HooptieX at UMC

Head to Head Rallycross for crappy cars... or whatever you got!

IT'S FINALLY ON!!! HooptieX at Utah Motorsports Campus in Salt Lake City - Saturday 10/7 - 9am to 6:30pm. 

WHAT TO EXPECT

For anyone that raced with us on the short track in Vegas in 2021, we're using the same format with some improvements. In short HEAD TO HEAD RACING against your piers in your class. How does this work? We are using the short track which is a "Lucas Oil style" course. It's wider than anything we have ever raced on and professionally managed and groomed. We will split the course into two lanes similar to Vegas 2021 and fastest car wins. Trading paint is always a possibility, and we're not encouraging that, but remember extra friction slows you down. 

FOR THOSE WHO ARE RACING OR VOLUNTEERING read on...
