Professional Rock Crawling is very confusing especially after the ARCA/UROC merger with UROC running 2 consecutive series Pro National and Extreme East/West. Pro Rock events are televised on the Outdoor Channel. UROC on ESPN2, Speedvision, Spike TV and a few others. I know Rich has had CalROCS televised but can’t remember what channel. Most folks don’t know or care about sanctioning bodies anyway and most of the competitors compete in more than one.

I may be one of the few on this board that is into rockcrawling. I would bet I am the only competitor that owns a VX at least I have not met any. I used my VX for recovery at the events as a UROC official the last two years so if you may see it in some old video from time to time. Now that Linda and I compete, it does not go on location any more.

The big news in Rock Crawling is that Supercrawl III will be on man made courses. The event will be held at Rocky Mountain Raceway in Salt Lake City Utah October 14-17. The promoters hope to bring in thousands of new fans with this event being held in area with a large population base. The courses are also permanent so I would expect more events at RMR as well as other man made venues including Las Vegas this year at SEMA.

Linda and I are sponsored by Maxxis Tires and are part of the Maxxis Rock Stars Racing Team. If you have not heard of Maxxis tires you will. In the Pro National finals held in St.George Utah over the weekend Maxxiz Team members Mike and Troy Bailey took a first in Stock Modified. Our tires were hooking up on the rocks better than any of the other brands. I wish I could have been able to keep the Jeep running for Linda.
