2018 KOH | Power Hour | 4400 Qualifying – Jeep Proving Grounds Short Course

good afternoon and welcome to hammer town for the 2018 Nitto king of the hammers powered by Optima batteries I'm Jim Marsden and next to me is Marcia's request miles how we doing man it's been a great show it's been a lot of action all day a lot of fast times Paul Horschel is the KMC wheels hard charger for now but Power Hour is getting ready to kick off momentarily this is what the day's been building for all day long this store is about to go down it's gonna be a lot of action Jim okay here we go it's action here it's Power Hour in Hammer town in Johnson Valley California and first off the line it's Andrew McLaughlin so that is Andrew McLaughlin hard on course Andrew McLaughlin for the let's roll off-road team and these guys give absolutely everything he's stoked to be here for power hour and I believe it was it last year or two years ago in qualifying he did a full indole and AHS wheels and kept going so this guy's definitely gonna push hard yeah no stranger to drama the year before that he exploded a rock four foot tall coming in off a cliff so let's see what he's got can he be Paul Hershel [Music] so we'll see if power hour can shake things up with the KMC a hard charger reward and the ARB 40 spline high speed award so we got two things going we're gonna see Jordan Townsend has the ARB in Paul Horschel with the KMC hard charger award and this is going to build as we go through this afternoon we've got some amazing cars coming up we got Gary Farah van T senior we've got Shannon Campbell Loren Healy Levi Shirley so many fantastic names this is going to go crazy [Music] sounds like Andrew McLaughlin got up to 65 miles an hour in the ARB 40 splines section so he's really moving that ifs Jimmy's car and he takes too long what line is he makes his way up towards the Jeep arch I know he's going to throw it over here and he doesn't disappoint as he heads down push away in just absolutely launching oh wow he goes miles off course blew the corner big time with Karen way too much speed we'll see what kind of time he's got Andrew McLaughlin Jim it's a looks like he's unofficially a 153 42 for Angie McLaughlin up next is Bailey Campbell no apologies we just got confirmation of one five eight four to unofficially ninth place Andrew McLaughlin and it's Bailey Campbell next on the line this young lady never fails to impress he's got a big accident in Reno earlier this year saw her rolling multiple-- down the hill but look at this she's back in the saddle the cars back together it's a Campbell car and you know it's going to be fast we've got all three we've got all three of the camels in power our but Bailey Campbell is the only female to win a qualifying and I believe that was in Indiana so it's pretty cool to see her pushing hard like Jim said this car was hurt pretty bad at Nationals but you can't even tell now those Campbell's can really rebuild a car heavily sponsored by Monster Energy and NIT oh I don't know she's very much like to take that KMC hard charger award I should be working her sullied axle car hard out there today I see Eric Miller and his brand new double-oh-seven Miller pro sport chassis head now to get in line for power hour this is the 2018 Nitto king of the hammers powered by Optima batteries or right starting the Power Hour this is the biggest the funnest the fastest of the day we'll see what kind of times we can get out of these guys [Music] now we've got Andrew McLaughlin from let's roll off road team joining us on stage now which is lame goose helmet off and we'll have a quick chat to the big lad hey Andrew how we doing and that was uh that was a lot of fun that was a heck of a qualifying course and I just wanted to put a sub two-minute time down and not hurt the car and I just had a lot of fun and everything felt smooth everything fell fast that last jump I uh I think I kind of sent her a little far but mighta lost a second or two on that but at least I was able to find some checkered flags and make it through them cars in great shape man we're excited when you came off that last jump we thought you've grown wings you flew four miles there what were you thinking I wasn't thinking really to be honest everybody no seriously I just I had a pin and grab third and said well let's go so hey don't tell those guys behind me but do not hit that pin just a little slower faster on that last jump but don't tell them okay we'll keep that a secret unofficially north place how does that make you feel fifth row the grid yeah that's good that's where we want to be we always liked being about that first twenty stack that gives us gives of people around us where we love racing with we want to pace off of and it gives us a chance to hopefully stay out a little bit of the mess but know that's hopefully we can hold onto somewhere in that top ten twelve would be nice okay well thank you Andrew good luck for the mine Bryce and we look forward to seeing you on Friday cool thanks thanks everybody for coming out thanks man Bailey Campbell hot on course looking good looking Terry Madden hurt his back at Nationals back in them [Music] so Bailey Campbell an ARV sponsored vehicle heading into the ARB 40 spline speed section I'm Bailey Campbell