ECORS @ Windrock, TN, Nov 5, $10,000 + up for grabs!
That's right, $10,000 will be up for grabs for the unlimited Class C guys!

ECORS will have its season finale race in Oliver Springs, TN at Windrock Park. We strive to offer a nice, long, true endurance race at least once a year. We have set ourselves up to make this race our season finale every year and will be working to make it the same weekend of the year and at the same venue (we may shuffle this around as we find various suitable parks). With your support, we can continue to do this and offer a NICE payout to the top finishers

Winrock will play host to this epic event. However, this event is open only to a select few for a shot at the big $$$!

How to get in to the Windrock race:
1. be an ECORS Season member AND race at least 2 races in 2011. Right now there are exactly 2 races left until this race. If you want in AUTOMATICALLY, you need to become an ECORS season member AND race the next 2 races for an automatic invite. Check website for more info on the Schedule. www.ecors.com
2. get an invite from ECORS. Invites will be sent out to approx 10 teams.
3. qualify at one of our scheduled ECORS races. August 27 at DPG will play host to the top 5 spots for teams that are not already qualified or invited.
4. Submit a team bio and application for an invite by ECORS.
5. Depending on demand and available open spots, ECORS will have a Last Chance Qualifier the Friday before the race. So, if you don't get qualified between now and Nov 4, you'll have a chance to race with the Last Chance Qualifier.


$10,000 will be paid out to first place of the unlimited Class C. 2nd and 3rd will be paid some but not nearly like 1st place

For teams that run in Class A (stock class) and Class B (modified class), there will be a nice payout as well...

Class A first prize is $5,000
Class B first prize is $7,500

Minimum entrant numbers must be met for these payouts (well below expected # of competitors). Pay scale for min. numbers not met or if we exceed our minimum numbers will be posted on our website VERY soon. Check it out. Once we upload the payout scale and minimum numbers to the website, I'll update this thread. Also, if we have a significant number of entrants above our minimums, we'll pass those entry fees on and add to the payout, making the purse that much better!!

Entry fees will be uploaded at the same time and I'll update this thread at shortly thereafter. I guarantee it'll be affordable; expect about the same entry fees as our Harlan race last year in August.



The endurance race course will push rigs and drivers to the max. Traditionally we've tried to set courses to make racing fun and fairly easy on rigs and let driver error usually dictate damage or finishing place. This race will be a true endurance race that will test man AND machine. We'll have something that isn't easy, not short, and will take a well prepared rig and team to win. Its $10,000, we can't exactly have a cake-walk...

Camping updates, schedule updates, race info, etc. for the Nov 5 race will be posted soon on the ECORS website.


Start preparing your rigs now, this will be one to remember. As ECORS grows, we'll expand our racing on the East Coast and beyond to offer afordable racing for all types of racers with a decent payout.

Thanks all and we'll keep updating this official thread as more info is released.

Mark this on your calendar for this year and for years to come! We will maintain this finale race (and format, etc.) for years to come!

As we move forward to 2012, we'll expand into 9 races, 4 in the North, 4 in the South, and the finale. Season racers will qualify for the finale, other qualifier positions will be released as they are developed. Obviously we'll have invites and you can send in info and we'll invite you, we'll have a LCQ, and we'll have various "qualifier" races through the year either be it a speccific ECORS race or another series' race, etc.
