4-WHEEL JAMBOREE NATIONALS AT LIMA AND SPRINGFIELD TO HOST QUALIFIERS FOR 2014 KING OF THE HAMMERS

(Indianapolis) Two events on the Lucas Oil 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals Series will host qualifiers for the 2014 King of the Hammers; the toughest one-day off-road race combining extreme rock crawling with high-speed desert racing.  The invitation-only qualifying races will be held at the 28th Annual Spring 4-Wheel Jamboree National at the Allen County Fairgrounds in Lima, OH on May 17-19, 2013 and at the 16th Annual O’Reilly Auto Parts Ozark 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds in Springfield, MO on June 22 and 23, 2013.  At the Jamborees, the racers will be competing in ULTRA4 vehicles on a specially designed course in the infield as part of the General Tire Monster Truck Thunder Drags® and Mickey Thompson Tough Truck Challenge® competition.  The races will be official qualifiers for the 2014 King of the Hammers event which is scheduled for February, 2014 in Johnson Valley, CA.

 

ULTRA4 vehicles are unlimited-powerplant 4-wheel drives, capable of competing in multiple racing disciplines such as extreme rock crawling, high-speed desert racing, and short course competitions.  Some of the vehicles have turbos and superchargers and the tire sizes range from 35” to 42”.  ULTRA4 racing began in 2007 with a dozen friends competing for bragging rights.  Now more than 350 cars compete nationally and internationally.

 

King of the Hammers consists of an entire week of competitive events centered at a makeshift desert village called “Hammertown”.  Over 30,000 people gather to watch the grueling competition set against the backdrop of the dramatic desert terrain.

 

Mike Moore, president of The Promotion Company – Family Events; producers of the Lucas Oil 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals Series said: “We think that the ULTRA4’s coming to qualify for the King of the Hammers will be a hit with our 4-Wheel Jamboree fans.  Combining these amazing high-power machines with our Monster Trucks and Tough Trucks will be an ultimate demonstration of 4x4 performance.  Since we began producing the Lucas Oil Off-Road Expo in California, we’ve seen up-close the appeal of ULTRA4’s -- a huge draw at that show.  We can’t wait to stage these races at two of our Jambos.”

TEAM BIGFOOT LANDS WITH NEW WORLD RECORD JUMP DURING O'REILLY AUTO PARTS 4-WHEEL JAMBOREE IN INDY!

For Sale Section?

Posted by FlamedOutF250 on February 20, 2013 at 5:30pm 7 Comments

I think we should start up a for sale area, any ideas if that would be okay? Anyone else want a section to sell and buy  parts, tires wheels, and 4x4  trucks/jeeps  ect, also you could ask for things your looking to buy. what do you all think? Not sure  if this would be allowed , but one would think so, I know there is some activity on here , would be nice to help each other out on parts  and other things we would like to buy or sell off.
