CORR Series

I know that three time champ John Greaves lives in Abrams, Wi and there is a corr race every year at Crandon International Raceway in Crandon, Wi. He rides alot of the local motocross races as well with his son CJ, whatever good that does for you..

I think they had a race in Primm, NV last year. Other than that I think it's just Pomona and Chula Vista. Very cool racing that's for sure. I've been to a few here in Chula Vista.

Well their TV package is great for a little series. They have live coverage on NBC and Speed.

I do see it getting big, and traveling out of CA more. What happened to the series that used to run in the Mid-west?

CORR was bought a few years ago and moved to the west coast. All of the rounds this year were held at Chula Vista, Pomona, or Primm. After CORR moved west all the racers in the mid-west started WSORR which is similar.

The Baldwin's (CORR owners) have spent millions trying to grow the series, and have done a great job. Their TV package is awesome, but cost them alot of money. They also develped the Chula Vista track just for their series.

As far as money goes, I know that there is good purse money for the pro classes, and because of the TV package it has attracted some big sponsors. But its also a very expensive sport. All the top teams have at least 1 semi, and the budgets for the competitive truck teams are millions of dollars a year.

I think it has at least a few more years of good growth unless the economy gets any worse. Alot of the sponsors are tied to the aftermarket auto industry and that sector has taken a huge hit.

And if you haven't been to one of these races in person, I would suggest you check it out. As good as the TV coverage is, you really don't get a true feel for how fast those truck really are, plus there is just something about 20 trucks with 800hp screaming down the front straight right in front of you.

i gotta say, i've caught the serious CORR bug...... how much $$ to get in at a base level?? take an old F150, meet the safety rules, wheels/tires/ other base upgrades?? or just look to buy a used CORR rig??

It's as moto as it gets outside of bikes and ATV racing.

Its like supercross with 800 HP trucks Gotta see it live

It is way more expensive than moto, but it is safer for sure. You cant bring out your old f-150 and race, you need big money to buy any of the vehicles except the single buggy class which is the least expensive which would cost you at least $15000 to get into, rich mans sport for sure

I prefer MDR, but CORR is cool. Baldwins work hard, thats for sure.

CORR races are a lot of fun (TTs sound like Fountains)

There definitely is not a lot of money, mainly a rich man's sport. It is possible to make it big time, but you definitely have to do some major ball handling on the way.

It does seem to be growing, tho. I do what I can to support the industry.

Check out Terribles place in Huntington Beach.These guys def know whats up.
