As for the racing, it is going to be on a .6 mile closed loop course built with the natural desert terrain in Redmond, Oregon. The rock and dirt make it a fast yet challenging track.

[Blue Coyote]

Thanks for the encoraging words Dirty, working on what was started...You are welcome any time, Roo has your seat in the VIP section warmed up...

COORP is the real deal, very similar to a Lucas Regional event, great family atmosphere, great racing for Trophy Karts to Pro2 / Trophy Trucks.

What one heck of a race at the Central Oregon Offroad Race Park round #1 in Redmond OR on April 27th. A record 24 SxS entries - 20 in the stock class and 7 in the unlimited class! A total of 53 entries including trucks and buggies.
Representing the Mavericks were K Goodrich and the PacNORE.com Blue Coyote.
The PacNORE girls have 1000's of photos to go thru, but here are some of my favorites:

Providing RzR support...

This is why my main rails are 1.75x.120 DOM and the doors 1.50x.095 tube....

Race report:
1997 PacNORE/ ProCaliber / Devious Powersports / Mid Valley Metals / Cam Am Maverick had a great race. We arrived Friday at the COORP track in Redmond OR on Friday and did some final tuning. With 20 SxS in the Limited SxS class we had work to do. With so many entries, they ran 2 sets of heats. First heat race we finished 2nd. Heat 2 had an invert but we still finished 3rd. The main had 18 entries - we started 6th, and after 15 crazy laps we finished 5th, including the dramatic final turn excitement with a RzR that tried to hug the inside (and did not, we kept him upright...). The Devious Powersports Pro Armour 5pt belts kept me safe in the car, and the over built doors kept the RzR out of the driver area. The Maverick performed flawlessly, plenty of power. Shocks- they will be heading to CT Racing so we can handle the rough stuff so we can take the podium at the next race...
It was good to meet up with Chis of Devious, Murry with Muzzys and K Goodrich.

If you live in the NW and are looking to race, then COORP is your place - with classes from Trophy Kart to Pro2/ Unlimited truck there is a class for everyone.

Wouldn't call it rzr support, you pulled a good draw race 1, race 2 pushed you around the track for 8 laps, Erwin and I pushed pushed you for 12 in the main, I definitely, wouldn't call it rzr support, I'm no pro but I don't think blocking is good racer etiquette. Great day and great racing overall. Looking forward to next time !

 

[Seaver]

Wow, awesome turn out guys, I think there are a few more in the Boise area that will be interested in this.

Maybe you need to be a bit more aggressive and learn to pass. Short course is all about being aggressive.

Lol, guess you missed the final turn before the finish. !

Yes sir! Shaping up to be the biggest class now. $10,000 purse for the Pro-Production 1000cc UTV class. 4 races, so $2500 per race to that class alone. First race this sunday.
