I normally don't do this but..... <BR> <BR>A friend of mine is a finalist in the Pirate 4x4 King of Hammers essay contest and I am asking all my Wakeworld brother-in to help him out. You ask What is the King of the Hammers contest, well its the chance to drive a fully modified rock racer in one the most challenging off-road races in America. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tW2tHpkmn0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tW2tHpkmn0</a> <BR> <BR>BellyDoc(Jon) has been selected as one of the five finalists in the essay contest to actually get the chance to drive the buggy below and to have the full pro team support of MFS behind him. <BR><a href="http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa153/camo_p4x4/camo%20rig%20III/Camo%20rig%20III%20x%202/f320ecb1.jpg" target="_blank">http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa153/camo_p4x4/camo%20rig%20III/Camo%20rig%20III%20x%202/f320ecb1.jpg</a> <BR><a href="http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa153/camo_p4x4/camo%20rig%20III/Camo%20rig%20III%20x%202/436f549c.jpg" target="_blank">http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa153/camo_p4x4/camo%20rig%20III/Camo%20rig%20III%20x%202/436f549c.jpg</a> <BR> <BR>BellyDoc has been working on his own buggy build for the last two years that started from scratch without any fabrication knowledge. He is the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back. Jon hopes that he can use this chance to help promote land-use issues that are becoming a bigger problem for all off-road enthusiasts. The man has a way with words and the sport could use someone like him to represent it. Please help him get to the KOH drivers seat! <BR> <BR>BellyDoc's build thread is here - <a href="http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=649134&amp;highlight=bellydoc" target="_blank">http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=649134&amp;highlight=bellydoc</a> <BR> <BR>Register a Pirate4x4 login if you haven't already: <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/register.php" target="_blank">http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/register.php</a> <BR> <BR>Vote for BellyDoc here!! <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=849217" target="_blank">http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=849217</a> <BR> <BR>Thanks guys, it will only take a few minutes of your time. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by bcoppinger on January 15, 2010)
