\r\n\r\nThe King of the Motos returns to King of the Hammers again in 2024. There will be two days of moto racing up some of the gnarliest rock faces at the Hammers. The very next weekend, desert cars take to the Hammers with two days of racing. The popular Class 11 showdown will also take place Saturday night, January 27th<\/sup>. The week continues with short course racing, King of the UTV\u2019s, Everyman Challenge, and finally the coveted Race of Kings.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2023KOHRaceofKingsQualifying_RaulGomez-1024x683.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nRaul Gomez will be looking to get his third straight Hammers win. Gomez has won back to back crowns at the Hammers. Gomez will have over a hundred other 4400 cars also trying to secure the crown. 4400 class drivers will qualify for starting positions throughout the week with some of the biggest names securing their starting spots during the KOH Power Hour.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/KOH-2024-Schedule-683x1024.jpg\")

\r\n\r\nThe event began Saturday morning with a single lap Prologue event that determined starting positions for the first race. Will Riordan earned himself the pole position. Saturday afternoon the race started with a gnarly land rush start straight up a rocky hillside. It was chaos as riders got stuck attempting to find their way through the section. Trystan Hart led the pace, quickly separating from the field. Hart kept a three-minute lead over Cody Webb. Both have won King of the Motos. Webb has won five times. Hart took the victory in 2021.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2023KingoftheMotos_TrystanHartWin-1024x683.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nIn the second race on Sunday, riders had to complete two laps, starting at the bottom of Chocolate Thunder. Colton Haaker led the first of the racers through keeping ahead of the carnage behind him. By the first checkpoint, both Trystan Hart and Cody Webb were back out front with a big lead. Webb stayed consistently behind Hart until a GPS error led Webb off-course where he lost valuable time. Hart brought home the victory while Webb managed to pull off a second-place finish and Ryder LeBlond third.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2023KingoftheMotos_Podium-1024x683.jpg\")

\r\n\r\nThe moto riders faced Hammer trail obstacles going up Jackhammer, Wrecking Ball and down Jack North. The riders started with a six-mile prologue taking them near Chocolate Thunder. The event continued in the afternoon with a 14-mile route.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/King-of-the-Motos_KTM-300x200.jpg\")

\r\n\r\nGerman KTM rider Manuel Littenbichler had the lead on the third lap, battling Cody Webb. Unfortunately, Littenbhichler somehow bypassed the obstacle in Backdoor. He was assessed a 1-hour penalty. 2017 winner Colton Haaker received a similar penalty. The mistakes allowed Cody Webb to take the victory and the crown. Webb missed a checkpoint in 2017 and lost to Haaker. Webb has multiple wins at the King of the Motos. Webb sustained an ACL injury ten months prior to the event sidelining him from racing.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/King-of-the-Motos_RedBull-KTM-300x200.jpg\")
\r\n\r\n\u201cThe first lap everyone was taking turns leading, making mistakes. I kind of didn\u2019t make the best decision on tires but it lasted. I ran a standard tire, just because I knew it\u2019d last, and it really kicked my butt,\u201d Webb said. \u201cSo, the first two laps I struggled, and I did all I could to hang with Manny, just to stay in his rear wheel. That last half I had a way better tire setup. And then I shot up Backdoor, and I saw him miss it, and then it was like \u201cOk, I know he missed that checkpoint.\u201d So, once I saw Manny miss that checkpoint on the final lap, I was like \u2018OK, take your time, don\u2019t mess anything up because that\u2019s going to be a big setback for him.\u201d I lost that way a couple of years ago and it sucks. Manny definitely out rode me today.\u201d\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/King-of-the-Motos_Riders-Rocks-300x200.jpg\")
