Professional Rock Crawling is one of the most intricate sports in the motorsports arena.  It is technical, mechanical and filled with action.  The rock courses are setup on a wall where spectators can bring their chairs and be able to see multiple courses running at the same time.  The two day format includes 4 courses of competition on Friday night and another 4 courses on Saturday night, with a final shootout on Saturday night which usually determines the final finishing positions!  The winner will be determined by the driver that has the least amount of points at the end of the weekend, similar to golf.

There are over a dozen drivers already committed to coming to compete, some driving over 14 hours to be part of this professional series.  Names that are familiar include Unlimited Drivers 2012 Series Winner Carl Shortridge and father son team of Bill and Chicky Barton; Pro Mod Drivers include last years series winner Kenny Blume along with long time competitors and crowd pleasers Josh Crowe and Danny Rohrer.  Additional drivers that are scheduled to compete include Duane Garretson, Chris Smith, Mikkel Martin and others.  There is a stock class that any local drivers are welcome to compete in.
