After attending my first rock crawl off-road competition, all I can say is “Wow!” Pictures don’t do it justice, and even great rock-crawling videos fall short.

Kart racing is a thrilling motorsport that involves getting small, but sophisticated, open-wheel cars around a track as fast as possible, while fending off competitors trying to do it even faster. It offers huge benefits to participants from all backgrounds and ages.
I witnessed my first kart racing on April 8th, during Race #1 of the Utah Motorsports Campus Kart Center (UMCKC) championship series.
The Tuachan Center for the Arts is tucked into a beautiful red-rock amphitheater just outside of St. George, Utah. On Saturday, April 22nd, that beauty was further enhanced by vintage and late-model Porsches participating in an IRPCA Show & Shine car show.
Top professional and amateur drivers in the highly-competitive world of rock crawling will descend on the Three Peaks Recreation Area, just outside Cedar City, Utah on May 6th & 7th.
