WEXCR 23 Tower Ridge XC R9-Flyer

We are excited to finally announce that we will be returning to the new Tower Ridge facility for our final round of racing for the 2023 season on Sunday October 1st! This property was a brand new property for us and it has only been raced on once earlier this season. There is still a lot of untouched territory here for us to do our thing as we bring you guys another awesome new layout! Expect to see plenty of elevation changes, a few tighter technical areas as well as some faster grass track sections and an optional “Pro-Hill Climb” just a short walk from one of the parking fields!

The parking area at this facility is excellent with easy off the road access and plenty of level areas for campers. As always there is no extra charge for primitive camping and just as a reminder gates close at 11pm Sat evening. See the bottom of this page for track address!

Just a reminder for those of you chasing season points:

2023 Season Championship Qualifications:

All divisions will have a 9 round points race series for the 2023 Season. To be eligible for the season ending Championship Trophy and Prizes, you must race at least 8 of the 9 races in the same class and same division and complete at least 1 lap. DNF’s and DNS’s do not count towards the required 8 races for a championship. Class championships will be determined by the rider’s best 8 event finishes. So you will only have 1 throw away races for 2023!

**NEW FOR 2023: Ties for year end class championships or other class positions will be broken by the most first place finishes, then by the most second place finishes, then by the most third place finishes, etc., until the tie is broken.**

 

Also we will now be having the strider/stacycs events at every round on the starting line right after the Adult Quads take off around 4:00pm! These will be special “exhibition” events for our little up and coming future racers that have striders and the battery powered stacycs. They will be broke down into separate events one for Striders and the other for the Stacycs. The track will consist of a small loop around our starting line area and this is not a competition event, its just for fun and to get our lil ones ready for future competition events when they can enter the peewee ranks. There is no sign up fee, (its FREE!) for this event, just show up at the start line area after the adult quads take off and await for instructions. All riders must have a bicycle style or full face helmet in order to participate!

Pit Sale

For this event we are going to have a huge WEXCR racing yard sale/swap meet! We all have tons of extra parts, gear and accessories laying around in our garages that arent doing us a bit of good and taking up space. Now is the time to gather them all up and possibly help out some fellow racers and get rid of your old stuff. All you have to do is gather up all your old gear, parts, accessories, bikes, etc… basically anything racing related that you’d like to sell, bring it to the event and setup in front of your pits. It could help make you alittle extra cash for your 2024 race machine builds while saving others some cash as well!

Riders will be required to have a transponder which is used to record your laps and laps times when you come through the finish area. Our transponders are the stick on type which go on the back side of your helmet. The transponders are a one time cost of $10.00, sorry we cant rent them out per race. It will be a one time purchase and as long as you don’t damage it, lose it or switch helmets. If you already have one of these stick on style transponders from any other race series, you are good to go as long as it passes the reader test at registration. Also there is no such thing as a “annual renewal/programming fee” with us!
