SOCAL WINTER SRIES 2026
Series Overview
In response to the local racing community, Palm Desert R/C Track and Drake Racing have partnered to launch a new race series spanning both venues. This series is designed to challenge remote-controlled vehicle drivers of all skill levels, offering a platform for both novice and professional participants to demonstrate their abilities in a structured, competitive environment.
The series consists of six races, alternating between Palm Desert RC Track and Drake Raceway. Each event is a point-accumulating contest, with drivers earning points based on their performance in each race. The cumulative point totals determine the overall standings throughout the series.
At the end of the series, the driver with the most points in each class will be declared the winner and awarded a cash prize, further motivating competitors to strive for excellence.
