The list is in and Pirate4x4.com has it for you first! Congrats to this world class list of drivers. Below the list of 2009 KOH Drivers, you will see a list of "Last Chance Qualifier Teams". These lucky folks have been invited to a Last Chance Qualifier race that will be held in the "Back Door" area of Johnson Valley the day before the race. Our sources tell us it will be a 2 mile loop starting in or near the canyon to Back Door, and will go all the way up the trail and loop back around to where you started. It should provide for some insane action and carnage. GOOD LUCK to the LCQ Teams!!!

About King of the Hammers

KOH is the only race of its kind. The event will take place on February 27, 2009, and is a now a spectator friendly event! The event will be part rock race, and part desert race. Race teams will start at 30 second intervals from Means Dry Lake bed, and will navigate through the desert on a set race course to their first rock course. As of today, the official course has not been released, and will not going to be released until race week in February. We speculate much more desert in '09, and approximately 7 Johnson Valley trails (aka: Hammer Trails - Sledgehammer, Jackhammer, Wrecking Ball, etc) to make up the course. There are going to be approximately 75 competitors in this race, from all different disciplines of racing.

New for '09 will also be a "Last Chance Qualifier". Held the day before the race near the infamous "Back Door" trail, it will be a 2 mile balls-out qualifying race for those that did not make the original cut. The carnage and action should be INSANE at the LCQ!

Who will win? What will it take? Stay tuned to Pirate4x4, and we'll let you know!
