Well, ya wanna be part of the race you say??

Here's your chance.

We are looking for volunteers for the 2010 King of the Hammers Race.

There are things going on all week that we can use help with, but the biggest is the race itself on Friday Feb 12.

We need people and Rigs to man checkpoints, road xings and other misc duties.

Race day will likely go into the evening at some areas.

you do not have to have a rig to get to any of the checkpoints or to volunteer. we can get you to any checkpoint that you would be assigned to.

If you Have a 2m race radio capable of transmitting and recieving in the 151.475mhz range and can bring it out with your rig, that would be great, please let me know.

So, if you're interested, post up here and let me know.

Thanks.

I did it last year and had a great time. It's a great way to get an inside look at the race ;) Winning some brand new winch rope from Viking at the Volunteer Raffle was cool too :D

:homer:

forgot to mention the raffle and the tacos on the night before the race also :D

Sweet raffle last year.

The only raffle I have ever seen where they keep drawing tickets until there are no more tickets in the hat. Thanks Viking and Poly Performance for my shwag.

We had a lot of great donations for the raffle last year.

even had a ready welder donated last year!!

There were multiple Ready Welders and a Premiere Power Welder as well ;)

By manning checkpoints and stuff, do you mean just pointing people in the right direction and helping lost souls or what?

What day is the absolute latest to be there besides Friday? Thursday? morning?

Put me down, I will make some room in my schedule somehow :smokin:

Now is your chance to work with me! :D The pay sucks, the hours suck but the job kicks ass and I will even feed you lunch :laughing: And if you are nice I might even let you drive my pretty pink RZR! :D

Ok, seriously...working the race is an experience that many would love to have. It's amazing to see everything up close and personal. And when the DVD comes out, you sit back and think *man, I was a part of that*. Does miss out on your chance :roxy:

I will be out there all week, I might be able to help up to thursday, but I plan on riding in Camo's buggy on friday:grinpimp:

checkpoints for the race will be stoping the racecars, logging their time and thier number and sending them on thier way.

can't get much closer to the action :D

we're planning on having a meeting Thrusday evening that we'd like to have everyone attend... however, if circumstances dictate you can't get there until late, we usually start sending people to their positions on course by 8am or earlier.

this was the list from the companies that donated last year.

some cool chit in there for sure too :D

Having helped Surveyboy & Dave hand out the Volunteer Raffle booty, it was EPIC!!! I couldnt believe some of the stuff that the Vendors pitched in. Axles, tires, wheels, bumpers, more hats, shirts, stickers, tow straps than you could shake a Roxy at.

:homer:

forgot to mention the raffle and the tacos on the night before the race also :D

Yeah somehow the word about Taco's never made it over to me... I had to steal some pizza from a friend and kept techin' the "cars". Which btw is a term I hate. :laughing:

LOL, you weren't paying attention then :D

but, think of it this way, look at all the great info you got from looking at everyone's rig last year.... and now you know what works and what doesn't.

that's worth not getting a couple of tacos right?? :D

more hats, shirts, stickers, tow straps than you could shake a Roxy at.

You are the first on my list of bullhorn wakeup calls :p :roxy:

how far is this event from the san diego airport? would be neat if i could pull this off coming from hawaii.

There are a lot of volunteer positions. Some of the positions require past experience with Hammerking. I won't list those, but if you have been involved in the race the last year or two and would like to step up to a bigger role just let Shawn know.

Some of the volunteer positions are as follows;

Check point worker;
Works one of the multiple check points on the race track. Some positions require an early start sub sunrise, or late finish, well past dark. Workers will be responsible for stopping all racers and verifying number, recording data, and reporting to the scoring director. We will staff a check point with multiple parties as to allow plenty of breaks, and time to enjoy the race. This job can be hectic depending on which check point. Early check points get the action, later check points run a little slower, but are more important as we get down to the leaders of the race.

Check point captain;
Management of check point workers, and use of race radio. Best for experienced volunteers but not required.

Pit stop captain, and assistant.
Management of safety in the pits. Verify use of fuel mats and proper storage of fluids. Pit stop captain may have to report issues to the race director. Make sure Pit crews do not drive down the course to retrieve a racer until the area has been closed to racers.

Road crossing workers and Capitan; Just what the name says. Make sure the racers don't run into a car driving on the road. This year we will have to make sure we are on top of two road crossing at the end of the race. Both are access to remote pits that cross the race course.


In addition to the main race we need to fill positions for the UTV race and the LCQ race. If you want to get as close as possible to the race teams this is how you do it.

