W.E.ROCK 8-12-2006

The weekend of August 12th and 13th I attended the W.E.ROCK Eastern Finals in Hannibal, Missouri. The “Hannibal Rocks” site was a brand new site developed in less than a month by the people at Rockport Offroad Park where I have previously attended events. Hannibal Rocks is an abandoned rock quarry so it is the perfect place for rock crawling. My friends Bill Bailey and Jason “Tolly” Tollison were Competing once again in the stock modified class. Placing in the top 3 in this class at this event meant a trip to Dallas the weekend of September 23rd for the W.E.ROCK National Championships. Team Rock Assault had some trouble on the first day breaking a front axle early on one of the first curses.

This is what broke.

The ride off the course.

It was repaired quickly and they were back in it for the second day of competition. At the end of the second day Bill Bailey and Tolly placed 2nd and qualified for the nationals. So in 2 weeks I will be in Dallas covering the national championships. If we place in the top 3 against the best from the West then we head to Las Vegas in October for the world championships.

Here are some other pics from the event.
