[Firemanray]

I can't get enough of it. I've had it streaming live all week. The Hammers is on my bucket list for sure.

[denverd1]

looks like IFS front end on most of them

[cantab27]

its the future ,,,,,,:rolleye0012:

[Firemanray]

I'm watching the final 3 hours right now (delay), the "jack hammer" is a parking lot, rigs as far as the eye can see. That must be frustrating for sure.

[denverd1]

who won?

yea that section where they were all winching up to has got to be frustrating. wonder how many overheated sitting around like that

[denverd1]

Randy Slawson

when 10% of rigs off starting line finish, it's more about the race than who won.

IFS rig took 3rd. Maybe the Grand will stay IFS after all

[Firemanray]

I'm not sure how I feel about that guy. On one hand I think he sux for what he did on the other I think it was epic. If you clog the trail you become the trail!

(I have no clue how to embed the video so you'll have to click to see.)

[denverd1]

Haha! Damn!!! Yea that's a little shady. But like you said Raymond, clog it up ya get run over!

I'm guessing it was a completely legal "pass"?

[Firemanray]

I'm competitive but I don't think I could bring myself to run over somebody's car just to pass.

[XJ Wheeler]

Are there penalties for unsportsman like conduct or something? Don't really blame him for grabbing a rock or two and chucking it. Guy was blaring that siren at the next guy too.

[4.3LXJ]

I have seen some other clips of one vehicle "passing" another in this manner. It seems to be allowed

[Firemanray]

It must be acceptable behavior, here is a different one from last year:

That one doesn't look as bad. Looks like he tried going around and didn't actually go over his.

[OrangeXJ]

I think a a$$ wopping is in order for that guy and shove that siren up his arse

[denverd1]

Did he go over the strap??

So at a minimum they need some rules so folks don't get hurt. You shouldn't be able to drive over a winching rig.

[denverd1]

Slawson looked like he slid down into the stalled rig a bit as well. Hard to tell from that angle.

[denverd1]

Also who wants to go next year???

[cantab27]

rubbing is racing .......yep nothing wrong with it ..you slow you go.........ha ha ha

[Firemanray]

Also who wants to go next year???

It's on my bucket list for sure!!

[denverd1]

Well let's cross it off! Seriously let's get a crew together and head out next year

I'd love to go. 2 problems, Zach will be in college and can't go (he'd be mad if I went without him) , 2, I don't do well as a spectator. I would have to race in order to enjoy it. I can't afford to field a competitive vehicle for that race.

[Firemanray]

I just watched a video from the hammers of a team racing a "rented" car. Now this looks a little more promising, fly to Cali. rent a streeter, go to the hammers, race a rented Ultra4 car then fly home.

hmmm... that sounds a LOT more doable than building something. although your crawler doesn't seem too far off....

I'd LOVE to do this.
:banghead:
until I found the cost:
Rental Cost:
$17,500 rental cost for the entire week plus entry fees*
$7,500 per Regional race plus entry fees*

[denverd1]

car does come with its own pit crew though....

[Firemanray]

13g a piece should cover it, no to bad for a week at the super bowl of off roading. Way cheaper than building a car and transporting it all the way to California.

[cantab27]

build one ray and I shall come run the rope for ya

Sounds like fun, you've got plenty of winching experience!

[cantab27]

[Firemanray]

This would really be the way to go vs. spending $60+k to build your own.

But you could sell it afterward... with all the freshly broken parts... and gently used chassis... and with all those people begging to hand over a fortune to buy a used koh rig... yeah, so who's card are we putting the rental on?!
