2013 KOH Talk

[sixstringsteve]

wow, what a bunch of stand-up guys. Gigglepin is still a winner to me, moreso for their moral character than their driving (which was fantastic too). Well done. I wonder what was non-conforming about their tires. Stickies maybe?

It's nice to see a sport where people aren't doping and trying to cheat and get away with whatever they can. They seem like great guys. And Currie's response was another great example of sportsmanship. I think I may have to go to KOH next year.

Sounds like they were non DOT stickies.

That was awesome.

Holy Bent Toyota front axle housing~! did you see that...hahaha bad day.


Disqualified Team GigglePin Racing non conforming tires and full hydro steering!!! (maxxis treps, ummm yeah they do kick butt)

John Currie Team Savy Racing WINS everymans challenge!!!

no kidding, sucks to be that guy. Was that his 1st lap or 2nd lap?

I think we need to plan a road trip down there and try to complete this loop in our rigs sometime. Not a race, just a LONG trail run. It'd be fun to see what it's like (though I may cut the desert stuff short).

 

[sixstringsteve]

what was the smallest tire size out there? Did anyone have anything smaller than a 37?

 

[jinxspot]

Did anyone see the crawl magazine article how one of the guys got his truck qualified with a CABLE operated fully hydro system (theres linkage involved that counts...hahaha) ... inovations to meet the rule book and a will to win.

Team Williams is still running strong, through pit 2 and we are now staged in pit 2A. We are in 4th or 5th as best we can tell but only one stock class has come through our pit so its a rough road in between. Still anyones game but most stock class are likley not going to finish in time.

what does Team Williams' rig look like?

Got it. I remember John's rig now.

Talk about a cool recovery going on right now! Until that guy busted out the hi-lift that is.

 

[TEAM FRED]

No KOH for me again this year. sexton offroad is out there giving it a go.
Team Fred and United Team Motorsports have no racing relationship with sexton offroad. But wish them the best.

Anybody else watching?

Team Fred just DNF'd in the LCQ :-\ The fire looked pretty minor, hope it didn't cause any damage. Good jobguys, you were looking great.

We need more local competitors!

It is my dream to run the every mans challenge in a mostly stock willys jeep.

Have you guys seen the EMC results? I think Dave Cole has lost it. 5 out of 34 finished the 4500 race, 1 out of 26 in the 4600. I'm sorry, but that is out of control.
