Well it's official ERoCC has now merged with UROC. Here's the press release from ERoCC and The Trail Keepers:
ERoCC Announces Merger with UROC
November 12, 2003
The Eastern Rock Crawling Championship Series (ERoCC) is excited to announce a merger with the United Rockcrawling and Offroad Challenge (UROC). The new merger will allow UROC to expand into a national series with standardized vehicle requirements and scoring. The increased marketing and media coverage of UROC will broaden the appeal of the sport of rock crawling from coast to coast. ERoCC will now be called UROC Eastern Regionals and will continue to benefit and be run by the Trail Keepers Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating and maintaining multi-use trails.
"For the past two years ERoCC has been working closely with UROC and this merger is the next step in that relationship. This merger gives the sport of rockcrawling standardized vehicle requirements and increased media exposure." said Tim Rettig, ERoCC spokesperson. "From day one, ERoCC was started to generate funds that the Trail Keepers Foundation could use for trail maintenance. This merger does not change that goal. The Trail Keepers will continue to benefit from the events it organizes. UROC has the marketing, sponsors, and staff to take the sport of rockcrawling to the masses. The bigger these events get, the more funds Trail Keepers will be able to generate. We feel it is a winning combination."
Mark Patey, President of UROC stated "The Trail Keepers Foundation has put a lot of effort into establishing the sport of rockcrawling in the east in order to generate funds for multi-use trails. We’re excited to continue forward with that effort."

That shirt was from the second event, right? The one in Vernal? I wonder how many of those are out there? I have a Judge's shirt from the very first UROC...
