Is there going to be any Supercrawl coverage this weekend? Pirate or anywhere else?:confused:

Doesnt look like it.

The Aussie guys were also saying its only 6 Courses. 3 each day. No Bonus lines and no Shoot Out. Not sure if this is normal for SC but seams a lot of effort for teams to go to for a very short run.

we were hoping to go since it so close, but sounds like it might not be worth the drive after all

Courses are way too easy.

Super Mod scores are something like this -

1st - (three way tie with perfect scores - no backups or cones)
Bruce Zellar -24
Marty Hart - 24
Shannon Campbel -24

2nd (two way tie)
Jason Scherer -23
Tracy Jordan -23

Sorry, that's the only scores I have now.

Peter (Aussie) rolled on his first obstacle, so he's not looking so good. :(

There were a few rolls, but overall the courses are too damn easy. One single backup kills you. Hopefully tomorrow's courses will be harder!

Also, we are not doing live coverage (obviously) but we have a photographer there taking pictures, so expect to see some pictures soon.

Lance do you know if there is anyone there covering this that may get Pictures or info up on line?

Edit:Sorry the site went slow while i was typing this reply.

Thanks Lance.

Lance and Jason make it look easy....:smokin: (even though Jason looks like he was run over by a shopping cart!)

It wasn't as easy for "buddy the Shark"! Did he roll or make it?

Tough crowd! I don't know Lance is really that easy, or are the teams just gettin that much better? It seems that once somebody finds the line, then it gets easy. But that little old me. You guys leadin the are considered some of the BEST out there. I'm also very proud to work with you!

What about modified? How about competitor turnout?

That is definitely a great perspective, these are the BEST crawlers in the World!

Ok, So here is another teaser photo of Lance & Jason playin' on the Rocks:D


http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r241/HoupPhotograhy/LANCEJASON.jpg

The boys from wickedmag.com are out there!!! Like the title says, "We are everywhere". We will also have coverage of the entire W.E. Rock and XRRA season next year. :D Thats World Wide Coverage!!!!!!!:D Oh yeah we will be covering UROC also from coast to coast.

If there is only 2 backups from having 5 guys running perfect scores, something must not be right.

I think the problem is the lack of Lil' Rich and his courses!!!

How is Haines and Rich doing?

How is Haines and Rich doing?

What up Blackie?:D If I remember correctly, Jesse said they are in second place!...

Seeing Lil Rich spot is weird, he took off and ran around a course, I didn't think he was that quick...:bounce2:

Lance and Jason make it look easy....:smokin: (even though Jason looks like he was run over by a shopping cart!)

Ya, I heard Lance won the race :flipoff2:

Thanks for the shot

Yes we did roll, but Buddy is just fine. We finshed the day with 36 piont all them from the roll. We broke the atlas shifter right before the roll and couldn't front dig over before rolling. By the way for all of are fans that didn't make it down. Here is the new addition to Team Shark Attack.

Anyone know how Ted Grady did??

CRAWL is there, we have 3 or 4 people on site... hoping to have this in the Jan/Feb issue which is due out December 19th, but no promises... we go to press Tuesday morning!!!! so if we get it laid out Monday, it's in! Talk about tight deadlines!

I think the problem is the lack of Lil' Rich and his courses!!!


Comments like this make me soooo glad I'm retiring. If you don't like UROC then don't go, but jeezus, give this bull shit a rest. It's people like you that are killing this sport.

People like who? People like a mag guy that hauls his ass all over the country to give us coverage? Have you driven on Rich's courses? Do you honestly believe they are not significantly better than any other promoters?

Evidently Brian and Joachim were kicking butt after the last course. There was some confusion whether or not there was going to be a shoot out.

They have been making up that Shootout BS as they go all year . It was different at every event on the East .

Anyone found any more coverage or results on this yet? There is a little on off-road.com but only Sat coverage. http://rock.off-road.com/rock/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=389518

I was there Saturday and shot a few photos....

Dude, you may have won 1 fawking event, but UROC WEST would have eaten your rig alive this year. Don't think for a second that Lil'Rich courses are the ultimate in difficulty.

Dude, you may have won 1 fawking event, but UROC WEST would have eaten your rig alive this year. Don't think for a second that Lil'Rich courses are the ultimate in difficulty.
Good courses, and courses that eat rigs, are two different things...courses that are easy and/or courses that just eat your rig can be set by anyone. Good courses take skill to set.

Nobody wants just "ultimate difficulty"...they want courses that challenge every rig there to a degree that presents a balanced field...they want versatility in the lines that enables you to THINK as well as drive...they want courses that cost you points to complete but are do-able by most, but not with perfect scores...they want challenges that make them look good to the crowds, media, and their sponsors...they want a whole lot more than most course designers can offer.

Lil Rich may make a mistake here and there, but overall, he pretty much nails the above requirements...even making old lines look new but often taking unused territory and making it work to the maximum. In my opinion, NOBODY, since Phil Collard, can set a course like Lil Rich. And please realise that I'm not bashing Ranch. I've liked many of the courses he's set...but in the end, comparing Ranch to Rich in course design is like comparing me and Becca in the driver's seat...yep, I can drive...but if you noticed, I stopped driving...Bec wins hands down...
And, i do realise that Brett and others also set courses for UROC. Not bashing them either, but the same argument applies...though Brett did give us a good run for our money a few times.

Congrats Tracy! Did your bro spot? If so, congrats Jason Jordan! If not, congrats to Jerry or whoever stepped in.

Also, congrats to Brian and Joachem! Glad to finally see you get what you've been chasing for so long!

