The legend class was for veteran crawlers that had highly modified rigs with
stretched wheel bases, swapped in motors,
and enough cage work to make you keep
guessing what it started life as. The fun part
about the legend class was that the drivers
didn’t have cars that were too far above
the stock class, but at the same time they
were dedicated trail rigs that it was ok to
roll over and abuse without thinking twice.
That kind of attitude was necessary to complete on some of the lines that made up the
Course. Body damage was likely, although
there were lots of rigs that came out clean
from this class.
The way that the UTVs had to get creative
on some of the bigger ledges and crevasses
kept the crowd on the edge of their seats
just as much as when the stock rigs were
on course. The short wheel base, narrow
platform, and smaller tires made these guys
work hard! Their small size made them nimble enough to rock out though. The Street
Stock class of rock crawl was the best in my
opinion. This class was comprised of mostly
all street legal vehicles with 33-37” tires.
It is truly amazing at what a mildly modified Jeep or truck can do. I know I always
surprise myself when there is a crowd of
people watching and the pressure is one.
You don’t want to let them down, so you
pony up and make it happen for them!
