KOH 2013

[MogLux]

So King Of Hammers is just about apon us once again .. who is going over , who intends on watching the live feed, who doesnt give a shit...

Most of the same guys who pitted for Nick and Mal are heading back to pit once again with the addition of Pete Antunac, Bug, Dean and Hazard, and being we are in the same pit as Ben Napier once again im sure ill be helping him out also..

Dave Camp is heading over as Bens Pit cheif, with Daves experience in the V8 ute pits it will be awesome to see him in action..


Both Nick & Mal have another new Jimmys 4x4 rig they will be competing in and we cant forget the new Koala Punch Ultra 4 of Bens, this thing is of umbelievable qaulity . http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/general- ... ation.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;



Rumor has it that Criddy has also entred and shipped his vehicle from Aus to the Valley.. Will be interesting to see how they stack up to the big budget teams.. I wish them all the best and im sure i will see them on the valley .

Its good to see more and more Aussies making the trip each yr..

[brooksy]

I am hoping to make it over in a pit crew but still a bit up in the air due to work commitment uncertainty.
Otherwise live feed for sure

Which Pit you looking at being in Brooksy..

[MogLux]

Iv also just purchased myself a Sony Action Cam, a few more features to the new Go Pro Hero 3 Black edition, Hopefully ill be able to mount it on both Bens and Nicks cars during prerunning so get some high speed footage of them in the desert.

He couldn't even beat a $2 moonbuggy!!!!




But honestly good luck to him! kick some whiny yank arse...

[brooksy]

In Criddy's pit, but I also had to catchup with a couple people, guys at Artec, Whypave & have a drink with Randy Rodd.
I was originally going to head over with Pete A. but work change held me back from commiting outside talking to Pete & what his original plans were. But I had intentions to help out any of the Aussie guys, it is just a huge bummer with timing & changing jobs especially now that I can afford it.

You guys suck!!
Insanely jealous of you all. Will be doing an allnighter watching the live feed.

Bens new rig looks and sounds very nasty, seen footage of Criddys 40 based rig, hopefully they have a great race. Im sure they will do us all proud.

Looking forward to it.

[DUDELUX]

[alexcliffo]

My Ultimate holiday would be to go over to Chile for the Dakar, then hop on a bike and make my way up to KOH, and hang around the West Coast and Rockys for a while.

aaaaaannnd then I wake up

[MARKx4]

What is the link for the live stream? i couldn't find it on the ultra 4 website...

[big38l]

Wish i was...... Would always lend a hand to any Aussie team that is over there. Looks like its going to be a good year!!!

[Smithy jnr]

I will be there navigating for Team Gigglepin, drop in for a beer if you see us.
Heading over on Jan 26 to pre-run some tracks, should be as much fun as the actual race...

We are due into the lake bed saturday the second, hopefully our caravan is all set ready to go and it'll be smooth sailing.
Looking forward to meeting alot of you guys over there for a drink or two. Can't wait to check out Ben's new Penhall rig.

[MogLux]

Here is a link to Pirate4x4 with updates of what is happening thought out the week... yes its my intention to make you all jealous if your not coming ..

Cant wait to see Robby Gordon drive his stadium Super truck in demos

[brooksy]

Yeah I am torn something fierce !!!
I can afford to go but I am only on my 3rd full swing with the new job, not to mention the wife a bit put out with a big $$ spend so early too. I will be supporting Criddy & Johnsey in another way if I can't make it anyway. Basically I have a week left on my decision but to be honest I regretfully doubt I will.
Just hope KOH gets another year at JV as I WILL be there next year !!

Ok, so sounds like there is a few Aussies coming over this year. Let's do a bit of a get together. Sunday (the 3rd) afternoon - 4pm. We're not allowed to pre run that day and the bikes will be done racing by then. At my pit - 100 Yukon - look for the big Aussie flag. All welcome. I'll have a few beers and snack available. Come and introduce yourself if I don't know you already. If anyone manages to smuggle me some Australian beer that would be awesome!

Ben Napier

[MogLux]

So the live feed was on today to pick the LCQ start positions

Ben Napier - 57 wednesday
Nick Finch/ Mal Van - 48 wednesday
Criddy - 57th position on the tuesday.

[XJames]

Everyone going to KOH should create an account and sign this E patition. I think we can learn alot from the way Americans fight land use issues.
