Rallycross Rules

New Competitor Guide

Rallycross Novice School

Getting started in Rallycross is about more than just learning to race. In this class, we first introduce competitors the basics of the sport – rules, reading cones, working the course and preparation. Then we move into car control and race technique with Dirtfish lead instructor, Nate Tennis. The first part of the day is spent in a classroom setting then we take what you have learned in class out onto the course. You will run through stations that are dissected course elements to give you the ability to practice with Dirtfish and MoDD instructor feedback. The day wraps up with a mini rallycross course where you can put all of the elements together. All in-car practice is in your own race vehicle.

Rallycross Advanced School

Open to competitors who have raced in 5+ rallycross events, have taken our novice class or another Dirtfish course, this class is designed to teach you advanced car control techniques and how to put multiple elements/skills together on race. This class has a short in-class portion to discuss the techniques and elements that will be practiced. The in-car portion of the class will give drivers the chance to practice complex elements with Dirtfish and MoDD instructor feedback. The class size is limited so that we can provide a higher instructor to student ratio and make sure you get plenty of coaching with these advanced skills. The day wraps up with a mini rallycross course where you can put all of the elements together. All in-car practice is in your own race vehicle.

Practice Session

Interested in getting a little time Dirtfish’s unique (and very well cared for) surface before race day? We’ll be opening up a practice session to give competitors a chance to get seat time on a mock course. Participants will be split into two groups for a standard run/work setup. Each group will get a 60 minute practice session where you can run as little or much as you like.

Join us for our first event at the Albany Motocross Park in Albany, Oregon! This venue has great elevation changes and a dirt drag strip that are sure to make the course fun and exciting. The event will be split over two days, with half of the classes racing on Saturday and half on Sunday.

Spectator Info

The Linn County regulations have remained such that we are able to permit guests and spectators. All guests are required to wear a mask and maintain proper physical distancing. It is $10 to enter, paid at the gate (cash only).
