Yep, you read that right, David Cole just released the dates for 2023 King of the Hammers. Here's the original statement:
Hammerking Productions is thrilled to announce the dates for the 17th Annual King of the Hammers, which will be held in Johnson Valley, California, Thursday, February 2 through Saturday, February 11, 2023. The
10-day event will consist of multiple classes of racing, vendors and entertainment fans have come to know and love. Additional details and schedules will be released as they are developed and the event nears.

Dave Cole, owner of KOH, along with President Ryan Thomas, have been building a staff we are excited to forge forward into KOH 2023 with. We have taken what we learned last year and are using that to improve and grow individual departments, but then bringing the pieces together as a whole ensuring they fit for an improved end-product or system. The staff are working as a team to create simplicity in the usability for the end user: the partner, racer, fan, vendor, crew...everyone, across the board for all experiences at King of the Hammers.

Hopefully this is the year I can make the cross country journey happen with the crawler in tow. Being out there rifles for the past 5 years sucks.

Also, what happened to GAS? I was really looking forward to a west coast short course series.

GAS is still happening in the Victorville/San Bernadino area from what I know. Here's the race schedule:
SCHEDULE | GAS | Great American Short Course | Racing
 
That it's actually scheduled?:confused:

Being it's in the Union People's Socialist Republic of Cally-fornia; I'm surprised it hasn't been shut down already. 🤷‍♂️:flipoff2:
No joke. Which is why I’m making it happen this year before it gets shut down.

Where’s the best place to try to join in with a group to share an rv and whatnot rather than go alone. Hell if any teams need help I’d be willing

Helping out with a team and hoping for the floor of thier race trailer would be a good idea. Getting a spot in an rv might me a lot harder.

Sharing an rv I was meaning where to post here or book of faces etc to find some others to group up with sharing a rv expense. I’d mostly do the help a team just to have a group of people to hang with. Outdoor shower and a tent on the trailer are fine for me
 
Right now it’s me and one other buddy. Depending on camper I’m thinking 3-5 people total. Prepay for honey wagon and water refill services daily. So we can shower and shit at will
 
that's still good at the $25 bucks.

I just wasn't aware of a limited number of "tickets". Unless that is for hammertown specifically.

It should be, but not enough to get the email.
 
I’ve been going every year for the past 9 years. I’ve been a spectator, volunteer, recovery on race days, pit crew for my buddy racing the past couple years. I’ve gotten to experience it from many different angles. 2023 may be the first year my buddies and I choose to opt out of going. We may go the week after KOH. The idiot to hardcore enthusiast ratio has skyrocketed the past 2 years. Almost experienced theft on the lakebed for the first time and just too many fucking morons showing up.

We go back and forth, do we go the week before KOH and watch it grow or show up after the party.
