CORC DIRT CRITS

New to Racing? Not new to Racing?

Great, dirt crits are for you

Dirt crits are kids and novice friendly, but also offering enough challenge for experienced riders to ping against the rev limiter.

We have a handicap format that ensures that everyone can be competitive. Younger kids races start in one block and are not handicapped.

We hope that Dirt Crits will be held on most Thursday afternoons during school terms from 15 October 2026 to 11 March 2027, breaking over January. Some events may be cancelled due to inclement weather or lack of organisers. Results are posted to Facebook after the event.

Please keep an eye on EntryBoss or the CORC Facebook page for links to online entries.

Grades

The CORC Dirt Crits are run as four races as follows:

A/B grade = approx. 20 min (5/6 lap) handicap race released in waves.

C grade = normally 20 min handicap race (usually 4 laps)

D/E grade = will race together with D grade usually doing 2 laps and E grade usually doing 1 lap (or a modified course). Best suited to novices or junior riders who are looking for a challenge or learning to race.

F grade = normally on much shorter and technically easier course. Best suited to young juniors.

Number of laps may be changed to suit course lengths. Anyone can enter any category. However, each participant can only race one category. The organisers reserve the right to request riders to change categories.  A link to the courses will be provided on the CORC Facebook page and confirmed the Friday before the race, allowing time for Dirt Critters to practice the course before they enter if needed.

Points

Points awarded to the first 5 finishers per grade. Riders will be called up to the start line before each race.

For the Dirt Crit series, all participants must be AusCycling members. This includes all juniors. AusCycling membership ensures all riders are covered for personal accident and public liability insurance (including when not at Dirt Crits). AusCycling does have a four week free trial membership: AusCycling | 4 Week Free Trial Membership