As in the past Thursday night is the Volunteers night. We have hosted a special dinner and raffle just for the volunteers, and the racers will again attend to show just how much they support the race staff. In the past teams have not only hosted the raffle, but giving away some very cool personal items in the raffle. We again expect to see race teams walk into the the volunteer dinner with arms full of race team swag.

Thank you for volunteering for a very wild week on the lake bed. The race can not happen with out the support the volunteers show for this exciting new form of off road racing.

Jeff

from san diego? i'm guessing 3-4 hours or so.

if you can fly to ontario airport you can typically be there in 2

Put me down as a definate maybe. I have a rig, a 2 meter radio, and race experiance albiet SCCA road course, but I bet its transferable.

Problem is I may be in Iraqistan. I will not know until December, but I would prefer to be at KOH.

Thank you. Found him and sent a PM

Would love to help out! Just have to figure out if I can make it out there for 2010 or not...

interested in volunteering again. had a blast last year at checkpoint 2.

EMT, and have radio.

never been to KOH b4 but have wheeled JV several times... would there be any need for a LEO that could do security work?

Jake and I have talked to Dave about volunteering, and I am incredibly excited.

I was wondering what kind of medical support will be there? If theres help needed in that arena i'd love to do that as well as anywhere else that I'm needed.

Ill be there for the week helping pit but should be able to help with the lcq if you need more

Roxy I also have a BullHorn that you can use if needed. It has the siren etc, runs off of 8 D cells so its pretty loud. I should be on the lake bed on Tuesday

depending on what you would perfer, we can find a spot for you. Phillyfan is heading up the security aspect of things. I'll pm him and hopefully he'll stick his head in this thread.

Jess, IIRC Bob and Machelle(?) Green will be heading up out medical support. However, we need anyone who know medical also.. since they can't be everywhere. Last year we had emt crews stationed at different areas, as well as the many of other people at checkpoints.

Sending a PM.

One of the biggest changes from last year to this year will be the security presence.

Had some stuff walk away from peoples trailers and a couple idiots that felt it was just fine to get too drunk to stand and do HIGH speed passes through camp at midnight with no headlights.:shaking:

Traded PMs, very interested.

mac 'hoping to make it work' gyvr

Shaun, sent you a PM.

I'll be there as usual to help. Probably late Mon or Tues. Got radios. I'll bring something for the volunteer raffle.

I am planning on heading that way if everything works out and will be glad to help.

:D

thanks guys :)

Are you guys going to have a spot to sign up to volunter each day or the night before at the event?

I can help out also as a volunteer.

I can help with security if there is still a need, not a LEO, but been in the security industry the last 20 years in various capacities. So I'm sure I could bring something to the table.

Just let me know.

Might even be able to offer some Amsoil for the raffle.

Dirk

Are you guys going to have a spot to sign up to volunter each day or the night before at the event?
Gonna try and get as much of it squared away as possible before hand, but, I'll likely have a sign up/in sheet for every day

Wow, lots of great volunteers so far, keep the list growing guys!

Gonna try and get as much of it squared away as possible before hand, but, I'll likely have a sign up/in sheet for every day

I'll be racing Friday, but if everything is square away with the buggy I would like to help out at LCQ...of course I won't know till the day or night before were we stand.

I'll be there and can help out and possibly bring a radio. I have experience almost getting run over by most of the east coast guys already seeing as I was a check point worker at the Rausch Creek quailifier. I mean almost getting run over has to count as experience, right? :laughing:

that's the best kind of experience :D

Calling all crowd control volunteers. I have a job for you that will put you closer to the action than anyother position out there and you are garunteed to see all rigs running.

I have been in talks with EarlKann and the Rockbrawlers...but I need another 10 bodies. The mission is starting line crowd control. I need a group of focused individuals to monitor and keep back the crowd at the begining of the race.

What does this require? Be sober and able to tell people NO!!!

PM me if this sounds like something you would like to do. After the start I can have you shuttled out to another obstacle to help out there and get a different perspective from a rock climb.

Thanks...SurveyBoy!

Will have my rig and can help with crowds

Fernando

only if i lived closer

Pm sent.

Scott

:eek:

You can hear my concern in the 2nd crusade DVD at the beginning of the race. The crowds absolutly freaked me out at the starting line. Amazing how close the spectators got to speeding almost out of control race cars. That wont happen again or I might start looking like a fish flopping on the ground at the starting line(read heart attack).

