The idea of designating a part of the land for rock crawling has been on the table from day one DORC track was opened. However we were all too busy dealing with our main off-road section.
We now have two of our members along with those who can assist, dedicated with design and build of the crawling course.
We are hoping to have the rock crawling venue included as one of our services for the 2010 RC season.
Our thanks to Luke and Bryan, our master designers and builders for the rock crawling course.

Also I love our rock crawling logo designed by Bryan..

Please note, as construction continues, we don't mind people walking around the perimeter to see what all the fuss is about. However we ask that you and your children not to enter the course area itself unless otherwise instructed, in order to avoid someone getting hurt because they do not know what is secured yet and what is not.

Please check out our Rock Crawling photo section.

You may have seen a couple of new items added to our menu.
