Who alls watching / reading KOH ??

They are still racing against the clock, so if he was to run just as fast without any impedements as the first guy across the line then it will be a clock race, not first across the line.

That said, the area they are starting in is full of Cresote trees and has a thousand roads that criss-cross. All of this desert is rough as ****.

A local that knows the area well will know which roads to hit in certain sections that are fast. Randy took me out to Outer Limits the way he and JR went last year and 75% of the trail was smooth as glass.

On the way back, he was driving Carl's rig and I missed the trail he was on and I could not get over 25 mph and I was within 50 yards of the ravine he took me out on going 65-70 mph. Knowledge of THAT desert is key.

The desert race guys are used to driving vehicles that would laugh at this area at 100 mph, but they are in borrowed rigs that do not have the ability to drive that fast. Also, Campbell is reportedly having issues with the air shocks on his rig. I think they will let him down if he tries to pull 100 mph in that terrain.

How much money you guys think was spent in the last couple of months just for this?

I don't know but it has to be a lot. I wonder about the uwharriecross race. It has a $10k payout. It could be bigger than KOH in a few years if his plans work out. Next year he wants to do two races. The following year he'll have three and the start of a series. He's thinking big and it's kind of neat.

Whats the payout for KOH? Haven't been really following it.

As far as I know the winner gets a new toolbox.

And of course title "Winner of KOH" but that's cool too. Whatever floats your boat.

I can't pass because this ****ing Ftoy is going 45mph and I'm capable of 100mph"

1/2 a motor is better than no motor at all bitch!

SMACK,SMACK, that hurts

I found out last night that the Rock-Wear pole position rig is not my old buggy. He just put his name on the side of some dude's rig.

Woo Hoo....it will all come down to who won't over-drive and can pass and stay with JR. Fugger got a hell of a good start at #7....

I hope there is something to see today. So far the "media event" has been a handful of interviews and a broken audio stream. I work with computers and I understand that things like this are hard to pull off well. It's not like they could have tested everything in a realistic setting in advance. It's going to take a few years for them to build up their experience. Having said all that, I'm bummed that it's not better. I wish they camped out by a difficult obstacle and got footage of guys prerunning the course. I wish they mounted a camera on somebody going 100 mph. I wish they got an interesting tech discussion going while people revalved their shocks.

I'm looking forward to today and it's early to say the coverage stinks but it's not looking very good so far.

This race would be fun as ****.
I'd just be pissed if I was behind a trophy truck that turned into a trail plug.

Based on the video of Lance and Camo discussing the race I thought there were going to be trophy trucks in it. But lately it seems like the desert racers guys are all being loaned super pimp moonbuggies. Are there and normal desert racing trucks in the event?

Maybe not, I was under the same impression as you.

 

[BamaTJ]

I just hate all the hype and then the coverage is so shitty you can't even watch it

 

[wngrog]

Nah....no trophy Trucks.

 

[blacksheep10]

I would hate to be one of the end starters that had a better chance up front. Jr should have started where SC is, and Wayes should have been farther up. JR is local as ****, I wish he started last and had to pass.

 

[wngrog]

Just got a call from a buddy on the lakebed. **** is flying, lots of tension and game faces. People are still working on their junk and kickoff is in 15 minutes....

Carl called this morning with "Why are we not out there? This listening to it on the computer is for the birds.."

Crap. I could not agree more. Should have gone to watch/help/ drool

 

[wngrog]

I have nothing
