Here is the current 2013 Schedule of UTV races!
In an effort to keep rigs togehter more, ECORS will be reworking the UTV courses to minimize or eliminate any rocks to the best of our ability depending on venue. Obviously, Harlan, KY can't be eliminated of rocks, but we will work hard to route the course in a mannger that reduces the amount of rocks you guys have to race. For the crowd that likes rocks, we will have some bypasses/short cuts through rocks on some of the races!
March 23, Dayton, TN
May 4, Great American Park, Auburn, AL
May 25, Memorial Weekend Timed race at Harlan, KY
June 8, UTV only race, Zoo City MX park, Asheboro, NC
July 6, Alabama
Aug 24, The Flats, Marion, NC
*Sept 21, Line Mtn 7-miler PA
Sept 21, UTV only race, at Uwharrie Off-road Training Center, Uwharrie, NC
Nov 16, Harlan, KY
* The Line Mountain race is a non-ECORS race, put on by the Line Mountain 4 Wheelers. ECORS racers will sign up on the ECORS website as normal, but point availability is 75% of the published point table.
Races listed above in bold are UTV only events! All other events will be combined UTVs and Jeeps/trucks/buggies.
** ECORS will offer bonus points for ECORS participation in other events in which ECORS has partnered with the organizers.
These include:
Uwharrie Spring Jamboree UORTC 4x4 games
Uwharrie Fall Jamboree UORTC 4x4 games
Memorial Day weekend race at Verda Fields in Harlan, KY (This race will be organized and run by ECORS but specific event rules, classes, etc will be posted independent of the current Series rules and classes).
The Memorial Day race in Harlan will be open to most any 4x4 vehicle and UTVs, not just ECORS racers. Rules will be VERY basic, basically the vehicle in good condition and the driver(s) must have helmet and long pants. The Verda Fields area has jumps, obstacles, etc and is independent of the typical Black Mountain trail system. The race will be run, 1 vehicle at a time on course, making 1 lap for time. We will organize it much like a tournament where everyone will make 2 runs (or more depending on time and entries) and the top 50% will advance to the next round, then 2 runs (or more depending on entries and time) and the top 50% will then advance and so on and so forth until we have 2 rigs battleing it out for first place! Entry will be cheap, sub $100. We are working on a sponsor or two to add to the prizes that we already have.
Additionally, ECORS has posted a schedule for its UTV Series, which will have 7 total events for 2013! Some of these events will be run along with the trucks on the schedule above but we have added 2 dates that are UTV only event dates. These UTV specific events will be on venues that offer well groomed <NOBR>courses</NOBR> with VERY limited to zero rocks. Basically, these will be go-fast type racing venues for the UTV guys. The dates that coordinate with the ECORS truck dates will have a vast combination of terrain from well groomed courses, cross country type courses, and <NOBR>technical courses</NOBR>. We are laying them out to stay away from boulders and rocks so the UTVs don't suffer breakage due to rocks, etc.
June 8 at the Uwharrie Off Road Training Center in Uwharrie, NC. This will be a cross country type of track, about 1.25 miles long. There are no rocks on this course! It is right at the entrance to the Uwharrie OHV system and directly across hwy 109 from the Eldorado Outpost, the bussiest gas station/convenience store in Uwharrie! This will be a high traffic event with lots of spectators! The property is 100% fenced in offering security for racers and has fantastic parking and a great pit area, even for long trucks and trailers. Spectator parking is easy and access to the track is very easy. Spectators can see about 75% of the track from one main area and access to the other areas is easy. Primitive camping is available for spectators and racers. More details and info to come.
September 21 the ECORS UTV series will visit Zoo City MX Park in Asheboro, NC. The park will groom the existing MX track to suit the needs of the UTVs and offer banked turns, table top jumps, and easy access pits. We have added a woods section to challenge the teams on their technical driving skills. There are no rocks on this course! The park is located adjacent to Interstate 73 in Asheboro, offering great advertising and spectator turnout. Pits will be located on an old 1/8 mile paved drag strip adjacent to the course. Parking for spectators is available on a gravel and paved parking area and is directly adjacent to the MX course, offering easy entertaiinment without much work to see a majority of the course! Primitive camping is available for spectators and racers. This course is estimated at about 4 miles long. More details and info to come!
We hope that everyone makes plans to race and come out to the events for 2013! ECORS has some big plans in the works and is working hard to be the #1 Series in the Southeast! As each event gets close, I'll post up specific event info.
