It's already closing in on us, KOH 2015 will be here before we know it! I just thought I would get the party started 3 months in advance, by doing a recap of last years event by sharing a link. If you have not had a chance to see the full blown KOH 2014 movie, it's available on iTunes for purchase or rental. If this Motorsports documentary does not excite the off-roader inside you, you need to sell your jeep.....

Hope to see you guys out at the races in February on the lake bed in Johnson Valley

Not sure, maybe you can get something going with Mel. I think he is going to do some prerunning with Dave R. in Dave's brand new "Jimmy's 4x4" tube buggie. I am out of the pre-running game this season. I had to rework my schedule so I can attend KOH in February, I just got back from being overseas yesterday, and I am only at home until Nov 30th and then redeploying until the end of January just so I can co-drive with Mel. KOH is actually as important to me as my work, I try everything in my power to make the race.

Well, even though it is the desert southwest, it does get really f'ing cold out there at night. It is not uncommon to have temps easily slide into the mid 20's through the night and then when you combine that with the temps that can get into the mid 60's to low 70's through the day, the 40 degree temperature shift from day to night makes it rough to deal with. There is always a chance of rain, and you can see the snow covered peaks of Big Bear mountain across the valley. Not many people are wearing shorts at KOH....

Even if you only come out for the final race day on Friday, it really is a pretty cool to be a part of.

Luckily for you KOH is in a new year, which resets my allotted number of yearly PB&J sandwiches. Vegas to Reno had me max out my limit of 5 PB&J's all in one day, and at one pit stop.

Really? I was thinking about sleeping in the jeep this year. Can't be any colder that the kickoff run a few years ago when it was 9 degrees. :idontknow:

It's the wind that gets ya. That combined with the cold that turned my old 07 JKU into an icebox. I actually love to sleep in the cold, but I froze my ass off. A tent would keep that cold under draft from happening and the earth would insulate you a little bit at least.
