Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) roared into Texas for the first time late last year. Series racing ran, October 18-20, 2007, with two nights of racing at the Texas Motor Speedway dirt track. The dirt track was completely redesigned to 0.57 miles of whoops, turns, jumps, and many challenges for this CORR race series and was met with mixed, mostly positive, reviews by the drivers. The night of October 20 saw an even larger crowd than the previous night with approximately half of the 11,000 seats filled. The conversation by both spectators and drivers was that they all hope to have CORR back in 2008 for an even bigger event.
