King of the Hammers 2023 || BUG PROBLEMS

30+ Class 11 (Stock Bug) land rush start to a sandy uphill climb that turns into chaos really quick! Over half the field didn't have the momentum to make it up and over on their first try. One of the best races you'll see during the 2023 King of the Hammers event.

[@slugger449]

that was wild, im not sure what was more awesome a stampede of bugs or the bug passing that truck on the uphill lol

[@ryzenmedia]

that was crazy!

[@jesseplz]

What hill is this?

[@kokrket]

Saw more action in 6 minutes then I did the entire 7 days I was out there😂 epic

[@ozkrpalminteri9431]

Those things are like a miracle. No power, no wheel travel, nothing, and they still get to the finish line

[@rainwaterflowers]

3:44 When the guy stops the rolling car and the crowd cheers is classic hahaha!!!

[@michaeldose2041]

Guy in the white bug sees the guy in the orange bug high centered. Guy in the white bug goes to the same hump and high centers for the sole purpose of shooting dirt at the other bugs trying to make the hill, apparently.

[@dutchloveRC]

LOVE BUGS!!!!

[@fireopal4389]

To see all the bugs in different areas in this video, priceless. I love the way all the racers help each other, and the spectators get involved too. Thanks for the laugh

[@mgpBLARG]

God keep my hands off my wallet! I don't need a class 11 bug! Oh no, they aren't that expensive...
Well, I'm buying one 🤷‍♂️

[@russellmania79]

Love class 11 bugs

[@HardwayRanch]

They should be required to wear clown suits.

[@You-TUBA]

You mean Capes… these are super heros!

[@HardwayRanch]

@@You-TUBA Clowns with capes - I like it! 😆

[@HardwayRanch]

In 1983 I purchased an incomplete Baja Bug project built from a 1966 VW. Race Haus in Downey, CA coached me through finishing it off. That Baja Bug was fun like a fat girl - good times!

[@Mudcreekmedia]

Suspension travel is for peasants

[@G_Money72]

“Hold my beer” class!

[@KyleB_RCR8]

Gotta give it all the beetlejuice to get up that hill!

[@WickedGravityVideo]

Best desert racing video ever!!! Great job, John ...thanks for sharing ...I couldn't be there. Baldwin Jump hill going backwards

[@daddyrabbit835]

We call them Mexican Ferraris.

[@funhouse1077]

Terrible herbst on buggies wow. Awesome.

[@D_Cali_Life]

Why are they Stuck and going in circles ? Lmao I thought it was a race

[@sunniechen1965]

I was there! Loved it, so many laughs and cheers! They did a great job organizing and the drivers are magical workers, and they help one another out, awesome 😊

🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@donaldhalls2189]

Bug mainia, those thing rip, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@andrewmarshall360]

If you don’t love this class I have zero respect for you.

[@plottertwp]

Right?

[@KyleB_RCR8]

1:41 Raid. Stops bugs dead in their tracks

[@ronjones-6977]

I always wondered what the La Brea Tar Pits looked like back in the day. Now I know.

[@RyTrapp0]

The fact that Dave sees this kind of stuff and says "...yea, that's fine... ...maybe a little harder next year..." is what makes KoH so great lol. The world needs more motorsports where over half of the field doesn't finish(in 4400 anyway. And stock/mod too. And I'm pretty sure others as well, don't know all the numbers). Typically.

[@davestaco]

5:57 lol its like my ex girlfriend... listen closely

[@dougdimond1120]

Gotta love a V-Dub

[@ianbrown9082]

Couldn't see why it was so difficult, until I saw the Cherokee try it...I'm assuming all the bugs have open diffs

[@michaelmanese2228]

Never seen so many Bugs in my entire life ‼️✌️❤️😊

[@nikolajc7617]

You got bug problems, call Men in black.🤣😂

[@davidkline4372]

How many shots do the drivers take before the race?

[@R.Sole88109]

All of them🥃👍🏻

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Good action

[@Denpachii]

Awesome as that was, it still hurts a little knowing there are no more bugs being made to replace the ones that you know will be smashed in events like this.

[@jesseplz]

Fans helping Terrible Herbst just like in Baja

[@АнатолийБахарев-ь7я]

YT/ Автопрохоровка какая-то, картинки вточь, как последствия танкового сражения.

[@DirtBoxMedia]

Legend has it there are still some stuck out there today.

[@funhouse1077]

This is more fun than I expected. Wow. Love it

[@You-TUBA]

Class 11 bugs are always fun to watch!

[@westslopeoutdoors]

“Look that guys not in his car!” Atta boy/girl Cameron and Christian 😂

[@chasegaut3833]

Best video yet

[@pickuptrucker17]

Killer 😎

[@monette44]

So awesome! :)

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Must be a LOT steeper than it looks on camera cause these beetles are great off-road. Man that’s awesome!!! That’d be a blast to race thsi class! Need to put a turbo or SC on and a larger rear tire

[@The.Real.Timmii]

this class should run without other classes

[@raubindustries9426]

This was part of the PreRun of the course. If your referring to the Jeepspeed That was me driving. The thing up shifted and would down shift so it was bogging up the hill like the bugs.

[@jesseplz]

One guy got out as if surprised to be stuck😂

[@station08]

was that a "Geek Squad" Bug ?

[@plottertwp]

Epic. Those guys are studs.

[@station08]

@ 4:13 dude drops planks and flips off crowd. LMFAO

[@Crawlerjamie]

I thought he just waved haha

[@right_on_riggins]

Fackin’ legendary 🏁💨

[@vwbsean]

Gotta let the air outa the tires in the sand

[@stevefife7598]

Still one of the most beloved cars ever built to this day. I wish I had VW.

[@markthompson9914]

I can’t stick em, horrible little things ✌️🇬🇧
