Driver Travis Carpenter asks people to “Pledge per mile made”
For the second year in a row, Rock Zombie 4×4 club member Travis Carpenter of the 4405 “land-use” team is racing in the famed King of the Hammers off-road race on February 11th to generate funds for land-use. Held by HammerKing Productions (www.kingofthehammers.com) and billed as the toughest off-road competition in the United States, the King of the Hammers is a mix of desert racing and hardcore rock crawling. The grueling 120 mile long course is split into two laps, and many competitors are not even able to finish the race. In only its 5th year, attendance at the race is expected to draw well over 30,000 people to the southern California desert.
The 4405 “Land-use” team is asking people to make a “Pledge per mile made” by Travis Carpenter to the Blue Ribbon Coalition. Individuals and companies may make a pledge at www.sharetrails.org/4405. The amount of the final donations will depend on how far Travis is able to travel in the event. A flat rate may also be pledged. (more…)
Every year the King of the Hammers event and the Ultra4 racing series gets bigger and better. The same is true for King Shocks. Not only will King Shocks be posting a $4000.00 cash bonus to the team who wins K.O.H. on Kings and a substantial discount for racers who purchase shocks for the Ultra4 series but King will also be the Official shock of Ultr4 racing. Like last year, King will be on the lakebed at Hammertown the entire week of King of the Hammers conducting tuning sessions free of charge for King Shocks equipped competitors in the last chance qualifier, the UTV race and the main event.
