Az. W.E. Rocks meet

[Triathlete]

All right...here we go again!The World Extreme Rock Crawling Championship Series ( W.E. Rocks ) is holding an event in Florence Arizona. I don't know exactly where yet but I thought that would be a kick @$$ place to get together. It is on Feb. 11, 12, 13. I figure we could pick one day and go up and check it out.
If anyone is interested lets figure out which day is best. I'm thinking Sat. the 12th. That way it won't get us in the dog house with the ladies...you know, that Valentines dinner thing!
What do you all think?
Any out of staters who want to join in, your more than welcome to join us!
So whos in?

[Triathlete]

Todd,
You will definately have a VXer cheering section!

[VCAMILO]

You know me... I'll be in for this one also unless Im out of town. Hey Billy! Did you know that I have not had my VX for 7 weeks? I was going a little too fast in a ravine late at night and hit a large rock with my rear driverside tire. It cut the rim and tire. The axle was bent and the TOD stopped working. Major work! So, the dealer is paying for some and Im paying for the other. All I know is that they are repairing the entire rear differential, front gears, Trans fluid and rear fluid, etc... :frownp: I think I should be getting it back by friday...

[Triathlete]

7 weeks? That sucks! You had breifly mentioned that you did some high speed damage but didn't give the details. Thats why I stick to crawl'in speed on the trail!

[Triathlete]

The location has been changed to Globe according to their web site. The event start time is 10:00AM. Globe is about 2.5 hours north of Tucson and 1.5-2 hours east of Phoenix. The exact location has not been released yet however it is on "private" land. Camping is available in the area for anyone interested in that. More info as it comes!

Meet place Just north of the intersection of I-60 and I-77, on I-77 (for those who did Hackberry Creek-the same place)
Time 8:00am

As much as we would love to do the first WERock event, we just can't fit it in this year. Too many events too little vacation time. Easter Jeep Safari, Moab 'ZuZoo and UROC West Extreme series will be all we can do this year.

Thats too bad you can't make it Todd. Was looking forward to meeting you and watching you compete. Guess I'll just have to wait till ZuZoo to meet you!

Looks like you still may have the chance (I thought you were coming to 'ZuZoo for the meet part)

The Schedule right now for, UROC Extreme West, which is our series, to be held in Phoenix August 25-27 (Night Event) good thing we will be out of the heat or at least the sun. If I had to guess this would be on a man made course somewhere near the metro area.

The UROC Pro series will be in Phoenix on May 12-14 so where ever this is being held we will be there in August.
