WEROCK GLOBE 2007

Teams started showing up Friday for this weekends We Rock competition. Some of the drivers took to the rocks around the competition site for practice.  Teams primped and primed there rigs getting ready for the weekend of crawling. One of Dave Cole's team was checking their diffs and noticed the case coming part on his front Detroit locker. It took most of the afternoon and lot of help but he was able to remove the locker and weld up case to keep it from coming apart.

 

Some of the drivers brought their rings to downtown Globe for registration and check in. A few of them drove their rigs right through town, about 5 miles from the event site. The site of driving rock buggies down the streets is nothing new to Arizona residents. In this state you can registered and drive just about anything.  Competition starts 10am Saturday morning. Check back here for competition coverage.
