Robby had mentioned attending KOH, I'm not sure what they are bringing yet or if they are planning on competing but I will try to find out and post back here.

Maybe we can find a way to meet up one of the days and put faces with the user names.


 
I could be mistaken, but I remember Robby saying he is taking to the King of Hammers, 1 Bandit to race in the rocks, and 2 El Diablos for racing in the desert..?
 
Yep, I just confirmed....at 3:56 in the recent Bandit post from China, Robby talks about what he taking to King of the Hammers...
Can't wait to see the cars in action(y), in the toughest off-road race in the world...(arguably) lol

He said he is racing them? Or just display at a booth?
 
In the Instagram post, he sounds like he means to race the Bandit in the rock course, and the 2 Diablos in the Dessert race.
Someone else posted a more recent reply on another thread here, where Robby said he is going to KOH if testing checks out.
 
If any of you know more of the king of the hammers and how the speeds will participate there please let me know I have never been I want to go just for Friday and Saturday but I don’t even know what class or what time they will run in I wrote an email to the king of the hammers today but so far it’s been about 10 hours and no reply back

I don’t have time to search for it, but there a really good thread on RDC with tons of KOH info and Dave Cole seems to be pretty active in it.
 
View attachment 131I’d like to see Gomez Brothers Racing (GBR) in a Speed, always top contenders at Hammers.
I'm with ya all the way on this one M80 🤙...
I really hope Robby and Raul (GBR), put something together for the future.
I got a chance to see GBR live at BFE in Moab a couple years ago, those guys rip it in the rocks! ... Top tier drivers, very aggressive and competitive. I think it would be pretty damn cool to watch someone with their driving ability's, combined with SPEED's new design, strength and performance capabilities, showcased in rock racing, especially at KOH!
I will defenitley be following this and looking for future news.....
 
Dang I guess I missed this thread. Fish just posted this. Looks like RG is racing the KOH after all. I thought he was just going there to show off his cars and spank Fish in his new $100k Polaris pro R. Lol

You know the cars Robbie is bringing are the race built cars not the production cars right? If so then it’s a 100k plus custom built race car based off the speed platform and a car probably close to 100k with ad one that’s a production car. Now in the race there will definitely be 100k plus custom built cars from both can-am and Polaris racing but I don’t thin fish car is 100k? But I could be wrong.
 
I figured he’d race in the event one of his race built cars. I’d assume the ElDiablo.
But I also thought he would race Fish’s Pro r with the stock production El Jefe. Maybe car #18?
Fish has said somewhere else that he has ~$100k into his car. It’s pretty blinged out and has aftermarket arms and such. Oh yeah, and a big ol’ BOOTY. LOL.

I must be the only person around who thinks putting a sandcar rear engine looking frame on a Polaris looks cheap.

Different strokes I guess.

Either way, Fish's car has at least $30k in retail aftermarket on it. If not more.
 
Here’s Fish’s post back in December.

It’s just crazy what people are putting into their cars. I was camped next to a group over Christmas/ new years break and this guy with a new Pro R let his drunk buddy take it for a quick night rip and needless to say he launched his buddies car over a baby dune and destroyed it. I went over to talk to the owner and he said he had around $120k into his ride. 😳 Hopefully they’re still friends today.
