The 5th annual King of the Hammers in Johnson Valley was the largest turnout in the events history.&nbsp; The race was broadcast live on <a href="http://www.pirate4x4.com">Pirate4x4</a> so if you couldnt be there in person you could watch from anywhere around the world.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Arriving a week before the race to test and get ready for the harsh terrain provided by Johnson Valley.&nbsp; BCC sponsored 2 rigs, # 313 Dustyn Friesen with co-driver Jaime Colbert and # 403 Kris Fraser with co-driver Tommy Hunter. Team #403 was prequalified for the race while team #313 had to battle their way through LCQ (Last Chance Qualifier) just to get a spot on the start line, he cleaned the backdoor obstacle and qualified with time to spare. &nbsp; Starting in the middle of the pack 43rd and 44th respectivley, both teams were great off the start line at 8am.&nbsp; This race is a war of attrition for both drivers physically and their rigs.&nbsp; In the first lap # 313 was consistently passing other racers through the rocks and desert and were sitting near the front of the pack,&nbsp; Kris in #403 was taking it easy and wound up having motor issues that would eventually take him out of the race.&nbsp; Dustyn in #313 took a hard roll on the last lap of backdoor which took out a tranny cooler and this would be the end of their race.&nbsp; Both teams gave it everything until they couldn't go anymore and we will be back next year looking for a win.</p> <p><img src="http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv266/mattnieman/dustyn.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>Dustyn Friesen driving his LS3 powered #313 buggy through the desert.&nbsp; BCC fully built this Ultra4 Buggy from scratch.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><p>Posted in: <a href="http://www.bigcountrycustoms.com/news/categoryevents">Events</a>, <a href="http://www.bigcountrycustoms.com/news/categorytrucks">Trucks</a></p>
