King of the Hammers Nails Kick-Off Race
King of the Hammers returned to Johnson Valley, California for a week of racing, featuring the largest desert racing purse: $270,000. That was doled out to winners in T1, T2, B1, B2, B3, and Class 11 vehicles.
T1, the unlimited desert racing truck class, was won by Bryce Menzies, piloting the Mason Motorsports 4WD truck. Menzies qualified first for Sunday’s Toyo Desert Challenge, leading from flag-to-flag in his Red Bull/Toyo Tires machine, netting $50,00o for his efforts. Cameron Steele finished second, only 14 seconds ahead of Kyle Jergensen.
Running sealed crate engines with horsepower limitations, the top finishers in T2 still beat the B1 buggies, due to their increased rear-wheel travel. Dustin Grabowski outran Pierce Herbst and Brad Lovell to take home $10,000 and the class win.
