Bigelow Motorsports owner and driver
Doug Bigelow took home a top 5 finish with a 4th place finish at the
Johnson Valley, CA "King of the Hammers" off road race February 22,
2008. The race featured 44 of the top four wheel drive racers in the
industry and the race was a tough one with only 26 of the 44 drivers
finishing the race. Held in southern California's Johnson Valley ORV
area the 49.2 mile race covered fast sections of the local desert
terrain along with 90% of the tough and famed rockcrawling "Hammer"
trails.
Bigelow finished with a time of 3:59:54 in his first time ever
at the Hammers and after driving 2600 miles to attend the race from
Maryland.
Bigelow drew a starting position for the race at the very back of
the pack starting in 42nd position out of 44 drivers. Commented
Bigelow, "We knew we didn't have the fastest race truck this weekend
so starting at the front and pushing the vehicle beyond its limits
wasn't the idea.