looking really fast now she heads out to go around the back of the mountain and normally Terry Madden is Co driving for but his backs still a little tender so he's gonna do just the UTV's so tough break on that but Bailey Campbell's in the rocks and that straight axle shift machine really really works and still that battle continues between solid axle cars and ifs cars as we watch it come on down through the rocks really nice flow nice and steady smooth but fast there's a great little front no stand on that gr section but uh made it work sounds like Bailey got up 258 miles an hour in the RB 40 splines speed section and as we watch for Bailey Campbell to bring it on home Gary fair Avanti senior he's starting his monster you Bailey's coming in to hammer town looks like unofficially a201 point eight so Bailey Campbell with a great run they still forget that's the first time back in the car after a big accident so I think she'll be very happy with that so unofficially in 22nd position Bailey Campbell threw down a pretty solid run it's worthwhile remembering that we've got a hundred and eight starters on Friday's NIT Oh king of the hammers so pheromone is senior hot on course he comes from the world Outlaws circle track but he's transferred into this ultra four and this guy's extremely fast we'll see what kind of time old Farrah Bonnie's senior can throw down as he's in the short course section heading into the one of those sweeping right hand corners that's burned up for him heading out to the 40 spline ARB six speed section you keep watching Gary I'm gonna have a chat to this young lady here Bailey how are you did you enjoy that I did this is your first competitive run since your role in Reno how did it feel to be back in the car you know the little sketchy and the razor going down that Rockhill but I love this car and it felt we're comfortable so I'm doing good well it's great to see you back here unofficially you're sitting in 22nd at the moment how does that cool alright with that I wish I would have the lo7 motor in here but my dad downgraded me to an ls3 haha now I know that you're gonna be hunting those boys down in front of you tomorrow what's your game plan my game plan there's a lot of rocks my car is just or my plan is just to keep my car together and finish fantastic well good luck and we look forward to seeing you on Friday great job Bailey Campbell that it sounds like Guerra Fani senior just up to 75 miles an hour he was really flying out there the 40 spline ARV sects speed section at Gary Ferro fancy is giving it everything 75 mile an hour through the speed trap our fastest man so far as he flies over the final jump and makes his way to the finish line so it looks like unofficially Gary fire Avani senior with a 1 5 5 sorry I won 5 6 to 8 so a great run up next just Jessi combs and a bomber chassis driving for savvy off-road cool to see her step up a class yep embracing the guys Jessi for many years now but she stepped it up into that 4400 class she's often done 4400 start racing but usually in stock class vehicles or expect class vehicles and she's off she's also gonna be racing in the Pro Comp 4,600 stock class so that'll be a pre run for the effort Smitty peel of everyman challenge on Thursday but right now Jessi combs in that bomber chassis really making a good run and Jessi combs just takes a little tumble in the short class he was really pushing hard so tough break for Jessi combs she's upside down we'll get our Hamrick anchor out there get her ridin so it looks like we'll have a little break in action so Jim let's have a word with Gary okay that's a tough break there for Jessi but I'm sure I'm joined by a hard charger Gary for a fancy see there how you doing Gary yeah we're doing okay we're out here having a good time it's good to see you back on the track have you got any new changes to the car yeah we put a spare tire on it I saw yeah so it's that change the trim of the vehicle yeah I'm gonna change your style of driving yeah it's definitely different for me because there's a lot of weight up there and we just got to pick our lines a little better and just do it do what we can well we look forward to seeing your the track coming your historically very faster king of the hammers and we said we look forward to seeing you at the finish line well hopefully we won't break down we hope they'll either good luck my friend thank you so tough tough break for Jessi combs for savvy she's gonna have to battle her away from the back of the course I had a chat with her in the I had a chat with Jesse in the pits the other night she was pretty excited to run this procom stock class in the 4,600 car in a JK to do a little pre running for the smittybilt everyman challenge on Thursday and she was overly excited to put a bomber chassis she said she's never been anything that fast but apparently it was a little faster than she could handle yeah it's upright for Jesse and that means that Paul whole show is still aa KMC hard charger so while we have a little break in the action we're gonna get Jesse flipped over we're gonna take a quick break and be right back after this Jen ride off-road follow the off-road parts and accessories designed developed and manufactured in the USA genuine ideas engineered

