About this event
Join us at the second annual Spokane Showdown Rallycross! We're going to be racing on a different part of the venue with a banked oval track (paved) and gravel infield.
This event is a single day competition with an option to add fun runs. Fun runs are a 2nd full day of time-only racing, including a work assignment, where no points are accrued and no trophies are awarded.
Read this before signing up for Fun Runs: When you sign up for fun runs, you're putting your name on a list indicating that you want to include them in your registration. One week after registration opens, we will officially add fun runs for as many drivers as we can based on the registration numbers. You will be charged for fun runs at that time, if there is space for you. We are making this change because we want to ensure that all drivers who want to participate in race day are able to and then, if space allows, open fun runs.
IF YOU SIGN UP FOR RACE DAY ONLY, YOU ONLY HAVE TO ATTEND A SINGLE DAY. You do not need to attend both days unless you sign up for fun runs.
Spectators Welcome! Join us on Saturday, Sunday or both to see competitors with all different types of cars and skills compete on the same track. Entry is $10 at the gate, cash only.

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.

- Practice good sportsmanship at all times.
- Register for and compete in the appropriate class for their vehicle. It is the driver’s responsibility to know the correct class based on the rules and vehicle classifications set forth in the Rallycross Rules.
