The first event, Crawlapalooza ran it’s for it’s 4th year of being part of the USCRRA series and was held once again in beautiful Disney, OK. A relative newcomer from Colorado, Josh Hicks (Hoppa) took home the honors in the 2.2 class while Paul Waldrep (rock hard) from the Crawler Mafia cleaned house in the 1.9 class. Ty Thompson (tctz28) from Lincoln, NE put on a driving clinic with his super and took home the gold in that class.
