Oct 10, 2009: GenRight Off-Road is the Official Suspension System of the 2010 Griffin King of the Hammer’s.
The King of the Hammer’s is an off-road race in the desert of Johnson Valley, CA and is arguably the most challenging one day race in the world (held on February 12th, 2010). The course is incredibly tough because it integrates open desert racing with the worlds toughest rock crawling trails! The 5-day event (Feb 9-13) is held on Means Dry Lake bed and will be attended by a “who's-who” in off-road speed racers and rock crawling competitors. In addition, every print magazine in the industry, and filmed from the ground and helicopter for a DVD and television. Last year 25,000 people watched the race in person and countless more via live internet updates.
We believe by running our “Jeep” in this years race, we will be setting ourselves apart from almost every other entrant! We intend to prove that the Jeep platform equipped with our suspension and other protection components, can compete and successfully finish in this grueling race. Tony Pellegrino, GenRight’s owner, will be driving the GenRight Jeep in the race and be the face of GenRight to the media.
GenRight will be out at the Hammers to pre-run and tune the Jeep starting November 16th.
Come out to watch the Red GenRight Jeep tear up famous trails like Sledgehammer & Outer Limits!
