GenRight's King of The Hammers Prep

#1
We're just more than 6 weeks out from KoH. We have been working on our new car for months and it's finally coming together. It's really amazing to see the level of detail that goes into an Ultra4 car. These things have to do triple digits across the desert and tackle the hardest trails Johnson Valley has to offer. I'll try to highlight some of those details in this thread going forward.

Historically, Tony's strength has been in his preparation. He's behind this year. I know he would have loved to have had the car done months ago so he could be out testing and prerunning. The decision to build a new car was made late and the whole cycle has been off.

here's some pics from the car's debut at SEMA:

You can see some of the rear suspension here:

So here are a few pics of where we're at now.

This is the Head Wizard Darren. I don't think anyone wants to count how many hours he has in on this new car!

Stay tuned for more updates. I know I'm ready to get out to the lakebed!
