Beginner Definition

Any racer that has not raced for a “Short Course” series for more than 4 completed races will qualify for CORR NEXT Beginner classes. No prior CORR racers that have raced for a season qualify for this class. The CORR race director has the discretion during the season to request a Beginner to move up to the Experienced class if the driver shows experience above and beyond that considered to be Beginner. Points will be carried up to the experience class with a 50% reduction for any move up, voluntary or requested.

Experienced Definition

Any Racer who has raced for more than 4 completed races in a “Short Course” series will qualify for CORR NEXT Experienced classes. All CORR presented by AMSOIL series racers qualify as Experienced racers unless they only attended 2 race weekends in the last 2 years of competition.

Trophies and Points

All classes, Beginner and Experienced, will receive 1st to 3rd trophies.  Points will be the same point schedule as CORR presented by AMSOIL, and end of year champions will be awarded according to finisher points.

Starting Order

We will be doing a random “Pill Draw” style starting after tech closes for all classes, Beginner, Experienced, and all combined classes.  After the first day’s race, we will be doing staging based on current points leader as P1 and filling accordingly through the starting order. Missing racer slots will be filled with the next racer in line according to current points.

Vehicle Rules

All race vehicles MUST follow the CORR rulebook regardless of Beginner or Experienced class definition. These rules are general safety requirements and must be followed and inspected in tech.

Racers with additional class or tech questions may email tech@corracing.com or dan@corracing.com for more information.

Championship Off-Road Racing Introduces CORR NEXT

Posted on | by jayden gerber

Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) is thrilled to announce the creation of CORR NEXT, an all-new regional championship for beginner and non-professional short course racers. Comprised of five doubleheader events at Arizona’s Firebird Motorsports Park, the most frequent host of events in CORR history, the new series will serve as a feeder system for racers looking to work their way up to the premier CORR presented by AMSOIL tour.

The full 2026-27 CORR NEXT calendar is as follows:

  • Rounds 1-2: October 10-11
  • Rounds 3-4: December 12-13
  • Rounds 5-6: January 23-24
  • Rounds 7-8: March 13-14
  • Rounds 9-10: April 24-25

The goal of CORR NEXT is to deliver an affordable grassroots off-road racing experience for newcomers and sportsman racers alike. As a result, CORR NEXT events will be oriented towards competitors and their families, with a focus on track time and racer development. CORR NEXT will utilize fewer production elements than the higher-level CORR presented by AMSOIL tour in order to keep costs down and prioritize driver development.

As part of the new program, CORR is pleased to announce that Dan Hurn will serve as CORR NEXT series director. Both Hurn and his daughter Chloe were among the top competitors in their CORR classes last season, finishing second in their respective class championships, and Hurn will apply his experience towards running CORR NEXT with racing families at the front of mind.

“I’m extremely excited and honored to be invited to become part of the CORR management family and to take on the role of Race Director for CORR NEXT,” said Hurn. “I’m looking forward to this new chapter for CORR and the opportunity to bring a vision focused on growing the sport from the ground up. CORR NEXT is being created with beginners, youth racers, and up-and-coming amateur racers in mind—especially those who may not yet feel ready to make the jump into a larger CORR event.

“Ultimately, we want CORR NEXT to be a place where someone can take their first step into short-course racing, feel like they belong, and have a clear path to grow within the sport—and hopefully one day make the move into the main CORR series.”

Additional announcements regarding the 2026-27 CORR presented by AMSOIL season will be made in the coming days.
