Our first big race series!!

2017-2018 PDX RC Underground's ROCKSTAR Winter Off-Road Series!

Portland's most successful off-road series is back, this time at PDX RC Underground starting December 1st!

History:
The ROCKSTAR Short Course Series was first started by Kyosho America/Team Orion USA Team Manager Joe Pillars, ROCKSTAR's Joey Lancaster, & Portland R/C Raceway's Owner Jim Dunlap 8 years ago. This Friday night series brought out many of the best Short Course racers from all around the North-West which produced countless epic battles and great times!

After a 1-year break, Yokomo USA/Team Orion USA Team Manager Joe Pillars & PDX RC Underground's Owner Kevin Focht have brought back this fun and competitive series to Portland.

The series will once again be held on Friday nights with the track open from 3:00pm to 6:45pm for practice with racing starting right at 7:00pm. The race entry will be $15.00 per class. This will be a 5 race series with 2 throw outs. 1 bonus point will be awarded for TQ.

We will run 2 5-Minute Qualifiers, 5-Minute Bump-Ups and Single 5-Minute A-Mains to help finish at a decent hour. We will resort after the first round of qualifying to allow for better racing. The top 6 drivers after qualifying is complete will go straight into the A-Main with a 2 car bump in the lower mains.

Series Classes:
1. Novice
2. Stock Buggy (17.5 Motor / 0-Timing & 0-Boost Mode)
3. Pro Stock Buggy (17.5 Motor / 0-Timing & 0-Boost Mode)
4. 13.5 Stadium Truck
5. 13.5 4wd Buggy
6. 2wd Modified Buggy
7. Stock SC (17.5 Motor / 0-Timing & 0-Boost Mode)

Series Race Schedule:
1 - December 1st
2 - December 29th
3 - January 26th
4 - February 16th
5 - March 23rd - Awards Banquet Race

Series Points System:
1 Point for TQ
1st Place - 50
2nd Place - 49
3rd Place - 48
4th Place - 47
5th Place - 46 and so on…

Awards will be given out to the Top 10 in each class at the end of the Series. You must race at least 3 races to qualify for the overall awards!

I though I saw that you have Friday night practices, is that true, would be a good time to test our trucks on your track.

Friday is the first of our Rockstar series races, so this friday is out. Follow us on FB to keep up on things going on at the track. Gonna have to get the dirt off of those to race on the track, but if they work, we will run a class. Looks like fun!