So the question really is? How are Jason's hyfax's and skis doing on his new sled:D

Did you happen to get any of the crane? I missed Saturday, but heard it flopped. I'd like to see it :evil:

This is interesting.....
Last year SCIV had 56 Pro-mod and 36 Modified competitors
This year there was 24 Pro-mod and 18 Modified competitors (everyone at the bottom of the score sheet that had 50's from the first course...didn't show up)

Yes, I saw how unstable it was and got the whole thing....

http://www.trail-gear.com/events/2006-supercrawl/cranedown.gif

Two recovery vehicles and dozer spent over an hour trying to right the crane. The just could not get the angle needed to tip it over with the boom extended. After many things were tried, the solutions was the good old high lift jack. A pair of jacks were used to lift the boom just enough to get a few blocks of wood under it. The forklift attachment could then be released and the boom retracted.

http://www.trail-gear.com/events/2006-supercrawl/tg2006-5830.jpg

With the boom all the way down, the recovery vehicles were able to right the huge crane back on to its feet.

http://www.trail-gear.com/events/2006-supercrawl/tg2006-5811.jpg

After about an hours of recoveryon the crane, "Little Rich" of We-Rock suggested that it could become part of the course and it was time to just drive over it!

[QUOTE=RUFF]Hey Chris is this the Aussie Buggy?[quote]

Yes that was them. I also shot video of the roll but have not processed that yet.

From what i saw on Sunday that guy knows how to drive.

Look for a full feature on it in the Mar/Apr issue of CRAWL Mag. :cool2:

The Lexus V-8 in that thing is so quiet, but sounds pretty bad ass when he gets on it. Masa (sp) did some damn good driving.

So the question really is? How are Jason's hyfax's and skis doing on his new sled:D


I watched him tear across the pit section...I love the sound of those machines!

Thanks Chris. If you could get that on line it would be appreciated.

Dude, you may have won 1 fawking event, but UROC WEST would have eaten your rig alive this year. Don't think for a second that Lil'Rich courses are the ultimate in difficulty.

I've made no bones about the fact that we got lucky at Worlds. My win/loss record has nothing to do with the fact that Rich sets better courses than anybody else.

How is comparing your driving to anyone's anything not bashing them?

Congrat's to Tracy and crew!
And to Brian and Jo- Jason told me you guys were awesome this weekend and even if I had gotten the motor in I wouldn't have had a chance against you. Good year Twisted boys! You deserve it.

This year there was 24 Pro-mod and 18 Modified competitors (everyone at the bottom of the score sheet that had 50's from the first course...didn't show up)

...of those 18 mod competitors only 3 were from the east and of the 24 Super Mod only 5 were from the east. So...a combined 8 teams from two classes made the trip from the east coast this year.

There was also one driver in the Stock class.


who?

who?

I don't recall his name. He was driving a white Jeep.

thanks......i'm not sure who that was either...??? anyone?

How was the promotion and organization aspect of the event? Did UROC talk about the full hydro in the mod class? What was up with the low turnout? This was the first year I have seriously considered going to Supercrawl and I am glad I didnt go.
Congrats to the winners!:D

I listened to as little of the announcer as possible. What kind of crowd turnout do you expect? The front "seating" area was pretty full most of Sunday. The only thing that suprised me at all was there was NEVER a line at the beer vendor.. then again, i didn't buy any beer from them either.

I thought is was well organized and things seemed to move along smooth, except for the crane fiasco!
I spoke to a very well respected driver about the "promotion" of the event and we both agreed that it could be better. One of the things we spoke about was the "Truckin' Nationals" that used to be held there and the place was jam packed, (this was back in the day when there were not nearly as many people living in Phx) Monster Trucks and other "ok" events at Firebird draw a decent size crowd because people want to be "outside" doing something! I am not, in any way taking a jab at UROC or any of the staff, if there was more promoting, that place would be jam packed!

I got 1600 pics to go through and over 8 hours of video... hopefully the pics will be up early tomorrow and the video should be done by mid week. It was a good event, congrats to Tracy and Brian.

thanks......i'm not sure who that was either...??? anyone?

Thanks everyone who remember there was a stock class at Supercrawl this year and that was Team Canyon Creek from UROC MX. Driver Eldon Whitworth Spoter Waldo Kim, Both From Team Laredo CP 4x4. Well we all had a blast at UROC and as long as this sports alive there will always be feud between the east and the west thats why i live in the south Texas.

we seriously were planning the 36+ hour drive out to compete in stock but did not think anyone else was going from our class. i am sorry that you hauled out while the rest of us didn't.....hopefully we will see you somewhere in 07

Two years ago I attended Supercrawl and I noticed that for me it was much easier to do my job of getting photos of video this time. The press pass process took just a few minutes. Last time, it took two hours to complete.

On course I was able to get the shots I wanted with little interference from the judges.

Below the courses was the pit and vendor area. Overall it was very compact and easy to get around. Large K rails kept the rigs away from the spectators.

Parking was nothing short of a dream. Media and Team parking was directly above the courses. In the morning I stepped out of the rv and in just a few steps I was on the courses....

Things seem to run smooth until the crane rolled over. That put things in a bit of a bind, but it was rather interesting to watch it get recovered.

...it was very compact and easy to get around....parking was nothing short of a dream.

I agree. It was very easy to get around and parking wasn't a problem at all with the record low number of fans and competitors.

I listened to as little of the announcer as possible. What kind of crowd turnout do you expect? The front "seating" area was pretty full most of Sunday. The only thing that suprised me at all was there was NEVER a line at the beer vendor.. then again, i didn't buy any beer from them either.

Can't blame you Mike! LOL

Can't blame you Mike! LOL
Hey, I'm honest ;)

thanks
Brian
