Amazing recovery by spotter, Vantage WA rock crawl in 2000

Postby commando14 » Wed Feb 09, 2011 8:28 pm

Here's video I took at the NWRCA Rock Crawl in Vantage in 2000. We all thought he was going over. There was some crazy steep drop offs and difficult courses, I remember several roll overs. Have more video that I need to go through and find the good parts... this was one that I'll always remember.

That sure isn't allowed these days. :lol:


I talked to Big Rich about vantage a few years ago and he said he'd love to have events up there again but the landowner is a greedy tard and wanted a huge cut for parking and whatnot so they told him to stuff it. :lol:

I remember that deal. That event was soo kicked back and fun to watch. One of the sponsors provided free water and hotdogs. Many of the contestants ran their wheeling rigs -- no real buggies.

My sister competes in some grass roots stuff like that back east. . .R-Rocks I think it is called. She does pretty well in their wheelin' YJ. It is amateurs only.

Weird, don't ever remember seeing any of that down here. Probably a good thing it isn't still going on, I need to pay off my jeep first....

I was there and the background scenery along was worth the price of admission but the action was so good that I didn't realize the col. river in the background till now. Great vid.
