Yes!!!!

 

[Skylinerider]

I'd definately come watch, and donate some time, I don't have the funds to compete, but I love to spectate.

 

[jpest]

Yes for sure, bring back the old UROC style and I'd be there in a hurry.

I used to watch the old comps and oh, how things have changed. Those old UROC comps were so much fun.

If someonebrought back the old UROC style that would be killer. I would be interested in watching, judging and possibly competing.

VERY, I have no interest in what comps have become.

I would spectate and help where I could on an old school competition.

Old-school was fun! Too bad the poll doesn't allow more than one choice, cuz even if I couldn't compete I'd at least like to watch or maybe judge.

Make a 4Runner class.

Old school was the ****. And no more man made courses. If old school was brought back I would compete. I use to love to watch Craig when the Comando was a comando

Or compete and sponsor?

Don't make a 4-runner class... I just sold mine:-\

 

[MRJ]

I agree to the first 3 choices. I didn't vote though.

 

[Brett]

Hmm....honestly I got burnt out on any comp's a long time ago. For me it's not worth my time.

I like the natural courses, and the comradery hanging out in the parking lot and having beers afterwards.

natural competitiveness will eventually take over and it will become too difficult for the average joe wheeler to compete with the guys that have full out rock buggies and too expensive for average joe wheeler to afford to fix all the breakage trying to.

If you set up clear class restrictions then people will just try to stretch the rules. If you take the purse away then it's not worth it for me to come out and risk doing 5000 in damages for a 500 purse.

 

[BCGPER]

You mean like way back when it was fun??? Count me in!

(Need to be able to vote for more tham one choice too)

 

[SAMI]

i think i discovered rockcrawling right as UROC took it's turns and started the growing pains... so basically, i think i missed the "fun" UROC...

if a fun rockcrawling event or series comes out i will most definately be a part of it!

I think it was more fun when everybody knew eachother and were friends just hangin out. Plus x2 on the beers afterwords

 

[Maverick]

The first two years of Utah Rockcrawling & Offroad Challenge was a LOT more fun that I thought it would be. I had a lot of fun spotting Creighton. I always wanted to drive, too, but didn't have a rig that was worthy. I had to drop out cuz I couldn't afford a divorce.

 

[Tacoma]

I was gonna say, should be multiple choice, but to answer shortly:

YES!!! I'm interested in all of the above. I missed the early days, so it would be awesome to get a second chance.

 

[notajeep]

I need a venue for the new buggy and myself! Count me in.

Too bad I'm 2000 miles away now. I really enjoyed the one year I got to participate as a judge while you were still running the show. I was bummed when you decided to get out of the organization part of it.

I agree with previous comments about old school comps, keep it small, keep it fun. As someone else stated, as soon as some big money rigs start showing up, it detracts from the local feel, and the competition and egos start getting too big. People begin to have too much invested in the comps and you get arguing with calls, nit picking and 'stretching' the rules - anything to win. I think the fun begins to seep out of it when that starts happening.

One year, the U4WDA had a winter rodeo (2002 I think...I actually took first overall). It had several different things - slow hill climb, obstacle course, barrel racing, blind driver...maybe a couple other events. It was really fun, nobody got stressed if they didn't win, everyone just had a lot of friendly competition - anyone could have won it. That is the kind of thing I would be interested in being involved in.
