Ok, We've got the buzz out there for MoRoc (Missouri Rockcrawling and Offroad Challenge)..

It is now time to sit down and hash out all the details so we can get things set in stone and get the ball rolling on this.. Weve got a good foundation and will be working to expand it...

So, what this means is, on DECEMBER 7-8...

We, as in all who are interested in participating on the BOD (Board of Directors) and/or are willing to work from the beginning to the end, will be meeting at OZ. OZ is located in Potosi, Missouri and will be one of the event locations.

Basically, if you are willing to put fourth the time to be an official in some capacity, or interested in competing - then you are welcome.

This will be a time to play and work...

There will be no cost to this. Just show up, bring all your ideas, and be ready and willing to work to make MoRoc a reality..

If you are interested, feel free to email me or post on here. If you are planning on attending then post here.

This offer is only for those that are willing to be commmited to the long haul on this.

We will be going over every last detail. Planning work weekends, locations, rules, officers etc..

In order to attend this you must have posted on here, or if you know of someone with out the ability to get online, email or post here with a name and number so i can contact them.

So if you want to be a part of MoRoc from its inception then come on out and help us get this going.

Just to make this clear, this is not a Jeep only event or events and just because you dont have a rig thats built for competing doesnt mean you cant help out..

Any and all Questions and Comments are welcome..
A detailed map of the location will be posted soon.

One last tid bit of info, we will be providing obstacles that will challenge the top echelon of erocc, uroc, calroc, prorock etc...

Keep checking http://jeepthing.com/forums/cgi-bin...t=000006#000000 to post any questions or comments and for updates..... please dont post here..
