Average high around that time is 47, average low is 21
Currently it is 48 degrees with a wind chill to 44, although we are in a warm week this week with a strong high. I wouldn't expect it to be this warm then.
Sorry, hope that helped a bit.

JKchick,
It'll be cold, no doubt about it. When were you planning to arrive? Thursday night, at least, we'll have a good fire (I'm bringing my fire ring, and I'm sure some folks will bring plenty of wood). If you're tent camping, I'd recommend a bag as close to 0-degree as you can get and maybe something to throw over the top of that.
Or just stay up all night. It happens.

I have great new. I just got off of a conference call a couple of hours ago with one of the guys that are promoting the event and they have received their permit from the BLM.
Getting the permit is always a challenge these days.

[QUOTE="littlered"]Hey guys,
I'm mostly a lurker on this forum as I have a TJ and not a JK, but I've wheeled with some of you. I see that some folks have some questions about King of the Hammers this year. My team, Big Ugly Racing, put together a 5 minute video to give some info on the race. You can also find other information about the race on the new site. I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing you out there!

Not quite the 11th hour, but that had to be quite a relief! Thanks for the update.
