King of the Hammers

Rubicon Express had a great time out at King of the Hammers 2010. When we arrived at the lake bed on Monday afternoon none of us could believe our eyes! There were thousands of trailers, Jeeps, and all types of off-road rigs already there and out enjoying the unique terrain of Johnson Valley. We spent Tuesday exploring the race course and talking with the racers and the various vendors that were setting up. Wednesday was set up for us and then we tracked down our sponsored driver Kevin Yoder and got a chance to hear about his race strategies and snap a few candid pics. Thursday the vendor show started and it was great to see all of the spectators coming through to check out the various products and deals that were being offered.  The early spring weather in the valley was about as good as you could hope for on Friday the day of the race, it felt like an early summer day with clear skies and warm temperatures.  Congrats to all the finishing racers and especially to our own Kevin Yoder starting at 51st position and finishing 13th; Kevin stopped out in the middle of the race to help a vehicle get righted after a harsh roll-over- what a guy! Great job Kevin and thanks for supporting Rubicon Express out at the 2010 King of the Hammers!  We had a great time out at the event getting a chance to talk with so many people, hanging out in the beauty of the valley, and watching the insanity of the race in action.Big thanks go out to all that supported KOH and Rubicon Express this year and we will be looking forward to seeing you all out there for 2011.
