The Pit Bull Tires UTV King of the Hammers race will be held on Thursday February 11th,
2010 as part of the week long Hammerking Productions' event in Johnson
Valley, CA. The first place purse for this stand alone race will be $5,000.
There will also be multiple contingency opportunities.
Pit Bull Tires has stepped up to the challenge and is proud to be the Title
Sponsor of the UTV King of the Hammers race. "I believe that this is the
next big race. You have to want to win this race, to even complete it,"
said Mike Green of Pit Bull Tires. "We are very excited to be the title
sponsor." Pit Bull Tires is adding to the purse a set of their UTV tires
for the first three finishers and the last place finisher.
All of last year's drivers, and many of the current Griffin King of the
Hammers drivers have committed to racing. The driver application will be
online at www.kingofthehammers.com within the month. There is currently no
cap on entries, and Hammerking Productions expects a great field of
celebrities, seasoned racers, and enthusiasts that just want to come out and
experience this epic adventure.
In 2009, the exhibition UTV race was held and completed within four hours.
The five racers took their vehicles and tested them in the desert and in
some of the most extreme rock crawling environments. This year, the course
will be a little longer, a little harder, and will utilize some of the King
of the Hammers rule book which includes no spectator help, only competitor
help. The length of the course has not been determined at this time. There
will be additional information available soon on www.KingOfTheHammers.com.
