Delta,
UT - Last year the United Rockcrawling and Off-road
Challenge introduced the town of St. George to the world of competitive
rockcrawling. UROC enjoyed its best year ever in 2002 and is hoping
to improve on that success by kicking off its 2003 season with
another exciting event in St. George, Utah. The site at St. George
has amazing potential as last year the course designers only used
a small portion of the available obstacles. Everyone should expect
another set of obstacles designed to challenge the toughest rockcrawlers
in the world. Everyone will be watching to see who emerges as
the top competitors in 2003.
Currently
the UROC sponsors are offering over $12,000 in contingency money
and prizes to the top finishers in St. George. In addition, 100%
of all entry fees will be returned to the top competitors as prize
money. As an extra bonus, Rec-World of Orem, Utah will also be
giving away a hot tub to a lucky competitor.
The event
is set to get under way February 13 as the competitors show up
for registration and a technical inspection of their rigs. Fans
are invited to check out the rigs and mingle with the drivers
during registration at Painters Sun Country Chrysler in St. George.
The competition gets underway on February 14 near St. George and
concludes on February 15. Following is the event itinerary:
