Johnson Valley OHV area California - The Toughest off-road race on the planet
will entertain an interesting spin on the format when the stand-alone Pit Bull
Tires UTV version of the race charges into the inhospitable deserts of Johnson
Valley for the 3rd time February 10th as part of the week long off-road social
experiment known around the world as KOH.
Pit Bull Tires again, leads the charge
and will offer $5,000.00 in prize money to the victors. This year’s 40 mile UTV
race will find itself traveling through not only the wide variety of desert
terrain in Johnson Valley, but will include 2 extreme trails from the collection
of the Hammers. “This is the best course we have had in the 3 years” said Jeff
Knoll of Hammerking productions who went on to add that the course is very well
rounded and difficult, but will not require a specifically built UTV. “We used a
nearly stock Kawasaki Teryx to test the race course.” Hammerking hopes that it
can continue to grow the UTV format and will offer an additional race inside its
2011 Ultra4 tour. “Pit Bull Tires are extremely well suited for this type of
racing” commented Dave Cole co-creator of the KOH family of events. Basic safety
gear is the only requirement to participate in the race.
The Pit Bull Tires UTV race is limited to the first 50 UTV’s that sign up, and
will take place as part of the week long KOH event on Thursday Feb 10th at 8:00
am. Following the UTV race will be an interactive Vendor show, and
Kawasaki Teryx demo
rides. To participate in the 3rd annual Pit Bull Tires UTV please submit a
complete entry form.
The King of the Hammers UTV race will take place in Johnson Valley, CA on
February 10th. For more information, please visit

Monster Energy Kawasaki Teryx on Elvis
My buddy Dave took his brand new Polaris RZR XP down Elvis as well

We rode over to the top of Aftershock and walked down. Damon from HCR was
pre-running the rocks in his RZR.
I had my Can-Am Commander on hand for pre-running. Recently installed
TCB long travel with Elka shocks were nice to have in the rough terrain.
Rugged Radios was in Hammertown
doing installs, upgrades and diagnosing radio/intercom issues.
Fox Racing Shox was setup in
Hammertown as well. They revalved my rear shocks and helped get the
suspension dialed in.
