2017 King of the Hammers Discussion/Planning/BS

I might be heading out there this year. Not sure if I will be bringing the old truck or the new one yet

 

Who is actually in still? Buggy isn't gonna be ready nor do I want to do a shakedown run there that week. Also looks like Colt and his Camper hookup are out, so back to the RTT/Backseat for me.

Caravan westbound Wednesday (5weeks from right meow) after work and watch a couple days of action?

I should have my trailer if somebody has a 4wd toy they want to bring and drive/ride with me.

 

I'm tentative because of the 19 credits I'm currently signed up for. I'm gonna try to make it work though

 

I would still like to go and it looks like I should be able to make those times.

 

I dropped in my time off request just now for Thursday-Saturday, so pending approval I'm in and we can throw the truck on the trailer if you're down. Kinda taking a lot of time off with the camping trip the following week but fuck it. I'll likely follow you in the new truck too if my tent is on by then

 

Time off is approved

I get back in town on the 7th (Tuesday) and could go as a spectator. I don't think my Taco will be in the shop yet so I could follow in that (it has an RTT) and tow either my Turtleback for cozy living, or my smaller sand rail for just buzzing around. Can't tow both. :-( If there was room on your trailer, we could take the new rail... but it is really just a "go fast" kinda rig.

 

I think @tubbsisland race truck is filling up the trailer.

2wd is no issue to get around to watch. Especially with a Strap and other people around.

 

As long as you're cool with it thats the plan. I guess I should probably rebuild my front bypasses before we go and it desperately needs new rubber but no point in wasting the money on anything but 37s at this point.

 

I'm down.

 

Current plan is to leave Tempe around 10 am on wednesday, drive to KOH, and then leave Thursday night so I can go to class on Friday. So I'll be there kind of haha. It's the only way I can go

 

I'm guessing I'll work a normal day before getting home around 5. Then jump thru the hoops with my truck, trailer, and Cliff's truck before getting westbound.

I'm hoping to find a spot up a little and SW of the lakebed to park the trailers and setup tents. Then cruise around. Watch the shenanigans on the trails by night and racing by day.

@Techoma @justlookin You guys down for the trailer convoy or planning to haul ass earlier. #Trailer55InCali

 

322 miles from my place. 5-6 hours maybe. Gain a clock hour going to CA.

 

I'll have a buddy already out there so we are more than welcome to set up camp with them. They are racing King of the Motos so he'll be out there all week.

My plan was kind of the same. Work a normal day Wednesday and head out afterwards, probably head home Saturday morning. I can get my truck over to your place whenever so if you wanna pull it into the shop a couple days before might save the headache of trying to scramble around Wednesday night.

 

That would help for sure.

 

guess that means I should probably find my trailer straps

 

I've got that covered. Actually 2 sets now
