  1. In Greek mythology, fights amongst the Titans as well as Olympians prevailed, with much of the fights in 2014 each time. We were just recently able to take the 2017 Ford Raptor to King of the Hammers in Johnson Valley, California in our very own battle of the Gods, pitting one of the most difficult off-road races worldwide compared to one of the most difficult manufacturing off-road deck. Approved, we would not be competing in the 2017 King of the Hammers (KOH), however we wished to handle the desert that the teams would certainly be handling all week. The following ideal thing to do with a landscape like Johnson Valley and a car like the 2017 Raptor is to leave Hammertown as well as check out. This year's race we would most likely to the top 5 areas that need to be seen while checking out KOH with a 2017 Ford Raptor. 5. Start Goal While this is the closest location and also part of Hammertown, it is a great location to begin and finish your day. You have the ability to see the begin of the race at the break of day and the end of the race hours later on. While heading to the beginning line, you do need to park as well as stroll, so there is very little off-roading to do, it still makes the checklist. If you had taken off to hard during the week this is also a wonderful location to wheel in your cooler as well as upload up before the platform, announcers, as well as the large Jumbotron, in addition to the unlimited supply of energy drinks just a few steps away. All the facilities are here; restrooms, food, and also vendors all are centrally located. It is where we began as well as finished our day and a fantastic area to see each year. With sufficient sitting around we wanted to see some action so we headed to the course to see the race gears in person. 4. Remote Pit 1 This location is off the ruined path of the majority of KOH goers. This was on our checklist to visit right after awakening and reaching the pit within 30 minutes of the start. The groups just undergo this pit on the initial lap, so if you arrive late, you will miss them. To access this location, you need to leave Hammertown and also head back in the direction of highway 247. When on the highway, you head towards Bessemer Mine Road and Soggy Dry Lake. The road out to Remote Pit 1 is what looks like a kept dust road. It is still regarding a 15 to 20-minute drive on Bessemer Mine Road prior to hitting the pit, so strategy appropriately. One of the nice advantages of this location is you have the ability to see the vehicles twice. They enter the pit from the starting line, leave as well as do a loop with the mountains and also desert before returning with the pit and also in the direction of Backdoor The gears enter into the pit, have a rate limitation, and afterwards get back on the gas. Along with some wonderful watching areas, the amount of viewer web traffic that goes out to this place is extremely marginal. In general, it is around a 35 to 40-minute used fleet vehicles for sale denver drive to and from Hammertown. It might be some extra driving, however it's an area worth going to. 3. Backdoor. This area is just one of the staples of KOH. It is a location that sees high traffic all week, from the Shootout to race day. If this is an area you intend to check out, see to it you arrive early, as it fills quickly.

  2. We did not reach Backdoor till after dropping in Remote Pit 1, and also the area was loaded. Parking goes to a premium and also will certainly allow you to stay clear of the soft sand to and also from the obstacle. This year's race brought groups down Backdoor as well as down the falls. In years past, this was a bottleneck with racers battling to stand up the waterfall initially. As one of the last challenges prior to heading back up the hill and also into Hammertown, it was an excellent area to see drivers pressing their gears better. Capitals along both sides provide viewers terrific seats and also a bird's eye sight. This is definitely one area you want to check out, whether it is your very first KOH or tenth. 2. Delicious chocolate Rumbling A glistening hillside off in the distance from Hammertown, Chocolate Thunder appears like it has something taking place all week, whether it gets on the day of the race or the fans trying to conquer the rocks late at night. This year, we had the ability to catch the action throughout the race as well as the evening prior to. If you have been to this area during the day, we highly advise you see it during the night. There is a various ambiance as well as really feel when the sun decreases. Race day brought something different to Delicious chocolate Thunder as racers would have to go down the high rough hill before rising the conventional path. This location is a hotspot for viewers as well as can bring crowds as big as the ones at Backdoor. There are a lot of locations to see from, including a jumbotron revealing the various other obstacles and race updates. 1. Components Unknown With a car as qualified as the Raptor, it just made sense to go out into the desert and also find areas where we would obtain a bird's-eye view of the race, however be far from every person. These locations are not for novices or an undependable car. On our experience to a couple areas, we went over tiny rock yards, up steep notches, and also with some soft sand. The terrain seemed to be ever-changing and something that we were able to adapt to with the different terrain modes of the Raptor. We did not fret when that we would certainly not be able to get back to Hammertown. The truck was put through its rates and did things that would certainly have stunned the ordinary off-roader. The journey to these areas was most definitely worth it. We had the ability to capture the racers coming down some enormous hillsides, as well as via a component of the training course lots of people never see.
