Maybe Tami and Eric will come up with the Jeep and bikes! I thought you "West Coast" guys, called them "K" barriers? Oh, maybe that's just Tom Webb and Ron Lawson....
I had no idea what they were called til yesterday where I heard "jersey blocks" twice. Whatever they are fun to run over.

And naturally, race organizer Jimmy Lewis was pleased to hear comments that this year’s King of the Motos was the toughest yet. That’s the goal, to make it the toughest off-road race in the world. “I guessed that it would take the riders 50 minutes to an hour and 10 per lap on the second loop, and that’s what they were doing, so I think that I’ve finally learned what their level is,” Lewis said. “That level requires me to use a trials bike when I set up some parts of the course. Some of the stuff was sadistic, but that is the level at which these guys want to be pushed. When people ask me, ‘Is King of the Motos tougher than a Hare and Hound or tougher than the Baja 500?’ I tell them that the King of the Motos start is tougher than those entire races put together. And then it gets worse!” Based on this Ajax, I'd say you've got as screw loose . Bravo for tackling this thing

I finished the morning loop it was even harder then last year. But I took to long to finish it, so I was told not to go out on the afternoon loop. As it was even harder and it would be dark before I could even think of a finish. Now I have to work harder getting ready for next year. I have lots of pictures and video to post One more This is my 3rd year on a old 2008 Husky Walt Smith 165 The bike is crazy good 3 years and still have not broke anything
Good job on the effort! From what you posted on your practice loop and what Jimmy says, you certainly should feel good about it.
Heres a little video I put together with Jimmy talking about how the race works. By far one of the most insane moto races I've witnessed. The last finisher walked across the line in just his pants and boots, that says something! View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RN83uBsf3n0