Jessi combs off the course and now it's Derrick West out there giving it absolutely everything and Eric came to Europe this year to try his hand in Bailey Kohl spec class car he got soaking wet but he had a great time and he's one of our top I mean he's always been top 10 probably one of the most competitive guys out there he knows the rock so well but look at that Jimmy's chassis bouncing through the desert in that ARB 40 high speed section yeah he speaks too reliable at king of the hammers always used to making those top 10 positions he's been racing a lot he's been racing for a long time back in the XR ra days transfer totaled it over into ultra for Derek West is always a fun one to watch a crowd favorite fairly local to me out of Springfield Missouri sounds like he got up to 69 miles an hour and they are be 40 splines speed section so that's smoking through there bouncing through that little G out section Derek West is looking fast stolid accent car again and look he's super smooth and super fast as he comes around to the mountain Derek West heading up towards the Jeep arch this is quick miles this is very quick I've been looking at the clock if you can be right around that 1:45 mark in the Jeep arch you're doing good and he beat that by a couple seconds so Derek West is throwing down a smoke and run looks like unofficially Derek West should be right around a 150 5:05 Derek West throwing down a great great run on that straight axle Jimmy Carr and that puts him in our top 10 he'll be very happy with that as Josh baile lines up on the line unofficially sixth place Derek West with the 155 great great run and his Josh Bartlett out lining up in that Miller Pro chassis Josh isn't even racing a couple of years and he just doesn't fail to impress he's always at the pointy end every single race Josh Bleiler getting ready to head out and that Miller Pro chassis Big B Motorsports number 41 hot on Coors I believe last year and the king of the hammers he got six play so he's definitely a one to watch he's a fun guy he's quick new to the sport but boy he can really run hard I watch your spot up hauls it around the track we'll have a quick chat to Derek Derek how you doing good how does it feel out there it's good it's rough I felt like I was pretty fast and most of it my cars a little slower in some of the corners some of these guys can reel those berms out they're pretty hard and I don't know if it's me or my car or what but I'm just not that guy to do that so that's a little time there but I was pretty happy with my time overall well you're in sixth place which is a pretty good run for a southern accent car on that kind of course yeah so you know starting the top 15 or something that's kind of where I wanted to be so you know hopefully I'll

something out there and practice so they don't qualify Fairplay now we were chatting earlier in the weekend you were telling me that you're really happy with the car even made any changes no major changes cars pretty much where was in Reno now it was really quick and Reno so do you think you can keep that pace out here this week I think so you know this race if you push it too hard I think this

of this year's race you're gonna be there looking forward to a good luck Doug Jackson and we see on the start line the 2018 it's a king of the hammers power bi Optima batteries on course number 44 72

