Ranch Rock Racing 2
These few competitors have made their mark on the dawning of a
new era for motorsports. Rock Racing is a new revision of competitive
4-wheeling. In Rock Racing ™ there are no cones, no judges
counting 1-1000 –2-1000, no back up penalties, no winch penalties and
no vehicle restrictions (other than basic safety). The only
boundary rule is to stay on the trail as marked by banner tape, crossing
the boundary leads to a time penalty. Otherwise it is speed to get to
the finish line in the best time. Sounds like extreme trail riding with
speed thrown in for fun.

Ranch Rock Racing
Remember when Ned Bacon of Four Wheeler
Magazine wrote that competitions aren't anything like old-fashioned
trail riding, and should be called rock racing? Boy, that was so wrong
-- he chould have called what those events Rock-Clogging or simply
Roll-Fests. The event rules on highly skilled drivers and how they build
their machines have slowed the action down... without the rollovers,
watching competitors run one short section of trail again and again can
get pretty boring. Sometimes the rolls are the only
real action!
