Its almost that time again!
The next ECORS race will be at The Flats in Marion, NC.
The Rock Corps club has generously allowed ECORS to utilize the facility, once again. The locals come out in waves and we are proud to come out and put on a show for them. We are running some radio ads to bring even more locals out to watch you all put on a show!!!
We have even changed up the format for Friday to draw in an even bigger crowd (see below).
This terrain is very rocky and steep with limited passing areas and speed, but is fun for everyone. Its a tough course, even when its dry! If you want a challenge and technical racing with a good amount of local spectators, this is the race for you! Its easy to get to and is less than 1/4 mile off of Exit 85 on Interstate 40 (right beside the Hampton Inn in Marion, NC)! Pit areas are well maintained and access by large trucks and trailers is easy.
Camping is available for spectators and racers!
Pre-running begins Friday mid-morning. Qualifying is Saturday morning! See schedule below.
Registration will open online at 1:00pm EST on July 24, 2013 and will close at 5:00pm EST on Aug 22, 2013.
