You ever notice there is always that guy on every trail ride. You know the one who you watch his rig, at first you think its a POS, or not nearly as good as yours....then by the time the day is over you are wanting to give away your Coilovers and bolt on some leaf springs.
That is Driver skill....
And one thing that has amazed me is the varying level of driver skill competing in the offroad race community, anyone who has been to an ECORS race can clearly recognize it, some have, some not so much.
Then last week I was talking to an old friend who had been to the race at the Flats but hadnt been able to catch any other ones this year, and he made the comment there is no skill there just whomever is willing to thrash their junk the most.
So that got me to thinking...I wonder how many people have watched an ECORS race, or a KOH feed, or a RCQ feed and said pssht thats nothing me and my buds are way more hardcore than that on our little trail rides.
SOooo.....
We are going to have a little contest. We are going to pick one lucky fan and allow them to enter the season end race FREE OF CHARGE, that's right 100% free. Just show up, bring your ride, bring your safety gear (or borrow some) and lets race.
The Contest
One winner from eligible entrants will be picked at random, and they will receive free entry into the DPG race November 13th, plus an ECORS Tshirt and 2 gate passes for this event above and beyond driver and co-driver passes. They will then compete against whatever class their race rig falls in for a chance to win the prize.
The Prize
Should the selected amateur , PODIUM, I.E. place in the Top 3 in their respective race, they will receive a Year Long Membership to the East Coast Offroad Racing Series, Two free non-transferable race entry competitor passes, two additional spectator tickets for every race they race in next season (this is in addition to any race entry tickets which they will also receive) and all driver perks, stickers, shirts, access for next season.
Should the selected amateur FINISH THE RACE, defined as completing the advertised distance in the time allowed they will receive a free 1 year membership to the East Coast Offroad Racing Series, and an event T shirt for the race they competed in
Should the Selected Driver not finish, well, they will have had a great time, memories to last a lifetime and earned a new found respect for the veterans of this inaugural series. Not a bad day at the track....

Maybe I'll get a chance in the next year or so...
I guess you'll have to take me out of the running. Could always race the F150!
