We are making some improvements for 2012! We are adding four new classes! We now have a 60+ class and an Unclassified Class that will run in the "C" race. The Unclassified race is a no points/no trophy class. It is for those who are not C riders, but would like to run in the shorter event. Examples would be riders who need to ride in that time slot, don't feel up to riding the full two hour event, or are tough guys and want to ride both races. Entry fee will only be $20 for riders also riding the Quad or A/B race.

The Team Race will run in the A/B event and the same entry fee will apply each rider. More details to follow. And lastly, we will now have a Women's beginner class that will run with the Sat. kids events. This is an entry level class for beginners.

We are pleased to announce the completion of our schedule and the addition of a new venue to our series; PPIR Raceway. Not to be confused with Fountain Creek which has been mistakenly called this name in the past due to its close proximity, this event does actually take place at the PPIR Nascar facility.

This is an all new course, never before has a motorcycle laid tracks on this property. You can expect a faster, desert type course with lot's of 2-4th gear virgin sand wash's, some ruggedly challenging hills and crevices, and a few wide open sections to tie them all together.

We are really excited about our partnership with PPIR and think you guys are gonna love this event!

Round one at Aztec is just four weeks away, have you been practicing and training? We're looking forward to a competitive season.......almost time to get it on!!!!

****Updates and Random Notes****

Please note that we have had to change the June event to the 24th due to a conflict at the facility. This was unavoidable, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Also, for you kid racers, your events are on Saturday's. This allows us to give everyone proper track time.

Camping is allowed at all our facilities, so please make a weekend of it if you like.

Sammy Joe Racing will be on hand providing concessions again at all our events, big thanks to those guys!

We will have some great looking shirts and hoodies for sale this season. Looks to be $30 for hoodies and $15 for T's. Will have a pic up soon.

CORCS is always in need of volunteer help. If you are able to help w/set-up, tear down or during the event, we'd love to hear from you. We don't operate on a profit basis, our motive is to provide an affordable racing experience and channel much of the profits, if any, back into the off-road community. Last year we donated to COHVCO, the Trails Preservation Society and contributed to some local racers funds for the ISDE. We didn't charge a membership fee, yet provided a year end BBQ and awards free of charge.

For the most part, we are just a group of friends who operate on a club type basis with these goals. If you'd like to be a part of that, or can help just at one, or select events drop me a note. gp@corcs.net

Thanks to everyone who showed up to our opening event of 2012 at Aztec. We had a great turn out and hope this is the trend as we move through the season.

A big thanks to my crew..........it can't happen without them and their dedication. Please thank them when you see them out there. They like beer also! And special thanks this time around to a few guys who just showed up Sat. morning unsolicited to help pound stakes and tie ribbon: Ryan Moser, Sam Achord and Kolt Ross. The help is really appreciated guys! You're on our "A" list!

Congratulations to Honda mounted Shane Descenzo on another overall win! It didn't come easy this time though, as he had ISDE star Ian Blythe and his KTM 350 to contend with today. The two locked into an epic battle, running wheel to wheel for nine laps. Descenzo had the early advantage before being overtaken by Blythe on lap three. Blythe was slowly increasing his lead until lap nine, when Descenzo pitted for fuel. This gave Blythe a huge advantage heading into the next lap, but that was shortly erased the following lap when he also pitted. Descenzo managed to make up the gap, following right behind Blythe as he exited the pits and once again, the battle was on, but short lived this time as Blythe is reported to have lost his shift lever and had to pit to have a new one installed. That was all she wrote, as Descenzo cruised to an easy win after that. Blythe held on to second with Kawasaki mounted Kyle Vibbert rounding at the podium.

Other notables are Codie Vahsholtz, who topped the Open A class on his brand new Husky, bringing home some Husky contingency along the way.

John Angel topped the Quads again, but this time he had to overcome a mid pack start. It took him a few laps to overcome early leaders Tom Smith and Dan Dubois, but once out front it was clear sailing for the defending CORCS champion. Smith held on for second, while Mike Thompson worked his way to third.

Results are posted.....but you probably went there first anyway...Ha Ha! We'll give y'all till Tues at 9 pm to alert us of any corrections....missed laps etc.

Thanks to everyone for coming out and joining us. We had an outstanding turnout, no injuries and great course conditions. The starts were quite dusty, but it cleared quickly and it was smooth sailing after that. The course held the moisture from the Thur. rain quite nicely. Special thanks to Dean Semus and Mike Kunz who came out and gave us a much needed hand this weekend......you guys were awesome!

Congratulations go out to Ian Blythe on the overall and Pro motorcycle win today. Blythe went wire to wire for a decisive victory with the Schafer brothers, Cody and Kyle finishing second and third respectively. Colt Ross motored his Gas Gas to the Open A win, finishing in fourth overall.

The C class overall went to Sup. Sen rider Larry Jamison, while Addison Mueller rolled in at second overall for the Open class win, narrowly edging out race long leader Alec Morefield on the last lap.

The race of the day had to be the quads though. You can pretty much bet your doughnuts that John Angel is going to win any given Quad event, but it wasn't to be this time. Angel's clutch hand was a little overanxious on the line and he stalled it, getting him off the line last with a big job ahead of him. He managed to pass his way into second place by mid-race, but still had a ways to go to reel in Yamaha mounted Tom Smith. It all came down to the last lap, with Angel breathing down his neck, Smith wicked it up for one last lap, holding off the CORCS champion and relegating him to second place on the day. Luke Boddy put in a solid ride to round out the podium in third.

That puts a wrap on round two. Next Race: Round Three at RAM on 5/22
