The Fevor has Started

[TORX]

Anyone else come down with KOH fever yet? Seems to hit me about this time every year. Might have to call in sick next week.

Pirate coverage has started.

Lots of amazing new builds being wrapped up. I've been following the Torchmate build from the start, and it's... incredible.

It's funny though, because you can easily sink $75K into a car, and there's still no guarantee you'll win. That's racing.

Ive been lurking the last few days reading up and preparing for the LCQ and the big show ! Can't freeking wait !

I keep saying it, but..... I HAVE to plan ahead next year and GO !!!!

Hoping Tim from Liquid Iron Industries has a good finish. I remember following his write-ups on here, from when he first started out with his XJ.

Now he's running a Wrangler based buggy with a 2.3L Ford coupled to a Holset Turbo (off a Cummins ).

Since you're taking her car, can I at least ride along?

 

[crazymoose1990]

Yeah I wanna go I have been saying this for a while myself however I will take my car it has a much better ride than a hyundi no offence Darrin and the back seats recline not that I will be sitting in them but they do if i wanted to.

Have you read up on Hyundai spring rates????

 

[crazymoose1990]

No but I bet that they ride like my Si did. Have you read up on Avalon spring rates i bet there softer that Hyundai i will take you for a ride you be the judge Ben.

 

[Gold Cobra]

Your springs will be toast after you give Ben a ride.

 

[crazymoose1990]

Do NOT take ben for a ride in your car, it is too nice. They don't have showers in whatever podunk town he lives in

WOW ! cool build and great story !

Hard to believe what that rig looked like when they started :shocked:

 

[MasterPull]

Our crew is leaving tomorrow and saturday, we are pulling for a couple of the local teams (BNS Fab, BUNK etc) and also for Joey Archuletta to make it a good show. No matter what happens the hammers are one of the coolest places to spend a week. The sheer amount of people that come out is simply mind boggling.

New KOH racer out of Campbell Enterprises.

Seems like there's a good amount of teams switching to the MTR's. I'll be curious to see how they hold up compared to the Krawler/KRT's. I wonder why nobody runs KM2's or Jolly Roger's?

Now that's a mans brake pedal! From the Torchmate build.

Work of art. I wonder if they had to hog out the holes to get it to fit?

 

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

Look at those welds!

On another note it looks like Hammer Town has been established (pic was taken Sunday AM).
