Most here know of the Hammers.... , but for those who don't, I highly recommend, that hell or high water, you get out for at least a couple of days to see a one of a kind of event!


From extreme rock crawling to an all out equally rig destroying longer coarse,.... there is so much to do and so many rigs to drool over (they estimate 35,000 will attend over the week),.....NO ONE who loves this sport would go home saying, "What a waste of time"......!!!!!


The 8th Annual Griffin King of the Hammers Presented by Nitto Tire will be the largest to date with an expanded Vendor show, and additional entertainment. The event will take place during the first week of February and the main event will be held on Friday, February 7th, 2014.

For most any specific information pertaining to the event, you can go to this link and surf around and find plenty...


http://ultra4racing.com/event/koh-week/
Make sure you also go to Facebook and like them.....
https://m.facebook.com/Ultra4Racing?...206056716&_rdr
There are massive connections to be made on that Facebook page, and plenty of links and groups, therein, that people could use to make plans in regards to meeting people, etc.... But, when it comes to people within the site, I thought a major trip planning thread couldn't hurt... Obviously people will be coming from all over, but that doesn't mean that after checking in here and sharing some numbers, multiple people can't meet up.....
So far, I personally I know of a couple people that will be going for sure....
1. Myself/ Chefyota4x4
2. JonnyBoy
3. ZD426
4. BlazeN8
5. Toyotech (MAYBE)


As far as myself, I know that I will be meeting ZD426 and JonnyBoy there ..... Hopefully I will meet up with Blazeland owner, BlazeN8. ... I also plan to meet with several people that I know from Instagram, some of which I've done business with and some of which you all know...


AllProOffroad .....
All4offroad ............
All_Yota ................
Joe_Dirt_Racing ..
Cdt4x4_planbfab (Coming from HAWAII! )
RHUX84 (4wheelparts store owner)


........I would love to meet many more there, and I plan to do just that. I will be camping, most likely, from the 6 through the 9th.... I understand that many people can't come at all, and some, even if they can, may only be available for one day. If the latter is the case, and you can't make time to meet me or anyone else... I totally understand. But if you would like to, please drop me a private message and I will float you my cell phone number and kik ID, Instagram, whatever...


PLEASE make an effort to get to this?



I will also be doing a trip planning thread in the next couple days regarding Tierra del Sol. This is also a giant event..... Something everyone should try to do at least once, especially if you deeply love off roading and OHV's in general...

This will be the first year since 2009 that I will miss the event.
I think what I will miss the most is the festivities at back door Friday night.

Really crappy, but that's life.
Y'all have a safe time out there.

I shouldn't have to mention this but I will anyway: cops are all over the place out there. DO NOT drink and drive!

Unreal.... Well, needless to say, I'm a Lil surprised a site with so many members is not chiming in at all....

The dates are fast approaching, so if someone just simply wants to roll up there for the day, one of these ^^^ days... Please just maybe send me a private message, or you can reach me through Instagram or kik under the same name as here.... I'll be glad to meet ya!

Yep. They make stupid stops left and right fishing for dui's. It's nuts.

Mark, if you didn't know, the TTORA crew will be at cougar buttes Saturday morning. It's 20 mins down the road from the hammers. Definitely worth checking it out if you've never been to the buttes before.

I wish I had a plush toy hauler or RV instead of a ratty old tent. It gets so cold out on the lake bed. All the same getting excited for the trip.

Looks like I'm not going this weekend, obviously today. And Sunday is Super Bowl. I'll definitely be going later in the week. Probably will be going out Thursday (6th) I'll try and call you but I think cell phone service is bad. Maybe we should touch base Wednesday night.

Sounds good buddy... Go ahead and text me whenever you have time on Thursday. Feel free to call as well if that's easier... I'm going to be meeting Zach sometime on Thursday...
