Central Oregon's Off-Road Short Course Racing Explodes With Record Number Of UTV Entries

June 2013 Racing

Redmond, OR - After a successful first round to the 2013 season, boasting almost 30 UTVs and strong Unlimited Mini Trucks and Full Size Trucks classes, the Central Oregon Off-Road Short Course Racing series looks to carry its momentum into the immediate future. 

Round two of the Central Oregon Off-Road Race Park season to be held June 29 will see more berm-busting action at the base of the beautiful Cascade Mountains, which are famous for their pristine lakes and fly fishing.

 While the racing is sure to be heated, Central Oregon is probably one of the nicest places to be racing this time of year. With temperatures likely to be in the 80s, racers from the southwest should consider a summer road trip to capture a glimpse of what Central Oregon off-road short course racing has to offer.

COORP has also announced a new UTV/SxS 800cc or smaller class for stock and unlimited UTVs, which should create some intense battles.

  • Stock Side x Side: Carl Marcum
