Join us for a Novice Rallycross workshop before we kick off the 2025 season! This event is open to any aspiring rallycrossers or those with 3 or fewer events under their belt.
Our goal is to create a supportive space where you can learn basic car control and rallycross skills, get comfortable in your car and learn the ins-and-outs of a race. We want you to leave feeling confident and excited to compete in your first race. For experienced competitors, this will be a great opportunity to get instruction and tons of practice while also sharing what you know with newcomers.
What to Expect
Pre-Race Content & Prep
We know that showing up to your first race can be intimidating so in the weeks leading up to the event, we’ll be sharing helpful guidance and advice to help you be ready.
Tech Inspection
First things first, you will need to pass tech inspection! This is a simple process where we make sure that your car and helmet are safe to race. You can read all about the tech inspection process here.
Learning
The day will kick off with instruction from NWRA co-founder, Kito Brielmaier and other experienced competitors. Content will include getting set up in your car, reading rallycross cones, car control techniques and navigating different types of course elements.
In-Car Practice
You will put the tips you learned in the morning into practice on short elements that mimic a race track. This will help you get in seat time and repetition to refine your racing skills, building your confidence and speed.
Race
We will take a lunch break then it’s race time! You will put all of the day’s lessons to the test in a rallycross race against the other participants. This is a race against the clock, not wheel-to-wheel, so you can take it at your own pace.
The Venue
Hosted in the south lot of the Enumclaw Expo Center, you will practice and race on smooth, gravel roads. You won’t find jumps on this course :)
