Getting to Know Kelly Young
Read the Q and A
Fresh off the rocky trails and perilous obstacles of the
2007 World Extreme Rock Crawling Series is 4WDH webmaster, Kelly Young, and her
crew, Team 311. She returns after a
competition full of adventure, surprises, and more than a few memorable
moments, including a day one run that saw a 10-minute course completed in 45
seconds, and some hard fought determination after a wheel malfunction in day
two.
An employee of 4WDH since 2000, Kelly has developed a
profound appreciation for all things 4 wheel drive and rock crawling related,
and has been an active participant in a number of competitions. Much to our delight, she was more than happy
to give us her thoughts on being a competitive rock crawler, tips for
beginners, and being a female in what is primarily a male sport.
