Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) is pleased to support the RideSafe Foundation at this week’s RideSafe Powered by BRP—Gear-Up Arizona, coming to Apache Junction High School in Apache Junction, Arizona on November 9-10. Approximately 2,400 K-12 students from the Apache Junction Unified School District will experience on-stage presentations and specialized instructional stations designed to encourage powersports safety. CORR staff and racers will serve as a key part of the instruction and mentorship experience, which encourages racers to “wear all the gear, all the time.”
With on-track programs for racers as young as five years old, CORR has always made the development of young racers a key part of its racing mission. That mission expanded earlier this year with the creation of CORR NEXT, a new series based at Firebird Motorsports Park that combines the thrill of CORR racing with hands-on instruction that shows newcomers how to compete in short course off-road racing safely. The inaugural CORR NEXT season kicked off in October and will resume on December 12-13.
As part of its commitment to Gear-Up Arizona, CORR will also be providing free tickets for all participating students to attend its first event of the CORR presented by AMSOIL season, the R-N-R Steel Firebird Desert Open presented by FIVE18 Designs at Firebird Motorsports Park, when accompanied by an adult. Each complimentary youth ticket will be valid for both Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22. The event will feature the debut of Pro 2, Pro Spec, and Pro Buggy racing in CORR, complementing the series’ world-class SXS racing programs for pro, amateur, and youth racers alike.
“Supporting young racers is a key part of our mission at CORR, so partnering with the RideSafe Foundation to support Gear-Up Arizona is an opportunity we didn’t want to miss,” said CORR Event Manager Tim Jones. “We couldn’t be happier to lend our expertise to their hands-on programs that show the next generation the importance of staying safe in powersports. We’re looking forward to seeing many of the kids who go through the program at Firebird later this month, and we hope that some of them will be competing in CORR NEXT and CORR presented by AMSOIL someday!”
