ESPN2 will be showing the SLC and St George events from the 05 ProNational series.

It is scheduled for 4:00 and 4:30 pm est. I think, check your local listings.

Shannon Campbell won the St George event with a big finish. It is worth watching again!

See you at Firebird International Raceway next month for the West Extreme opener. March 9-11.

I wouldn't count on it if it's anything like last years event. Alot could be learned from the WEROCK event in Congress. That comp rocked literally! ;)

The event schedule for TV can be viewed here: http://www.superlift.tv/episodes.asp?pid=76

[brett@uroc]

Alot was learned so I will be there all next week making changes to the site including more concrete to finish the course. Also many upgrades to make it alot more fun for spectators.

There is also a new event format we will put in place starting with this event.

The ProNationals will be there on May 11-13 for there opener.

Feel free to send your suggestions to me at brett@uroc.com

Will attendees be required to pay a parking fee on top of the ticket fees?

At the WEROCK event; we could purchase a meal for about $1.00 more than Firebird vendors were getting for a hamburger.

Will there be seating areas?

The course was very confusing last year with a lack of imformative commentary that would have helped newbies understand the scoring system as well as what the whole rock crawling sport is about and why.

These were typical complaints last year. I'd like to see this event become a success and I realize there are growing pains that come with the territory.

Everything at the UROC events were over priced last year. The ticket prices are way over priced and food and beverages were as well. You can expect to pay prices like that, at lets say NASCAR or a NFL football game, but come on, for rock crawling. UROC should make it more afordable to go watch.

[brett@uroc]

I will be meeting with the raceway next week.
We have already talked about the seating we will have bleachers around the course that hold about 50 people each.

The ticket price will be $10 and kids 10 and under free.

There will be buy-1-get-1-free coupons as soon as tomorow, we will have them at the Average Joe 4x4 comp and expo on feb 17-19 as well as other locations including Firebirds main office.

As for parking that is up to the raceway. Same with food and drinks.

There is a new format in place for the season that will make it alot easier to follow the event.

Six elimination obsticles for all to run. The first 4 on fri and the next 2 on sat am. After that the top 12 will run in the semi-final rounds then only the top 3 will run in the finals on sat evening. This will make it easier for fans to follow what is happening.
If you saw the main event last season you will know what I mean.

We are looking for some aditional things for kids to do also like an RC course;) and big inflatable jumping toys.

I am open to suggestions:)

Suggestion...............how about real rocks instead of concrete.........:rolleyes:

[jeepsonly]

Those were pretty good shows. Lots of rolling. Man that Walker Evans is crazy! A couple of really nice saves too. There are a few things to learn from these guys about saving yourself from a rollover. Oh and rollcages, harnesses and helmets, too. [:)]

Sounds great. Thanks for the info; Brett.

I prefer the natural rock courses also as they more closely represent what we run locally. Also; the man made courses seem to offer gobs of traction unlike dusty/slick rocks and plain old terra firma. ;)

[D-Dub]

Ten dollars sounds a lot better.

the stadium junk just dont cut it..........to much money to get in and 6.00 hot dogs........this is a sport that should be played in the rough, Ive been 2 several arena events and they just have the right feel.
