En route late Tuesday if anyone needs spares, etc

Anyone else watching? Some great racing going on, but some disappointment too... sounds like Loren Healy broke and is out of the race.

Was awesome to see Nate & John Williams competing in the 'stock' class in their JK's!

All time! The cold weather was a bit brutal but the racing sure made up for it,

We pitted for my Cruiser pal Justin Reece/Rusty Nail Racinf in the 4619 EMC stock class. He rook first in his solid axle x-cab 22RE powered truck

The trophy truck race was super cool. I hope that becomes an annual event. We spent fhe night night high on the curse above the remote pits so we had a really cool vantage point as the TTs came blasting through the Aftershock area.

The big race was action packed. Lots of favorites didn't do to well but past-King Jason Scherer owned it.

Awesome, sounds like an amazing time! I loved Justins truck, it looked like the average full-bodied Toyota trail rig that many of us have wheeled over the years! It says a lot about how well a Toyota mini-truck on leafs works on the Hammers and how well Justin knows his truck!

The Trophy Trucks were a great addition, I really liked the format with all the different types of rigs racing over the week. The King of the Moto's was neat and fun to watch, if you ride.... but can understand why it was cut, after seeing how it all came together this year.

I didn't realize they cut the motos, that's too bad as that sounded neat. I've watched just a few tidbits of that over the years, looks cool

Yeah, last year was the end of KOM. It seemed fun to watch, but the terrain was BRUTAL for a bike, as you well know! I think moving towards 4 wheeled vehicles was a good choice and the T1 trucks were a great change from the moto's.