Thanks Sheriff Tree.:smokin: Hammertowns finest!

can we get a couple of the bean bag shot guns to help control the really slow learners :evil:

The last two posts just caused our insurance premiums to go up 10x :flipoff2:

You know, I was thinking about that.

Last year there was yellow caution tape if I remember right, but most of it was ruined in the wind.

It would be to much of a pain for concrete barricades...

But what about a bunch of red carbonite stakes like what the forest service has up here in Eldo? Just hammer a bunch of them down along the starting line so there is a definte line for people to stand behind...

I guess even wooden stakes would work...

The last two posts just caused our insurance premiums to go up 10x :flipoff2:

So I'm guessing potato guns are also out of the question.:D

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I would never want to see Jeff flopping around like a fish out of water.

We will have complete control of the starting line!

I am all for whatever kind of barricades we can put up...but nothing is better than a few volunteers to actually "police" the crowd. There are other steps being implemented as we speak. But we can't do it without the volunteers of the wheeling community.

Sheriff Tree:mr-t:

There was wood stakes last year, they disappeared.

They won't disappear this year if...even if I have to sleep next to them:D

Nobody is gonna mess with a Wookie from Jersey:D

Sheriff Tree....... walking Tall!

I would like to be a volunteer. I have a rig that runs the Hammers with a 2M radio in it. I can do vehicle recovery or whatever else you have. I had already planned to be out there for the week. Let me know.

I can stand around and yell at people with my bullhorn!!! Do you think they would want to cross me?? :D :roxy:

Roxy if you get on my shoulders with your bullhorn we would be a two person wrecking crew. We would need nobody else!

Roxy if you get on my shoulders with your bullhorn we would be a two person wrecking crew. We would need nobody else!

We're gonna need a ladder to get me up there :laughing: :roxy:

I will be there, Building a rig to get around and if it gets done on time i'm sure I could help, No radio but I can count and pour fuel. If Cal Rocs has a pit I will probably work that. I know Glenn can use the help

sent a pm phillyfan... I should be out there fairly early in the week, can probably help out some more Shaun.

I met with the Extreme wheelers for Christ yesterday, they are the guys that do recovery and feed the volunteers all those great tacos. They may need a few more recovery crew teams to help this year due to the increase in mileage. I will know more soon, but if you like doing that kind of work let SurveyBoy know. That is a tough job, but rewarding for some. If you like problem solving and recovery its the best job in the race. Full course access, and you get to wheel with a group of guys that know the hammers better then most.

You need good solid recovery equipment and experience for that job.

I was soooo itching to go this year, but I just found out when the league finals are for the wrestling team I coach. Sure as shit, the finals are up in the bay area on that Sat :( I would skip this, but we got a couple kids that will win league and probably make state.

Have fun
DIma

i have no experience for any kind of racing or anthing... i have no radio, and a moderate jeep...

im stationed abouut 1 hour from the race, and i would love to help out.

I definately have the experience to do this. I have the equipment and love that kind of thing. I have told Chris Cole that I would help with croud control at the start. After that I can do recoveries. SurveyBoy, Could you put me down if you need more recovery help? I will have my handheld 2M and mobile 2M in my rig. (both modified to handle the 150mhz range) I can be contacted any time during the race if needed.

I'll put you down Scott :)

thanks for the interest folks, gonna be generating a list and its looking good :)

I have currently volunteered to chase for a team running in the LCQ. If for some reason they're not able to get the rig ready in time, or in the unlikely event that they're not among the top contenders in the LCQ, I will certainly volunteer to help with the race.

I have a 2m radio as well.

sweet :)

Sheriff Big Tree checking in!

Just so everyone is aware...you don't need any mechanical skills, any rig or any radio to help me out at the beginning of the race.

There are two qualifications: 1) Be sober:flipoff2: 2) Be able to tell people to back up from the main drag at the starting line.

After the start everyone will have plenty of time to get to the obstacles and checkpoints well ahead of the field. So far the response has been great! Shaun and I will continue to work together to ensure that every aspect is well under control.

If you are interested in helping out at the start shoot me a pm or email as I have not been aboe to figure out this pm thing on here. My response time is normally pretty quick and I am generating a email list.

Thanks,
Chris Cole

Chris, it's nice for you to be doing this work in advance but man, I need to make sure you're not working too hard leading up to the event...how else will we win the WCMTC?

EAGLES SUCK!



:dustin:

And I'm stoked to see people stepping up for this great event! Thanks to all that have and will work on something this much fun!

:dustin:

And I'm stoked to see people stepping up for this great event! Thanks to all that have and will work on something this much fun!

