The Largest Short Course Racing Series in the Pacific North-West is back for its 3rd year! The PRCR ROCKSTAR/AKA Short Course Series is set to begin on Friday, November 4th at Portland R/C Raceway. The series will once again be held on Friday nights with 2 races each month for the 3 months. The track will open on Friday's from 12:00pm to 6:45pm for practice and racing will start right at 7:00pm. The race entry will be $15.00 per class. This will be a 6 race series with 2 throw outs. 1 bonus point will be awarded for TQ. 1 bonus point also be awarded for every race attended.

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.
