Dont know if anyone is interested but ill be heading down to King of the Hammers again this year. If you have never been you definitely owe it to your self to see these guys and their rigs in action. anyways just putting out the feeler to see if anyone wants to tag along.
Here's the Week Schedule to help those figure when what is what

I'm interested in going. If anyone wants to go, we could possibly split the cost of renting a motorhome or similar. I've heard camping in the desert is pretty cold. If you already have a motorhome I'd more than pitch in on the gas.

Your not going to wheel Huck?
I heard the race is not very spectator friendly, is that true?

Depends on what you consider friendly. Basically you pick a spot on the trail (usually the hardest spot), and watch them crawl over each other. I went two years ago and we sat at backdoor all morning and then waited for the racers to come. I had a blast sitting in one spot watching them crawl over each other, but thats just me.

Kind of like watching NASCAR. High speed accidents while your car is safely in the garage.

This seemed like a pretty good clip to me.

I've never sat around Little Sluice watching guys drive through it all day. Instead, I drove my own rig through it.

I've watched one rock crawling event (Donner), I spent the whole time saying, "I wish I could drive my own rig through it."
I guess I'm not much of a spectator when it comes to stuff I could be doing myself. 😂

I went to one rock crawling event at Donner ski ranch and thought it was pretty fun. Some of the rigs were cool but this was "back in the day" when you got to watch an 8-wheel samurai and other different rigs. Today they all look alike and are all 100K, unless you watch class-restricted rigs.
Though I never made the hammers my single time through little sleuce before they blew it up was memorable.
Are we going to have a Hammers 2013 trip John?

You can. But after four years down there, I think I will enjoy my Jeep for a while before I purposely wreck it again.
Greg, you going?
I'd like to go. Not sure if I'm ready. I know they are some serious trails down there.
So I was in LA yesterday picking up the Black Jeep and decided before I drove back to Sac to hit the KOH. All I can say is WOW! There is so much going on there, so many vendors, Jumbo Trons, RVs everywhere. It is really awesome. I am definately making plans to come back next year for a few days. You can drive a car up to Hammer Town no problem so anyone can go, any vehicle can get you there. I had a lot of driving ahead of me so I didn't stay long, but I will be coming back next year for sure.
