. The rig runs a Dart small block 454, pushing out 755HP and over 700 f/lbs of torque. He had over $250k in it BEFORE the rebuild.

He will be the first "RockBouncer" style buggy from the southeast heading out to the KOH.

CoDriver has a tablet GPS and calls out turns/lines/etc... they're also responsible for getting out to "Spot" driver through tough obstacles, pull winch line and hook it up when they need to winch, etc. It 's a surprisingly active role in the scheme of things.
