King of the Hammers 2010 Feb 8 - 13 Johnson Valley, Californ

Post by stampy4x4 »

Well it's roughly one month until this awesome event gets under way again. But there is a program that is airing now on Pirate 4x4 TV (link in the quote below) with the starting grid draw, interviews, and a preview of the LCQ, the Last Chance Qualifier course.

King of the Hammers website
The 2010 Griffin King of the Hammers starting grid will be determined on Tuesday night January 12, 2010 live on Pirate4x4 TV Live! The show will air from 5pm – 8pm PST Live at http://www.pirate4x4.com/tv/live.php . As the drivers are drawn, they will be talked about individually highlighting some of their accomplishments and abilities.

The 2010 4 Wheel Parts Last Chance Qualifier order will also be determined and the course will be revealed. You will watch a turn by turn video presentation of the ins and out of this grueling 6 mile course that must be completed before participating in the Main Event on Friday. Stay for the post-show to see the in-car camera of the course as well.

The 2010 Griffin King of the Hammers is gearing up to be the largest happening on the Means Dry lake bed ever. The schedule of events is amazing. The companies that are coming together to support the event is incredible. The entire schedule is rolled out as a video presentation so you can have more detail on each days activities starting Sunday February 7th and wraps up Saturday February 13th.

Pirate4x4 TV Live! is a monthly TV Show that is hosted by Camo and Charlene. Special guests for this months episode include Jeff Knoll from King of the Hammers, Greg Adler and Brent Goegebuer from 4 Wheel Parts, Steve Beebe from Griffin Radiators and Bill Kunz from Torchmate demonstrating their new 2x2 table. Lots of video footage from Johnson Valley will also be included.

23rd is a really good place to start. Wouldn't they be spewing if an Aussie takes it out. Going by what I see they have every chance that they could.

I would love to know what place he thought he would have gotten before he broke. I hope he competes next year, I might go out and watch.

Yeah, its becoming a real shame that Campbell keeps busting. I just want to see how much faster he is than everyone else.

It must be crazy, the fact he jumped 70 rigs in the first 35 miles and he started in Position 72 :shock: , then it would have been all clean air from there.

If his rig held together i am sure he would have dominated every year like he did in the second one.

Oh and well done Ben.

I had to leave around 6 yesterday morning and didn't see the rest of the race but Ben did so well early on, running as high as second for a large part of the early stages of the race.
Hopefully coverage of the event will continue to improve as the live feeds were a bit of a challenge to sit through this year.
The DVD should be a ripper though as they had a lot of cameras recording the event. Pre-ordering mine from Locktup this week I think :armsup:

And this year, pretty sure he won't let it happen again though.

Anyone found any results or some info on the event other than the chat room type coverage Pairate did this year? Usually they have someone writting up info as it happens but it appears they did not do that this year :? So unless I watched it live im struggling to find very little info at all. It took me 10 min of searching on Pirate to even find out who won. I would say this was the worst coverage of any event pirate has ever done.

Anyone found a results list yet?
