Tens of thousands of spectators are coming to the Johnson Valley off-road area to rally around hundreds of off-road racers. They’re coming for what promotors call “the largest off-road race event in North America in terms of both competitors and spectators.” Yes, it’s the King of the Hammers; reporter Mike Lipsitz says this is where the rubber meets the rocks …This weeklong, mega-event combines desert racing and rock crawling, and has expanded from one race to a series of five races. All the action emanates from Hammertown, the small city that rises from the floor of Means Dry Lake just down State Route 247 in Johnson Valley and where the tens of thousands who gather there will find everything they need from breakfast burritos to bumper brackets. A seven-day pass is $25 at the gate This is the 11th annual King of the Hammers event. It continues through Saturday, February 11. The opening desert race and rock crawl starts today, February 4, and the actual King of The Hammers race setting off on Friday, February 10.