Same. I will donate a bottle of Australian Rum - Bundaberg - to the volunteers raffle. I would consider it a prize, Dave may consider it a punishment!

Have no fear Dustin!!!! Wait maybe you should:grinpimp:

I found a few "vintage" New Old stock CRCA Staff T-shirts. Large, and very Red. Those will go in the pot for the Volunteer raffle as well. How the heck I have a half dozen brand new 10 year old shirts is beyond me?
I'm gonna see what I can round up in Baja as far as team shirts as well.

I dropped Dave a PM but I'm down for helping with the PA again this year if you guys need it, feel free to PM me because I'll be there no matter what. :)

I can make sure every person within 1/2 mile of the starting line can easily hear someone tell them to back the fawk up. :evil: I'm also able to help with electrical for RVs or whatever.

That is a tough job, but rewarding for some. If you like problem solving and recovery its the best job in the race.

I know nothing :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

few questions

this race starts in reno and ends in vegas correct

and is their anything a disabled person be able to help with?

Of course. There are people with disabilities in the race!

Working the merchandise table comes to mind right away. Many other opportunities exist. What are your skills?

yeah... i know what you know :D

you ARE bringing the ftoy right? :D

Of course. There are people with disabilities in the race!

I'll figure it out by the middle of January

I volunteered last year and had a great time (crowd control on Backdoor). I would like to volunteer again this year. I have a capable rig with a CB. I may have a 2m radio for the race.

Thanks,
Steven Warren

from san diego? i'm guessing 3-4 hours or so.

if you can fly to ontario airport you can typically be there in 2

or an hour if you can fly into palm springs...

Just got back from the lakebed a few hours ago and as I stared up at Fissure Mountain a tear came to my eye. You see, I spent 12 hours up on that mountain doing radio relay for Team NAXJA and Blue 52. Catching glimpses of the 52 car with 16x binos, scratchy reports from the car and pits, and screamed like a girl when Richard and Paul finally passed me at RM 74. I went out there in the dark and came back in the dark.

A tear of joy that I wouldn't have to do that shit all over again.

I gotta a Jeep and 2m rig and wouldn't mind helping out.

Hey Jeff, I dont know if you remember me, but I was at the very 1st koh before it was called koh. I had blue sammie buggy and delivered fuel to back side of course. It looks like I can make it this year. I have ham radio in truck and am a member of placer county search and rescue.

we look forward to having you guys helping us out this year :)

thanks for everyone volunteering.

we're gonna have a kick ass race because of you all.

Well, ya wanna be part of the race you say??

Here's your chance.

We are looking for volunteers for the 2010 King of the Hammers Race.

There are things going on all week that we can use help with, but the biggest is the race itself on Friday Feb 12.

We need people and Rigs to man checkpoints, road xings and other misc duties.

Race day will likely go into the evening at some areas.

you do not have to have a rig to get to any of the checkpoints or to volunteer. we can get you to any checkpoint that you would be assigned to.

If you Have a 2m race radio capable of transmitting and recieving in the 151.475mhz range and can bring it out with your rig, that would be great, please let me know.

So, if you're interested, post up here and let me know.

Thanks.

BUMP:mr-t:

I'm in if you could still abuse me. Crowd control / check points for sure. Hoping my truck is ready, but will have atleast a quad to get me around.

I would love to help out and get some experience with the race. I Absolutely need to leave saturday night or sunday morning (early) after the race though as I need to be back in PA to ship out for Basic training. I already am working out the plan for driving out and arriving on either sunday or monday before the race. I will have my tow rig but not my jeep (being built) but I should be able to get anywhere thats not in a canyon with the truck (diesel 4x4 on 35" MTRs). You can use me for road crossing/rig recovery(desert)/ transportation of anything (people, gear....)/or whatever else you see fit.

If you have any questions for me send me a PM and I will try and get back to you.

On a side note anyone that wants to hitch a ride with me to the Hammers is more than welcome.

willing to work, let me know what i can do. i am going to be down there from south lake tahoe on monday/ monday night if all goes as planned. i attended last year and would love to participate in any way this year. if i could get a pm back that would be great as i might forget to check this thread on a regular basis.

dallas

I will be there on Monday.. I can volunteer time for the UTV race.. help on LCQ..."Backdoor" crowd control, or whatever, Have a very capable rock Buggy with CB, no ham radio. Looking forward to helping out and support the sport..

look on the first page, updated with a rough printout of assignments

Looking forward to it!

