United Rockcrawling Offroad Challenge
The Cedar City Crawl-A-Thon
Just in case you didn't get enough
rock crawling action last weekend, the Off-Road.com crew is heading
out to the rocks once again. This time, it's off to Cedar City for
UROC's extreme rock crawling competition. We'll be there beginning
this Thursday for contingency and carry our coverage through to the
last obstacle on Saturday, bringing you daily updates and extreme
action footage and photos.
Some 50-plus
teams will compete for the ultimate honors and big bucks, vying for
more than $3,000 in winnings and a shot at the end-all finale of
rock crawling competitions, the 2002 SUPERCRAWL, where the top ten
finishers from UROC, CalROCS, EROCC, Kremmling Crawl, Rock Garden
Four Wheelers, PRO ROCKS, NWRCA, and RCAA will compete in a battle
for some $52,000 on the rocks in Farmington, New Mexico on October
9-12.
So far, Curt Hildebrand has the upper
hand as we head into this weekend's action. He returns from a major
UROC upset victory in St. George, where he spanked the Unlimited
Class of competitors with a 58-point lead for the weekend at 39
points. Showmen and fierce competitors such as Chris Durham, in
second at 97 points, and Neil Lillard in third at 102 points, are
on the rocks this time with new strategies and a greater hope of
having their day upon the rocks. Hildebrand will most certainly be
a marked man.
Don't forget last event's
winners, Dean Bulloch in the Legends Class of crawlers, Braden
Kemp, the Show and Shine winner, Troy Muse, the Neater Beater
winner and Chris Monk, the Difficult Trail Extreme Cash
winner.
If you're looking to catch the
action in person, they'll be providing food and services at the
event site. And for those of you who may want to do some 'wheeling
afterwards, the Color Country Four Wheeler will host their annual
Memorial Day Trail Ride after the event. You'll want to contact
Troy Bailey at 435-586-0209 for more info.

Off-Road Experience
I've been 4-wheeling off and on for about 15 years now. It all started back in 1985, on a tiny piece of coral in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, called Guam......
A friend was interested in getting a Toyota FWD, so we took one out for a test drive. During the test drive, we got the bright idea of testing it's four-wheelin' capabilities and nearly drove off a 100 foot cliff!! Well, we survived and my friend bought the truck, so I decided to buy myself a new Toyota (without the optional test drive, of course!)
