    Spectator entrance fees at KOH - the facts

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Lots of speculation going on, but Jeff and I have worked through the details of spectator fees for the 2011 King of the Hammers.

    $10 per person for the week. Donation. Not mandatory. If you believe that it's not worth the money, or its your public land, that is your right.

    What does that $10 get you? A weeks worth of entertainment, parties, informational workshops, vendor show, port a potties, food vendors....

    Where does the $10 go? We have cemented a deal with Cal 4Wheel (California Association of 4WD Clubs) to man our information/welcome booth. CA4WDC will recieve 10% of the gross gate. It will be deposited in an existing trust fund that by their bylaws must be spent on SoCal Desert Land Use Issues. Huge thanks to Harry and Helen Baker and Steve Gardiner for making it happen. Also kudos to Jeff, because even though I'm typing this, he was the architect of this fantastic partnership.

    What do I get for my $10. You get a wristband that allows you access to Hammertown after dark and the designated spectator areas.

    If you do not pay an admission fee you will still be able to attend the vendor show during the day, but when the show stops and the bonfire starts, it is paying fans only. This includes the staging line before the race and Victory Circle after the race.


    Where does the money go? Again 10% goes to CA4WDC and SoCal land use. The rest goes to cover our costs to have you there. Lights, Port-A-Potties, Firewood, Electricity, Security, Medical, Sheriffs, BLM Rangers....

    There will be a welcome center on the way into the lake bed. You'll be able to buy a map and program as well.

    Volunteers are free if you're on the verified list. Pre-Registered media is free as well.

    Just wanted to get the facts out. See you on the lake bed.

    Sounds like a good investment. $10.00 is more than reasonable and goes to the good cause.

        Thanks Roger. A lot of thought and planning has gone into making KOH the very best it can be.

        We're looking forward to manning the "Welcome Center".

        I have a little experience with an information booth as I'v run the San Bernardino Route 66 Rendezvous' Info booth for the last 5 years, and it's estimated that event draws 500,000 spectators. And, I can guarantee that each and every one stops by my booth every year!

        Anyone wishing to volunteer for KOH welcome duties should let me know asap. I'm looking for 4-8 hour shifts anytime between Monday - Friday.

        Thanks and see you on the lakebed in February.

                    What day is the race?

                    Maybe I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, I can't find the actual race date for the KOTH. Is it on Friday Feb 11th?

                            Is there going to be an organized MJR presence at KOH this year? Willa small group be getting together and camping during the week?

                            I've volunteered to help do something but haven't heard back yet. My preliminary plans have me going up on Thursday and staying through the weekend.

                            I hoping I can find a floor of some car hauler to crash out on. I may end up in Yucca Valley at Aunt Rosalie's if nothing else presents itself. Those of you with RV's are truly blessed!
