Toss up between Overland Challenge and Score style...

I'm surprised there isn't an option for Trail racing...

What would you consider "trail racing"? Is that like a fast rock crawl or rock racing or... maybe more like a timed trophy challenge?

Overland would be my choice. Mixes it up and you need more than just driving skills.

I mean Trial, not trail.  Sorry about that.  :)

Kind of an off-road version of auto crossing.

Not too many votes or views.... Hmmm. I wonder what would make people more inclined to participate. Prize money, TV, team competition?

Anyone have any thoughts?

i would think most people would like to do those races. but it takes lots of money time and you need sponsers,mech,spare parts. i like the simple stuff where i'll i need is tires a lift some dirt rocks mud. the mountain fire road are fun. then when i get home wash it park and ready for the next trip.
