I'm surprised there isn't an option for Trail racing...

What would you consider "trail racing"? Is that like a fast rock crawl or rock racing or... maybe more like a timed trophy challenge?

I mean Trial, not trail. Sorry about that. :)

Kind of an off-road version of auto crossing.

Post by: ebewley on February 25, 2008, 08:51:51 AM: Not too many votes or views.... Hmmm. I wonder what would make people more inclined to participate. Prize money, TV, team competition?

Anyone have any thoughts?

Post by: losidriver2003 on April 13, 2008, 03:26:51 PM: i would think most people would like to do those races. but it takes lots of money time and you need sponsers,mech,spare parts. i like the simple stuff where i'll i need is tires a lift some dirt rocks mud. the mountain fire road are fun. then when i get home wash it park and ready for the next trip.
