We have quite a few big events coming up, so be sure to scroll down...

Alaska State Rock Crawling Championships

The grand finale of the crawling season is upon us! Saturday will be the actual comp and Sunday we'll just be a "fun run" so bring whatever you got; Comp 2.2s, scalers, Supers, whatever. We've got a ton of sponsors, so there should be some nice scwag to be given away, KTVA will be there to cover the event, free BBQ, all kinds of cool stuff. More details here.

Round 3 of the Alaska Championship Series

It's that time again. Round #3 of the ACS will be underway this weekend, August 30th and 31st. It should be a helluva good time. We will be needing some help on Friday, so if you're bored come on down and grab a shovel! Weeeeee!

Race Results

Uploaded results for the past three weeks. AMB recently changed the formatting for race results, so it's a little cryptic. I'm working on figuring out the new software to get the results a little more organized, but it will take some time. So until then, you'll just have to get out your decoder ring and decypher them yourself...

Video Footage

Scott was kind enough to shoot some video at both the The Swamp this past weekend and out at McHugh for the crawler competion. He got some great footage... More videos here.

Round 2 of the Alaska Championship Series

Round 2 of the Alaska Championship Series is scheduled for this upcoming weekend; August 2nd & 3rd. This is a 2-day event featuring racers from across the state. We will be running the usual 1/8 scale buggies and truggies and most likely a 1/10 open stadium truck class (nitro/electric). Novices are encouraged to attend. If you've never raced and you have a 1/10 scale electric or 1/10 scale gas vehicle, feel free to come participate. First time racers race for FREE. Entry fee is $15 for your first entry and $5 for each additional entry. Race fees for 1/10 scale class will only be $10 unless it's your first race, of course.

We have been working steadily on the track to get it prepared for this weekend with a new layout and, weather permitting, we will be adding some new jumps as well.

Every Sunday we will be racing down at the South Anchorage Sports Park. We will be racing in Soldotna on July 12/13th and in one weekend in September so no local races on those weekends. You are more than welcome to join us in Soldotna! It's a helluva track down there! For more info on Soldotna click here.

July 12/13th - Alaska Championship Race Series

We will be holding a 4-race points series between AROARA here in Anchorage and the Kenai Dirt Runners club in Soldotna/Kenai. The first race will be held in Soldotna on their absolutely killer track on July 12 & 13th. Racing down there is worth the trip! Many of us will be carpooling to help save on gas. For the schedule, click here or call Ken Best @ 230-0139 for more information.

Crawler Competitions

Congratulations to these guys and thanks to Rocky for putting this thing on. It was run smooth and everyone had a great time. And for the record, a week before this, we ran into Patrick at McHugh and his rig would even run forward and then he turns it all around and manages to pull out a win.
