The Wait Is Almost Over
Hello Competitors and Race Teams,
The wait is almost over. We are incredibly excited to welcome you back to Johnson Valley for the 20th Annual King of the Hammers! Two decades ago, this event started with a handful of friends and a hand drawn map. Today, thanks to this amazing community, it has evolved into the ultimate testament of mechanical endurance and driver grit. Whether you are a seasoned veteran of the lakebed or this is your first time racing with us, we are thrilled to have you with us for this milestone year.
To ensure you the best experience possible, we’ve compiled all the info you’ll need to navigate the 2026 King of the Hammers like a pro.
The King of the Hammers Team have put a massive amount of work into making this the biggest and best KOH yet. The energy is already building, and we can’t wait to see the dust flying and the engines roaring with all of you.
See you on the lakebed!
