KOH seems like a total s show this year. Vendors having product stolen at night, fireworks issues, and everything else you are seeing on social. I am just bench racing at this point, as I have no desire to go ever again.
I have seen some people say this year was better "less trash" "less Fireworks" which if true is good, but social media is spinning it the opposite direction. Quite frankly the comments everyone is making about "f the closure just drive around them" "I only go for the party at night" "the gov cant shut it down" is all so stupid to me.
In my old man mind, i see this as something that is too good to be true, and will come crashing down if they dont get some control. Did i hear someone died this year at night at CT?(dont quote me on that) its only a matter of time before lots of people die due to an accident...... and guess who will be liable? BLM, our state, and promoter. Same thing happened at the MDR night race. BLM took a hit for that, because they knew it was dangerous and did nothing. How is this not the same?
This event has become too big, and is bringing in the wrong crowd, while most everyone on here is respectful and the right people.... with that many out there, there is enough that arent the right crowd and they truely dont care about offroad or what happens to it. They will be gone next year drifting their chargers into tortas.

I went up to Johnson Valley yesterday to sell some parts and then buy some parts. i heard about the CT death rumor being one of the people from the fight video. Not sure if true as one of my other in the know sources had not heard about it when i asked him. hopefully just a rumor. But i do think youre right. Just like the MDR night race, IF something tragic happens its gonna be the end!
I haven’t been to KOH
I would love to go out to KOH, but from the outside looking in it seems like a shit show and my old man brain says “meh I’m good”
20 something year old me would have had a blast.
I’m sure it has stuff to offer me, and I’m sure I could have a good time. I feel like there are other events out there that I could get more out of. And I may be completely wrong

I was only there Friday and Saturday last week and had a great time being with friends and doing some wheeling. Definitely tons of stupid people, but the real idiots come out at night. I knocked out in the back of Mikey's explorer while we were heading back down Turkey Claw, and crawled into bed when we got back around 10:30pm. It was glorious.
My point being - it's not hard to stay away from the poop show. I'm going back up Saturday morning with the crawler.
