rock race- indoor arena

yellowjacket · 01-15-2010, 05:38 PM

i know most of yall prefer trail riding, but theres gonna be xrra arena races soon. freedom hall in louisville on jan 30th, and rupp arena in lex on feb 16th. they promise a real course, better than last years events. rumor has it that no more middle banner seperating the side by side vehicles.

i got the invite, so feel free to cheer on your local boy.....

also gonna be sprint cars, outlaws, monster trucks(yawn) and other junk. but the rock crawling is top venue. check freedom halls website for the full scoop.its called motorsport mania or something like that.

carwash, you should come and heckle me about my hacked buggy!

yellowjacket · 01-18-2010, 07:26 PM

This event has been canceled due to impending incliment weather.

All the way at the bottom.

samb. · 01-30-2010, 03:50 PM

A friend of mine who's wife works for ticketmaster said that it was cancelled due to low ticket sales and they used the weather as an excuse, so it didn't look as bad on them.

carwash · 01-30-2010, 04:01 PM

I think it was very unpromoted, in this area at least.

samb. · 01-30-2010, 05:21 PM

Yep I only saw one or two commercials and MAYBE heard part of 1 radio ad. In fact the only reason I knew it was going to happen was because of this thread.

Then I did my research and all that and got all the info.

carwash · 01-30-2010, 05:38 PM

I wouldn't have known a thing about it unless Rob hadn't started this thread.

GPER · 01-30-2010, 08:31 PM

All of the promotion people with rock crawling suck at getting the word out. That was why the Roc failed and this isn't far. Can't they google the local 4x4 clubs and post up these events???????? They need the Rallyman to help them with this.

fabricator · 01-30-2010, 08:34 PM

hay i ran at the ROC
tore my junk up good
wouldnt mind doing that again

carwash · 01-30-2010, 08:47 PM

Yes, these people should fire their marketing directors, whoever they are.

Speaking of the Roc anyone know who owns it and if it will ever be re-opened to wheeling?

It was at a container shipping company on the south side of Columbus. The web site has vanished and I'm sure it is history.
