The W.E. Rock rock crawling championship series blew into Utah&#8217;s Three Peaks Recreation Area on April 27 and 28. A cold front\u2014dumping plenty of rain\u2014also blew in. Precipitation had slowed to a drizzle by Saturday morning. Still, the rocks and dirt forming the already-hellish courses were now soaked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrailMud-1024x507.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrailMud-1024x507.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrailMud-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrailMud-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrailMud-1536x761.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrailMud-2048x1014.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrailMud-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>For rock crawlers, traction is everything, and wet, lichen-patched granite provides a lot less of it.

Sometimes they were simply rejected by obstacles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the keys to progressing in these conditions seemed to be persistence. However, the clock keeps ticking and persistence wasn\u2019t always enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrail-1024x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrail-1024x600.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrail-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrail-768x450.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrail-1536x900.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrail-2048x1200.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ProTrail-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Pro Mods lack some of the capabilities of the other pro classes, such as rear steering. So clearing certain obstacles is especially challenging. For instance, gate 2 on course A2 completely rejected all but one Pro Mod team. Most burned through their time and their tire tread trying to clear that gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BraxtonSmoking-1024x483.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BraxtonSmoking-1024x483.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BraxtonSmoking-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BraxtonSmoking-768x362.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BraxtonSmoking-1536x724.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BraxtonSmoking-2048x965.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BraxtonSmoking-18x8.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Finally, Cedar City\u2019s George and Lora Leyner\u2014possibly the only husband-wife team in pro rock crawling\u2014cleared it. While they got the best score on A2, they also used too much time on that gate to finish the course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, gate 1 on course A4 quickly got coated with mud and rejected half of the Pro Mods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro Trail and Unlimited drivers, while eventually able to navigate steep, boulder-strewn, slick obstacles, also used up lots of time. It wasn\u2019t unusual for a car to be scrambling through the exit point right at the 10-minute limit. Sometimes a Pro Trail or Unlimited team even failed to finish in time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/K-Angled-1024x462.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/K-Angled-1024x462.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/K-Angled-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/K-Angled-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/K-Angled-1536x692.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/K-Angled-2048x923.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/K-Angled-18x8.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Other Obstacles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Slick, muddy conditions were not the only obstacle some teams faced. The first gate on course A2 was not only wet, but seriously slanted. So much so that every crawler, from every class, had at least a rear tire slide into the downhill cone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denver\u2019s Josh Patt\u2014a strong competitor\u2014was struggling to get his engine running right. When his buggy started its downhill slide on that gate, Josh asked for power to control the slide and got\u2026almost nothing. Instead, the car performed a slow-motion roll onto its side. The terrain prevented spotter David Binkerd from righting the car, and needing outside help meant they were done on that course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JoshRolled-1024x546.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JoshRolled-1024x546.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JoshRolled-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JoshRolled-768x409.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JoshRolled-1536x818.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JoshRolled-2048x1091.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JoshRolled-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>At the same event in 2023, Josh had a serious driveline failure that sidelined him for the day. This year it was a bad camshaft position sensor. When asked how he felt about competing at Three Peaks, Josh summed up his feelings with, \u201cCedar City is my kryptonite.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Hembel of Mad Cow Racing\u2014also a top competitor\u2014had just purchased a new car, and only had about two hours total driving time in it. The machine turned out to have transmission venting issues, as in venting vital fluid at inopportune times. Loss of transmission fluid prevented Hembel, with spotter Miles Kimberly, from completing course A2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"622\" src=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JohnStuck-1024x622.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JohnStuck-1024x622.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JohnStuck-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JohnStuck-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JohnStuck-1536x933.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JohnStuck-2048x1244.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/utahmotornews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JohnStuck-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Transmission issues came back to bite the Mad Cow team on the last course of the day. John and Miles successfully cleared the steep bonus gate on A4. But with the car nosed over, the transmission refused to power the front wheels out of the rock seam at the bottom.

However, you can see the same teams compete in other events. The Delta Classic Rock Crawl takes place later this month, May 24 &#8211; 25, at the Millard County Fairgrounds.