#8 Will have two rigs with CB's but could use a race radio if anyone has an extra that would be great, I will return it after the race. I promise!

Thanks,
Rob

I see your keeping Amanda for yourself there huh? :smokin:

LOL, I don't know the girl, but, she seems like she can help :D

actually, the people i'm not sure where they will help the most at yet so, i just put them with me for the mean time.

and don, how many guys are you looking at for your crew :)

matzell, PM heading your way re:radios

also, be aware, this list is going to change.

so I may have you on checkpoint 1 now, but, may have a need to move you to a different checkpoint.

i'm planning on having a solid list by the end of the month.

Im in. I have ftoy 38 and if JRT can get me a radio i could work a check point. I also have 10 years Army Infanty experience for security.

we are coming out from NJ and myself and my friend want to volunteer, sign us up:smokin:

can you shoot me a pm with info on anything specific we need to have or bring with us. we can do as many days as you need also.

Shaun, I can bring 2 (possibly 3) extra 2m radios. I may be short one antenna.

Is 151.475 the same as SCORE Ops?

jsut saw that i am stationed at checkpoint 2. i will keep checking back to make sure that nothing has changed. How do we know where each checkpoint is going to be? Is everyone supposed to meet up down there and get an idea of where we are supposed to go? hopefully i will have a cb in the truck by then, but cannot promise anythiing.

hopefully i will have a cb in the truck by then, but cannot promise anything.

Note that you (or someone at your checkpoint) need a 2-meter radio that can operate on 151.475, which is not a CB.

There will be a place for you check in when you arrive at the lake bed. There will be a volunteer meeting prior to the race. I'm sure Surveyboy will post the details when they are available.

I don't think that i will be able to pull that off, but hopefully that someone else will.

Sounds good.

Shaun,
We might benifit from a couple pit captians as well, if you can find someone to fit the bill.
4 pits
duties; Make sure people are following the fuel storage and pit mat rules, fire extinguishers, and help get everyone set up in an orderly fashion. Make sure jackholes don't leave their trash, yada yada.

Last year BLM inspected the main pits during the race, I bet they will again this year.

thanks :) didn't hop online this weekend really.

I will be there no later than sunday morning. MONDAY I will be in the main tent probably for anyone that wants to check in and help for the LCQ. I will give more information on a meeting for the LCQ people later.

for the main Race, I will be in or around the main tent on THURSDAY for people to check in. we will be having a meeting for all volunteers thrusday evening in or around the main tent. time TBA later, but, look for it somewhere around 5-7 pm that night.

correct.

I'm working with Dave to get a set of 2m radios that all you need is a 12v cig lighter power source and a flat piece of metal for the antanna to stick to. we'll give them a radio to use and the have you return it at the end.

#8 Will have two rigs with CB's but could use a race radio if anyone has an extra that would be great, I will return it after the race. I promise!

Thanks,
Rob

Rob I will be @ check piont #8 with you and have both hand held and truck mounted radio. BIG JOE

Shaun,

I have not checke din for a while. I assume...which I know is a bad thing to do...that we will still have a group for the start/finish line? In particular the start more than the finish as they come back in spurts. I also have some email addys for you from earlier posts.

I don't have much of a choice. I have been dodging it for three years now. I have been to the dessert plenty of times. The main event for me will be the midget...I mean little people...tossing comp. I get to throw Dustin in the air like the cheerleader he always wanted to be:flipoff2:


How about them Eagles Dustin!!!

Chris,

I don't think we'll have a problem... some of the latter checkpoint people we can use at the start line... plus there's a group of people with don, that i don't have on that list.

I will make sure our lists jive.

Well if anyone misses a checkpoint where chris is they are f-in blind he's a big dude and I cant wait to see Dustin get tossed around will be a good time:flipoff2:

Also surveyboy, I am bringing out two volunteers have you got there names and such?

I don't think i've got their names.

I'll just put a +2 note next to your name.... come to think of it, i don't have it on the list.

i'll add it to my running list now.

Throw me into the mix as a volunteer. Should be a good time! I will have a Jeepspeed with me to get around in, but nothing that can go up into the rocks.

Scott

SurveyBoy,

Just a reminder, The Mad Metal Motorsports Crew will be there. with 2 rigs we will check in with you at the lake bed Monday AM.

Counting down the days. 33 days +or- 1 day till we arrive.

I want to volunteer for koh. I was wondering if I could join the rock brawlers in doing crowd control @ the lcq and on race day.

I'd like to volunteer. I'll be out there Monday through race day.

I'd like to volunteer.

