Rockcrawling wisdom


"I knew when it stopped I was in trouble."

Randy Torbett after 2006 Jammin' @ Jellico

"It isn't the roll that bothers me, it is the stop at the bottom that gets me"

"My American spotter is a brute, but Tazz could not lift a pebble."

Peter Antunac describing the difference between his Aussie and American spotters.

"Holy Snappin' Dooley!!!"

"If I was any more calm I would be in a coma."

Taken from the radio conversation between my spotter Ken Blume and I during the W.E.Rock Celebrity Challenge in Las Vegas.

Ken Blume traded in his steering wheel to spot for Aaron Campbell of Low Range magazine. We heard Ken's steady voice guiding his driver flawlessly through the first course. On the second course we overheard him telling Aaron, "I'm going to take you deep and then back off a little." Later on, a little bit of over use on the skinny pedal would get them solidly centered on top of a ledge they would not recover from. After word, Aaron told us, "Ken wanted me to stop so he could stack some rocks and I thought we should just go for it. I knew in my gut that's what we should have done, but Ken is the professional and I listened to him. I should have trusted my gut."

Brad Styles comments on 2006's W.E.Rock Columbus Collision. This would be Brad's final win before retiring from professional rockcrawling.

“These are definitely the hardest courses, I have ever set.” Said W.E.Rock course designer Lil’ Rich Kline had to say. “Part of that (course design) was to push the technology, push the drivers and their will power to do these courses.” Continues Kline. “Pushing the technology and still making the courses fun to drive is the hardest part of my job.”

And to prove that I am not just a d**n gear head here are General Neyland's six maxims of College football!

1. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.

2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way - SCORE.

3. If at first the game - or the breaks - go against you, don't let up... put on more steam.

4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game.

6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made.