I'm joined on stage now by none other than Levi Shirley Levi how we doing I doing a lot better now my car runs so what's it like out there it looks like the coast is getting really caught up the course is ridiculous you know from where we pre ran this morning to where it is now the lines have totally changed so that's kind what's cool about ultra for racing you kind of have to adapt you're not gonna have like a set course you know we're not we're not groomed we're not pansies we we race with what we're dealing with have you got any you know this race is going to be very different this year you're in a single-seat car and what happens if you got a puncher this year there's no tire balls have you planned for this I'm not worried about I got Max's tires I like that answer my friend good work right well good luck Levi we look forward to seeing you on the start line on Friday cool thank you guys thank you everyone for your support grace Tov Levi surely everyone Jason sure is still hot on course had a little bit of a hiccup in the rock section that'll cost him a second or two but he will definitely be pushing all the way through till the end sounds like he got up to 71 miles an hour in the ARB 40 spline speed six and so Jason sheer pushing the limits all the way into hammer town heading into the Jeep arch as we speak Jim Cheryl he's taking all kinds of funky lines trying to save a second two wheels as he comes through the jeep arch amazing stuff here Jason sheer is smokin he always wants that KMC hard charger award number 76 Jason Shearer with an unofficial time of 1 for 7 to 3 so just under a second unofficially second place holy cow Jason shears pushing to the limits but appalled Horschel still has it with a 146 41 I will get him on stage with our current KMC hard charger is still Paul but we still got some more big guns to come yet we still got Lauren Haley Shannon Campbell and Eric Miller but look we do have Lauren Hylian the red dragon he did have a brand new car built but had some motor issues so we'll see what kind of time former King Loren Healy number 67 Nitto Tire sponsored machine now Lauren Hayley wasn't expecting to be driving this car this week they built a brand spanking new IFS car two-seater big engine all of the toys unfortunately the motor went bang so he's back in red dragon now red dragon hasn't historically been that great at king of the hammers but he's won everything else what do you think his chances are miles well it depends on his driving style he is fast we know that he's had some bad runs here lately but he is a two-time teen so if he has a perfect day it could be very possible on the top of the box we'll have to see but that Jimmy chassis red dragon really looking smooth or that ARB 40 splines section [Music] but Lauren Healy's still looking smooth out there hitting that rock section okay with Jason's cut Jason sure as cars joined us on stage unfortunately Jason hasn't he's literally finished his qualifying jumped out of his car just hit another car and flying to the airport to go and pick up his wife now that's commitment Loren Healy in the 40 spline ARB section got up to 73 miles an hour so he's definitely pushing the red dragon to the limits in that mbrp sponsored machine love watching Loren Healy Drive he's so committed no quarter given in any corner in his Gucci part are two wheels once again as he makes his way down fantastic stuff here from the big guy absolutely launching that tabletop flat landing it Loren Healy pushing it all the way to the end looks like Lauren Hill he's gonna have an unofficial time of one four eight four six so a great great run unofficially third place Loren Healy and the red dragon in his jimmies machine but up next Randy's lost in another former king Power Hour holy cow Jim this is great Randy of course a two-time King he we saw his brother qualified earlier his brother put down a blistering time at the LCQ let's see what Randy can do I'm sure he would like to beat Mike and this year is a lot longer with a lot more rock trail so historically Randy Slauson does great on these kinds of races so he's he's excited to put that bomber chassis hopefully on the podium looks like Lauryn Hill he's pulling up on stage [Music] Randy slauson's still on the infield pushing hard I don't join onstage now by none other than little Loren Healy Lauren how you doing I'm good then now that we've qualified and should be able to hold on to a top 10 for sure so I'm happy fantastic we look really fast out there but this wasn't the car as expected to see you in what's been happening um well I would say there was a good chance this is a car you are gonna see me in a new car standard new car Blues Koh Lhasa timing gear so we're racing the tried and true things here Wow right now it's going back to a single seater we've got no tire balls this year have you got a strategy for what happens if you get a puncher out there I've got the best tires out there so I'm not worried about it now that's a game fighting to it we heard the same from Levi surely so we wish you all the very best you're second place provisionally how does that make you feel I'm second right now yeah there's still fast guys to go so you know that'd be awesome if I could hang on to that behind Jason but you know my my goal is always to be in the top ten if I can if I'm up in the top five rows then I'm always happy with qualifying that's aster we wish you luck Lauren Haley and we look forward to seeing you a Friday afternoon thanks guys thanks everybody for coming great run Loren Healy and it sounds like Randy Slauson got off to 72 miles an hour in a RB 40 spline speed section so he's got a great great run to going in that solid axle bomber chassis looks like unofficially Randy Slauson is gonna have a time of one five zero one seven so a great great run out of that solid axle up next is number 21 former king number 21 Eric Miller sounds like Randy's Slauson was in sixth place unofficially so a great run and that solid axle bomber machine and Eric Miller is off and that brand new car of his looking great Miller Motorsports run those Nitto tires another solid axle guy running out front we'll see what kind of time you can throw down Jim Eric Miller looking blisteringly fast in this brand-new car basically exactly the same as last year's car just all shiny and new it's amazing how he can just jump from one car to the other and still be blisteringly fast as he makes his way up towards the ARB 40 slide speed trap but so far Paul Horschel still has that KMC hard-charger award and he was not in power hours so it still shows all these guys are fast we thought we got a few runners left a pool her shoe is still our KMC hard charger with a 146 94 as we wait for Randy Slauson to join us on stage Eric Miller still pushing hard that rock section he loves the solid axle he said he's never going away from that and he's really making it work good hitting a little G out section get a little bit of airtime he got off 266 miles an hour in a ARB 40 splines speed section so Eric's still pushing hard all the way to the end we've had a great run during power hour it's been fun it's been fast it's shaking things up Eric Miller heading into the Jeep arch coming on down into hammer time okay well I'm joined on stage now by two-time King Randy Slauson Randy how was it out there it's pretty rough we Josh aired up in us on this thing so I wanted to see if we could squeeze a few extra ponies out of it and the first three times I'm wide open throttle they just bobbling cut out then towards the end it finally cleared up and actually was doing work anyway that was a little bit unnerving but car worked great chalk tune is amazing love these BFT tires definitely got us up that hill and around the mountain pretty timely well I could tell you beat your brother Mike by two seconds and you're currently in sixth place how's that not bad I wanted to be top ten so I pushed me right in the running fantastic well good luck for Friday and we look forward to seeing you on the start line thanks so much great run Randy Slauson but hot on course we have none other of last year's series championship Waylon Campbell and that Monster Energy Nitto powered machine running his dad's old single CIFS car they've been busy this week they're racing all three cars in the big race for the 2018 Nitto king of the hammers powered by Optima batteries but they'll also be running in the kam UTV race tomorrow gonna be a busy fun week for the

