The July Eastern Rock Crawling Event (ERoCC) is
now completed, and the competition in both divisions was very
fierce. Stacy Walker of Easley, SC took top honors in the Legends
division, while Troy Meyers was the top finisher in the Unlimited
Division.
In the Unlimited Division, Troy Meyers of Badlands
Offroad Park returned to the JROCC facility in hopes of bettering
his June performance of 3rd place. However, Ken Shupe and Chris
Durham, the one-two finishers of the first two events were not
going to allow Meyers to take the top spot easily. Shupe was off to
an early thrashing, tearing up the obstacles left and right.
However, a cut tire on obstacle B-11 put Shupe out of contention
for the top spot when he couldn't get the tire replaced in time,
and took a 40 on the obstacle. Meyers continued to cut up the
field, and settled in after the two day event with a total score of
8... enough to claim top honors for the event. Durham continued his
string of 2nd place finishes by finishing with 41 points, and Shupe
rounded out the top 3 with a finish of 43 points. This leaves
Durham and Meyers tied for second place, and Shupe in sole command
of first, going into the ERoCC Finals in September.
In the Legends division, the competition was tight
and action packed. Michael Smythe was in first place after the
first day of competition, turning in a total score of 94 for the
day. However, Stacy Walker was gunning for top dog status as well,
and bettered his first day score of 149 by turning in a 65 point
performance, taking his total score to 214... good enough for the
first place finish. Smythe finished up in second place with 248
points, and ERoCC rookie Mike Cole turned in an impressive 2nd day
total of 58 points to claim third spot with a combined two day
total of 317.
The next event, which will be the ERoCC
Championship event, is scheduled for September 6 - 8 in Jellico,
TN.
