DoveTail96 · 11-09-2007, 04:01 PM

I will be there competing in the King of the Hammers. Where do I sign up?

EarlKann · 11-09-2007, 04:05 PM

http://www.kingofthehammers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7

Are you on that list?

jpfrk2001 · 11-09-2007, 05:33 PM

I think the list is already done and locked in.

DoveTail96 · 11-09-2007, 07:56 PM

My name is Larry Gipson and I am on the list. Not sure how that happened but it did. Now they have a KOH forum which is pretty cool

Beat95YJ · 11-09-2007, 08:01 PM

Wow. I would have thought the entry would have been more limited. The First 5 across the lakebed have a huge advantage. Whoever hits the first trail first is the favorite.

zcarczar · 11-09-2007, 08:49 PM

So is the competitor list locked in?

DoveTail96 · 11-09-2007, 10:22 PM

Yea its an invite only race and very limited. I got lucky and did and said the right things to the right people. Guess maybe I can drive. That helps.

megatoy66 · 11-10-2007, 12:17 AM

Good luck larry, everyone needs a dream.

My advice...... 1.) rent fight club
2.) free up your credit card balance
3.) thank CRAWL magazine for voting you in as a dark horse long shot. ( this is gonna make a heck of a story)

4.) make some friends that know the Hammers
5.) bring beer money

Good luck Larry. You see guys KOH is not all about the big names in the sport. Larry is like Charlie from Willy Wonka. He some how won a golden ticket, hope the umpa lumpa's don't get him.

"My advice...... 1.) rent fight club"
and remember rule number 1

DoveTail96 · 11-12-2007, 08:50 AM

So is it that feeling you get in traffic when you want to drive over that little f#$$$ import car with the squid driving or that g$% Damn SOB in the mini van that you want to drive your diesel truck over the top of? So you're tellin me that you can act on that feeling in the KOH??? I always wanted to jump over somebody like the Fast and Furious #2..

Jeff Knoll · 11-12-2007, 09:14 AM

I think Tom summed it up best.

Talk is cheap, but entertaining none the less.

Oh and since its your first night at Fight club..... You have to fight!

Good luck kid your playing in the majors. You'll get no sympathy from KOH.
"race ops do you copy?"
"go ahead this is race ops"
"Theres a kid down here at race mile 3 rolled up in a ball, sucking his thumb crying for his Mom, he keeps saying something about Robby Gordon"

DoveTail96 · 11-12-2007, 10:17 AM

I think we all are going to battle and party like rockstars and it will be the time of our lives till the next year..I bet the off race stuff is going to be just as good trying to do crazy lines and jumping shit.. Some good ass video for the KOH VIDEO! even if you win may not mean you get the most video coverage. Entertainment can be found in many places including Seattle

chvyhs · 11-12-2007, 11:55 AM

Is there going to be a F Toy class or is it just one open class?

DoveTail96 · 11-12-2007, 12:10 PM

One big f'n free frawl from what I gather. Wheel to Wheel. I think thirty second intervals between trucks. My question is how are they picking who starts first? i WILL go second if nobody minds since I have never raced rocks in my life and never been to the Hammers.

Longfield · 11-12-2007, 12:38 PM

Really??? You,ve never been to the hammers? Wow that's like taking a knife to a Gunfight!!

DoveTail96 · 11-12-2007, 01:31 PM

Yea Bobby I have never been and you and i need to talk about maybe a partnership. i am sorry I haven't gotten out there to visit you again. when are you leaving? I will make it a point to get there. My truck just went to Those guys Customs last Thursday and I will be talking with you.. YES TIM I will be bringing Crashy and I think he had his snipped after he had his last kid so he can lend his to me and I will have 4 then. Should be covered to get it done! If I even top 20 the thing I would be crazy excited. Well if I finish I will be too..

Trying to figure out what your saying makes my head hurt...

samota87 · 11-12-2007, 06:49 PM

What all is going to be done to your truck / axles / tranny / case ?????? Do you have any sponsors lined up to help out also?

DoveTail96 · 11-13-2007, 08:24 AM

I am going to those guys customs tonight I think to figure it all out. I have spidertrax axles lined up with a LS1 engine to be installed. Howe Hydro steering. Pitbull 37" tires "wheels unknown" Racerx GPS systems. PRP seats. Just about everything I will need with the exception of wheels and a few other things right now. two months to get er done.

Longfield · 11-13-2007, 08:37 AM