an hour in the ARB 40 splines speed section Whalen Campbell off to a great start I got join those states now my Eric Miller Eric how did it go out there with the new car pretty good run I mean we've only got maybe 100 miles on this car we still have some stuff to do to even make it race I mean that's how new it is we built in three weeks again this this is January so straight out of the box you

the only three-time Nidoking of the whammer's champion he took a little tumble daring free running and they've been working on thing all day it's a little tweaked in the back but they got everything put together they've been thrashing on that Shannon Campbell is not one to let out it's the amazing thing about ultra forecasters we wash Shannon Campbell three-time King launching for the line closing this Power Hour can he be Paul Herschel look at the commitment there as he works his way to the first Bend Paul Herschel of course our KMC hard charger currently with a 146 94 but this is Shannon Campbell if anyone can pull a miracle out the back it's Shannon and again Shannon Campbell's our only three-time King so we'll see if he can be a three or do it again for his fourth time back to back last year it was Shannon Campbell one Waylon Campbell - he's gonna be pushing hard all the way to the end again we are about to round out Power Hour for the 2018 NIT Oh king of the hammers powered by Optima batteries he's getting tough out there of course there's the Sun going down the shadows being created on side the course I believe she'd on hard I believe Shannon has that 4040 spine ARB in his car as we speak so it's cool to see him really throwing it down for those guys and look how fast he's in that desert just absolutely sailing through there he's car control his second to none as he makes his way around the bottom of the mountain heading up towards the cheap arch our final car in qualifying today what can he do all right well Shannon Campbell's coming through the jeep arch as we speak heading into hammer town absolutely launching down that rock section he's gonna have a blistering speed this is gonna be a top five top ten for sure looks like unofficially Shannon

about particular now okay unofficially you're a sixth place are you happy with that yeah that's good I didn't there's a lot of guys that are faster than agency better so it'd be good if I just follow them and take advantage of me along the way it's a very long race I mean you're a single-seater car we've been talking to a few people about this are you worried about tire attrition now we don't have tire balls middle built it's a new town and I'm pretty confident that it's good and confident enough that I don't have a spare so hopefully it's real good wow that's very brave indeed what might we

cool thing for you guys to step up and do they had a lot of fast runs out there didn't they today Chris yeah we couldn't track Paul down to get him up on stage he was out pretty running a little bit
