2015 Colorado Rally Championship
Mission statement
The goal of the series is to have fun and mimic full size rally cars and events. The tracks are tight with technical corners and constantly changing conditions. This series runs in all weather conditions, if it is safe to drive to the track there will be a race. With this series we strive to have a cohesive means to fulfill our racing dreams while on the budget of racing RC rally cars. Participants are encouraged to go above and beyond with regards to scale appearance.
Rules and Classes
There are no tire tread limitations. Any tire can be used as long as it uses a 1.9 wheel and is for “cars”.

2015 Series Scoring and Points:
Race days will start with a round robin style event. Every driver will race every other driver in the class. This will result in an overall standing. In other words, the wins & loses from the round robin will place drivers in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc…. Once the round robin is complete and drivers are ranked for the day, we will start the finals. The finals will be a single elimination style event in which 1st place will be paired with last place, 2nd place will race 2nd to last place, and so on. The final bracket will produce the race’s overall ranking and therefore each driver’s event points. Each driver’s event points will be tallied for the overall series championship.
Round Robin bonus points:
The top three drivers of the round robin will receive bonus points for the day. Bonus points will be tracked for the series and will not dictate the winner for the class that day.
1st- 3 bonus points
2nd- 2 bonus points
3rd- 1 bonus point
Single Elimination points are as follows:
1st- 25 points
