Professional Rockcrawlers Organization (Prorock)With roots that stretch back to crawling's first organized events, Bob Hazel at ProROCK has been there from the beginning. Operated by the off-road and 4x4 enthusiasts at Sports in the Rough!, the 2003 Superlift ProROCK National Championship Series is comprised of five dates in five different states. Thanks to the support of Superlift, BFGoodrich, and others, ProROCK contestants can earn more than $100,000 in series championship money and additional cash and contingency awards. Groups are separated into the no-holds-barred Trophy class and, for more mild street-legal machinery, the Modified Stock class.

United Rock-crawling Off-Road Challenge (UROC)Thanks to solid venues, an increased contingency program, and the return of last year's hottest event, UROC is-pardon the expression-on a roll. Led by President Craig Stumph, the organization has series events in its home state of Utah and two in nearby New Mexico. UROC now has a strong contingency presence that includes BFGoodrich and will continue its work on land use and pubic land issues. Best of all, the group will once again organize the World Championship Super Crawl in September. Last season's inaugural Super Crawl was a huge success and hailed as the largest crawling event ever held.

California Rockcrawling & Off-Road Championship Series (CalROCS)
No doubt about it, Rick Klein at CalROCS is working hard to be a strong force in the sport's future. In 2003, the group is expanding its influence by becoming a member of the RCAA sanctioning body and is now responsible for America's western and mountain regions. Not content to have one series to run, CalROCS also has the North American Rock Crawlers Association, known as NARRCA by CalROCS, under its expanding umbrella. Beyond that, the CalROCS effort has also grown to include co-promotion of Northern California's venerable VORRA off-road and desert racing series.

Eastern Rock Crawling Championship (ERoCC)Billed as the first and largest rockcrawling series held exclusively east of the Mississippi, ERoCC is helping expand the sport to new audiences. Founded under the Trail Keepers Foundation by Tim Rettig, this group is well organized and is home to 2002 SuperCrawl champion Ken Shupe. It is based in Ohio, but holds most of its 2003 events on the challenging rocks of Jellico, Tennessee. Be sure to keep your eye on ERoCC and its very bright future.
