MCRA Challenge Series

The MCRA has put together an exciting venue for the local racers. We call it the I-70 Challenge Series. At every trackday at approx 11:30 we will hold Race 1 and Approx 4:30 we will hold Race 2. That is right! We said RACES!! Hot lap, grid and RACE!

1. PURPOSE:
The purpose of the I-70 Challenge Series is to provide a low cost venue for the local racers to race and promote an easier transition for the track day riders to become racers.

2. LICENSE AND GENERAL INFORMATION:
All riders MUST have a current race license from an accredited race organization to enter the series. All riders will be required to show proof along with a current photo ID at the time of registration. Students of the MCRA Race License Clinic (that weekend) will receive a "by" and be able to register for races without purchasing a race license. They will need a race license for future registrations.
