KOH at Rausch

For Immediate Release:

Rausch Creek Off-Road Park will host the first regional qualifier for the 2010 King of the Hammers. The endurance race will be held Friday May 15th, 2009 at the Tremont, PA motorsports facility.

"We are looking forward to showcasing our terrain and providing an opportunity for the racers to go fast on the East Coast", said Bruce Shallis, one of the park's co-owners.

Jeff Knoll of Hammerking Productions added, "The partnership with Rausch Creek allows us to bring our unique style of endurance racing to a whole new audience and gives racers from across the country an opportunity to qualify into the 2010 race."

The top 10 finishers at Rausch Creek will earn automatic entry into the 2010 running of KOH, "The Ultimate Desert Race".

The King of the Hammers, first run in 2007, is a blend of the most extreme off-road racing disciplines. Set in Johnson Valley, CA (Home of the Hammer Trail system), racers navigate open desert, dangerous hill climbs, narrow ridges, and some of the most extreme rock canyons in the country.

Rausch Creek Off-Road Park, founded in 2003 provides 1,700 acres of challenging terrain, offering trails from mild dirt roads to near vertical rock canyons. It is open year round for patrons to enjoy all it has to offer.

The race, the first of several KOH qualifying opportunities, will be at least 50 miles of grueling rock and trails connected by long stretches of high speed wheel to wheel racing.

Stay tuned for more information as the live coverage of the 2009 KOH on 2/27/09 at 8:00 AM PST.
