Driving Line VOLUME V ISSUE 1 | WINTER 2019

LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER FULL-BORE AHEAD Now that we’re on the fast track toward 2020 and a new decade, we couldn’t be more hopeful for what lies ahead for automotive enthusiasts. As motorsports like ULTRA4 continue to push forward innovation, auto manufacturers are putting engineering to work in things like the 1,000hp Hellephant engine (pg. 70) and automotive enthusiasm is alive and growing (pg. 54)—we can only imagine what accomplishments the next decade holds. HAMMER DOWN, HAMMERTOWN As longtime supporters of King of the Hammers and ULTRA4, we’re excited to bring you the official KOH guide within these pages of Driving Line. You’ll not only find the official maps, schedule and racing info needed but you’ll also get everything else Driving Line serves up, from off-road to street. Catch up on last year’s racing season (pg. 90), then browse through to find some jaw-dropping builds, like the 4x4 ’55 DeSoto (pg. 30), and learn why the new P-Metric Ridge Grappler may be a good choice for your less-often-taken off-road car (pg. 60). And as always, be safe and enjoy everything that the organizers, volunteers and racers have worked to create during this week!
