We had a cold start this morning temp was 29 degrees when I got up this morning early to open the park and then head for Johnson Valley and the King of the Hammers Race.

The Course - 3 laps the winner took 6.3 hours to finish.
Big crowd at Chocolate Thunder the canyon where I usually go to watch...
For some reason this year they reversed the track through the Chocolate Thunder Canyon, so I was a little upset as the spot we normally view from was now the end of the canyon rather than the beginning and the entrance through the rocks was by passed this year, so not nearly as exciting to watch...wish we would have know, maybe could have picked another spot to view from, sadly with more and more people getting a good spot almost requires going the night before and nailing a spot down before the crowd.
I managed a few good pictures...
The cars are amazing and an engineering marvel...
That's not a stock Jeep under there...
