About this event
Spend your Labor Day weekend at Hannegan Speedway in Bellingham for a fun rallycross event! With multiple courses, day and night racing and on-site camping, this is always a great weekend. And with the holiday, you still have a day to recover from all the fun before heading back to work.
Competition will take place over two days with day racing and night racing on Day 1 then one more day race session on Day 2. Runs from all three sessions count and awards will take place at the end of competition on Day 2.
Note: The format of this race will be different in 2024 from the past few years. The classes are not split over two days anymore and there are no fun run sessions. Instead, everyone will race together for the full day and a half. If you raced with us prior to 2021, this is the format we started with and we’re bringing it back!

Definition
A rallycross is a motorsports event where vehicles race on a course delineated by cones on generally unpaved, mostly flat surfaces. Elapsed time is tracked by the organizer with time-based penalties assessed for actions such as missed cones and driving off-course. Scoring is the accumulation of timed runs plus penalties where the lowest time wins. One car is released at a time with course workers monitoring cones and penalties.
Rallycross events are structured as a run-work format where competitors race during their class session and work the course when another class races.
