    W.E. Rock Professional Rock Crawling Grand Nationals This Weekend in Texas

    Professional Rock Crawling Saturday and Sunday September 12th and 13th starting at 10am

    BLACKFOOT, ID    SEPTEMBER 9, 2015:  The W.E. Rock Grand Nationals will be at brand new location for both East and West competitors, Katemcy Rocks (K2) Off Road Park in Mason, Texas.  This new location has no home field advantage for either of the Pro Classes.  The rose-colored granite formations have a lot of crystal content, so traction should be excellent for the very technical courses with lots of bonuses designed by Josh England.  The competition will be on Saturday and Sunday at the 5-star site Katemcy Rocks (K2) Off Road Park located just 6 miles west of Mason, TX.  Cabins, electrical hook ups and a shower house are available onsite, or it is a short drive to town for motels and restaurants.

    Epic™ Snatch Block

    Armed with a durable, corrosion-resistant E-coat finish, the Epic Snatch Block helps off-roaders get more out of their winches. Under proper use, this multi-purpose snatch block can effectively double the pulling power of any winch or change its pulling direction, without damaging the rope.
