W.E. ROCK :: U.S. Nationals Qualifiers
Qualifying for the Grand Nationals is one of the toughest things to do in the sport of Rock Crawling. It
takes everything that happens at a regular event from driving the most insane terrain in the world with
the most capable vehicles in the world to winning an event to doing well throughout the entire series.
It takes perseverance of hundreds of roadblocks, cliffs, and broken parts to show that a team is dedicated
and reliable to run the series, let alone do well enough to qualify. These guys run all over the country
and are now part of the exclusive club to fight in the Grand National Championships (GNC's).
The 2008 year differs from the years past in qualifying for the GNC's in that now W.E.ROCK mandates that
teams must get a Top 9 finish in their respective series in order to get an invite. This means that the
top teams will really be battling for the National Title. W.E.ROCK also has a Champions Provision for
those teams that won the Bi-Annual World Championships in 2006 and lastly, W.E.ROCK has 6 positions that
are Wild Cards Spots.
Below are listed all of the Teams that have qualified minus the Wild Cards which will be presented within one week.
Any ties are determined first by the number of wins each team takes, then by the last event finish.
