First annual Battle on the Bullring at CRC Raceway!

This race is going to be a little something different from the normal race format. How?, you ask. Well, NOBODY makes the main! Racers will be divided into ladder style Semi-finals, Quarter-finals, etc based on qualifying. Odds on one side, Evens on the other. Everybody has to race their way in! TQ will still receive an award for being the #1 qualifier, but it’s quite possible that you could TQ and then not make the main!

If any of you watch IFMAR or ROAR Nitro races, this is how it is done there. After watching this year’s ROAR Nitro Buggy and Truggy Nats in TX on liverc.com, we thought to ourselves that this would be a pretty dialed concept for a carpet oval race. And here we are!

Saturday, Oct 19 will be open practice from 11am – 4:45pm with a normal club race format (2 heats and a main) as a warm-up starting at 5pm. That should get us done at approximately 9pm on Saturday night (give or take) so everybody can get a good night’s rest and we can start bright and early.

Sunday, Oct 20 The doors will open at 8am, qualifying starts at 10:30 sharp. Open track from 8 – 10 with preference going to people who weren’t here Saturday. Meaning – if there are a number of guys that get here Sunday morning that need to get on the track, then cars that were here on Saturday will get parked so the Sunday arrivals can get a few minutes of track time. If the track is sitting there empty, then Saturday’s drivers will be allowed on the track.

Saturday night’s club race – if you are signed up for Sunday, then the club race is only $5.
