[leach]

Can y'all recommend any options/best routes to get into offroad racing/rockcrawling competition?

I live on the east coast and am building my trial rig into more of a comp rig to compete some, but how would I get farther into desert racing? I think I am going to move out that way after college but is it easier to get in with the "who you know" vs. trying to work your way up?

Thanks for any help, and best of luck to all of those that are competing.

[nevadayj]

I'll be there. Trail cruising, Jeep rolling, long travel sand car driven (after the 1000, right Mike S.?) wannabe! Plam to chase for my business partner Greg Hukari running a class 10 challenge car thingy. Also, lending a hand in gettting Mike's JS from Ensenada to somewhere!:D

[nevadayj]

By the way, is that the "Jesse James" of WCC running a trophy truck as listed on SCORE? He might be counted as a poser rockcrawler?

[GoodTimes]

Yeah, he had Porter build him a car.

Cool - I've been out of competition since selling the truck, but couldn't pass up this beer bet. My son may ride with me - he was so young during the truck days he doesn't remember dad racing. Great to hear from you - I still see Jeff on occasion - even made him some axles a few years ago.
