The StratoCup 2025 Updates


As we reach the midpoint of the Championship season, it's time to finalize the details for the year's most anticipated event - The StratoCup. There have been a few changes from what was initially planned at the start of the year. Let's review them:


Date

The event will be held on Saturday, September 13th. Initially, it was scheduled for both the 13th and 14th to accommodate over 60 participants, as last year saw a lengthy waitlist. However, with another significant Autocross event now set for the same weekend, extending the event over two days is unnecessary. 


Schedule

  • 7:00 am - Gates Open/Event Setup  

  • 9:30 am - Drivers Meeting

  • 9:45 am - 12:30 pm AutoX Runs

  • 12:30 - 1:00 pm Break/Course Change

  • 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm Track Sprint Runs

  • 4:00 pm - Awards  

  • 4:30 pm - 5:00 pm Fun Runs (Time permitting)


Cost

$139 Early Bird / $160 Regular - With the event now being a single day, we can lower the cost. Drivers currently registered have received a refund for the difference. 


Driver Limit

60 Driver Limit - Reduced from 100. We had 60 drivers last year, which was a suitable limit for this event.


Awards

Championship Classes (Sport, Tuner, Performance)

1st - The StratoCup + $300 

2nd - Trophy + $200

3rd - Trophy + $100


Additional Awards

Fastest Overall

Fastest Noob

Fastest on 280TW+ Tires

Fastest Muscle Car (V8 Front Engine RWD)

Slowest Driver


This year, we're altering the cash awards to distribute some for each podium position in the Championship Classes. The Open class hasn't been active, so we're "redistributing the wealth" to make the main classes more exciting. There's still a Fastest Overall Trophy up for grabs if you have an operational Open class car by September. Now you have more opportunities to claim prize money in racing! 


With some of last year's winners not participating this year, your chances of securing a podium spot have increased! 



Championship Points


This is the final event of the season to earn Championship points. This includes setting a Top 5 Class StratoAttack time to gain bonus points. Any events held after this will not count towards the 2025 Championship. 


That's all for the updates. Registration has been revised to reflect these changes. Secure your spot now! Early bird pricing ends August 31st!
