2011 Griffin King of the Hammers Official Starting Order Draw Announced

Greg Adler has a lot to celebrate in 2011, not only is his company 4 Wheel Parts observing 50 years in the 4 wheel drive parts and accessories business, the CEO and closed course off-road racer has also drawn the pole position for the 5th running of the Griffin Radiator King of the Hammers (KOH), slated for February 11, 2011. 4WP, the title sponsor for the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ), played host to the KOH drawing party on January 4th at its Compton Headquarters, and Adler joked with Ultra4 Series Official Exhaust Dynomax driver, Bob Willis, about drawing the polar opposite, last starting position at 100.

The top 20 starting spots are stacked with the heavy hitters of Ultra4 Racing, with David Smiley, the winner of the Badlands qualifier, and Stan Haynes, 2nd at Badlands, in a rematch in the 19th and 20th spot. Kevin Sacalas, 2009 Ultra4 Vegas to Reno winner and reigning Ultra4 Grand Slam Champion, and “King” Loren Healy, SMORR Qualifier winner Lucas Murphy, RCQ winner Derek West will all be set up for a dual of event winners in the Top 20. Consistent Rocksports finisher Roger Lovell, Formula 4x4 Nation Champion Ragnar Robertsson from Iceland, 2009 Rock-crawling and Rock-racing Champion Brad Lovell, who missed the 2010 KOH win by 28 seconds, will be an exciting match up of teams that possess the ability to win KOH. Lastly, Australian Ultra4 racer Ben Napier, who is fresh off a third place finish in the Stampede, and Rocksports icon Tracy Jordan join Adler in the Top 20.
To mix up the field even further, the 4 fastest Last Chance Qualifiers will run in the top 20. No one knows who will grab these spots, but the LCQ field includes a two-time podium winner at KOH Casey Currie, experienced KOH racer Greg Hussey, XRRA’s Brian Shirley, Joey Archuleta and Rusty Bray round out an extremely fast field of LCQ participants.

The 2011 Griffin King of the Hammers will take place from Feb 6th-11th and will feature a full week of race action. The 4 Wheel Parts LCQ will split racing between two days on Tuesday, Feb 8th and Wednesday, Feb 9th. A giant interactive vendor show will be running the entire week, and will be the highlight of the Thursday, Feb 10th contingency. Ultra4 racecars will be on display for technical inspection the entire day. In addition, Thursday will emphasize the Pitbull UTV race on a 40-mile course. KOH features a full week of action, from seminars, to the Raceline Show and Shine, to the Blue Ribbon Coalition Most Prepared Rig contest, to enjoyment of the Johnson Valley trails. Meet the drivers, see the newest 4 wheel drive related products, and see some of the most exciting off-road racing on the planet from multiple safe spectator viewing areas.

Not really too sure what y'all are saying, so I'm gonna post some more pics. Gotta tab the rear firewall today, then finish off covering the cell.

Also gonna build a new rear bumper/tire carrier that gives us a little less departure angle, and strong enough to make sure it won't fold in case someone behind us wants to be in front of us