I had planned on volunteering again this year. We had a blast last year. :smokin: I was with Blaines crew at check point 1 & the road crossing going to BFG Pit.

Anyway, count me in. I plan to arrive the weekend prior to the race & stay thru the race weekend. I've already signed up on the KOH board (no logistics access yet. PM's sent).

Joe

Forgot to tell you earlier surveyboy - I have first aid experience :laughing: It comes with the job. I've got a small kit I can bring, and I'm pretty sure I can stabilize people if needed.

Put me where you need me :flipoff2:

you guys all fully rock. I've been swamped the last few days, but, i've got good info on the locations of the checkpoints and the amount of them.

we would love to have all of you guys helping us out.

I'll be updating the list in the comming days with more info.

thanks for everything.


also, keep and eye on the next Pirate tv episode. I leaked some of the bennies that we've got planned :)

As if preferred camping and trackside seats during the race aren't enough? :grinpimp:

Thanks so much to all the volunteers!

Please consider Film Crew Transport. We still need 4 more drivers. Shaun is fine with his volunteers moving over to my team.

More info is here:

Shaun,

Have not checked in for a while even though I have been reading the thread. Figured there were already enough chiefs and didn't want to interfere.

Don't forget the starting area please!!!!!:smokin:

cool. i'm guessing you guys probably got all the help you could get already, but if you need another hand, i'm there. let me know.

SWEET!! i saw im on the list, didnt even see that till today...:smokin:

Shaun, you can count me in again!! :smokin: Just not sure what day I am getting there. Either monday sometime or tuesday morning. This is going to be EPIC!!!:grinpimp:

you going to be working with the rock brawlers or independently? :)

I'm trying to make sure i've got everyone covered. if you're on this list and don't have any means of transportation to a checkpoint, i'm wanting to make sure i've got you on a checkpoint you can get a ride too.

I've emailed some of you reguarding your checkpoints. I can't give many details about where they are at this point, because it'd give away the course.

http://pirate4x4.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=493320&stc=1&d=1263256633

lol, i've already updated the list. I forgot that Dirt fab is in the film transport.
moving 83 Vortectoy over to that spot.

I would be interested in helping at the hammers. I have raced desert for many years and been to many offroad events. I have a 94 wrangler, arbs,44,bead locks, full cage, winch, hids, go most places. I don't have a 2m only CB. I also have a buddy with similar jeep that can work with me. I will be coming out Wed. He is in China and I am waiting to see when he will be coming out. :)

Rockhoe, We'd be glad to have you.

you mind working past dark if i let you start at mid day on raceday?

No problem. What do you think you will have us do. Let me know what I might need with me. EZ-UP, Extra lighting, ect. I have GPS, Full recovery gear, ect.

ezup would be good, lighting my be helpfull, recover gear.... depends on how late you want to work. LOL

i'll pm you tomorrow with some more details

We will stay out as late as you need. I will wait to hear the details then decide what I might need. I have dragged a few guys out of the desert at night!!! Thanks

Just making sure you have me down at checkpoint f. Thanks!

i have a buddy also that is going to be there that would like to help out. he also has a rig, and a winch.his name is bmike. let me know. can't wait. counting down the days already!

I'll be around all week and able to help out doing something. Won't have a rig for shuttling people, but will have a bike for shuttling smaller equipment if needed. Could help with whatever though.

Cheers

I spoke with my buddy in china and he is coming out on Wed night. We will have two rigs and 4 people. I will be out on Wed mid day.

Shaun, I see that myself and VirgilWalker1 are on your list, and was wondering if I could ad a couple people that will definitely will be there (all hoping to work the same checkpoint).

desertPOS - Chris Schutt
VirgilWalker1 - Monte Myers
Turbrotoy - Ben Darby
FMF???(can't remember username) - Tim Stucky
The87Runner - Zach Schutt

You already have monte and I on there, just thought it'd be helpful to group us all together for ya - also, real name/screen name if it helps at all. We should all be there and checked in with you on Wed, and all have rigs capable of taking us wherever needed. Thx,

dude, that rocks.

I moved monty to your check.

sounds like you guys will have your check covered well.

thanks a ton!!

if you want to put us on cp1 we'd be more than happy to do work it:flipoff2: I hear that's the toughest checkpoint

the more beers that we drink, the more we can contribute to the recycling effort:smokin:

save an extra extra big boy one for me and I will donate to a pot for it. :D

You can buy a limited number of long sleeve event shirts, at kingofthehammers.com Right now.:grinpimp:
