This page is for new competitors who are interested in competing in some of our events. Below is a list and short description of the classes that compete at our events. Have any questions? Feel free to contact us. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Unlimited
In this class, anything goes! As much horsepower as you want, as much downforce as you want, and whatever vehicle you want! The only rules in this class are our safety rules!
Open Wheel
Open Wheel is one of our fastest classes! In this class the cars must have no bodywork covering the wheels and that’s it! As long as it meets our safety requirements. This class typically consists of open wheel Wells Coyotes boasting American V8’s that create lots of horsepower, with big wings that create literal tons of downforce! This is a fun class to watch!
Stock Car
Stock Car is what it sounds like! These cars boast American V8’s that make lots of horsepower with little downforce! These cars are essentially NASCAR’s that race up skinny two lane dirt roads!
Competition Truck
Competition Truck is our division of trucks that you could never find on the Ford or Chevy production line. These trucks are highly modified with high horsepower V8’s at the front! These trucks are sitting on tube frame chassis and are very lightweight! Watch out because these vehicles throw lots of rocks!
Super Sprint
Super Sprint are also mostly Wells Coyotes that are limited to 6 cylinders and have strict Pound per Cubic Inch weight rules. These cars typically have tube frame aluminum chassis, and typically use Ford SHO engines to power them up the hill! This is a very competitive class!
Sportsman
Sportsman are the cars that are old and heavy! These cars are American muscle cars that have modified V8 engines in the front that make around 500 horsepower, however these cars must weigh at least 3000 pounds and have highly restrictive Pound per Cubic Inch rules! This class is a lot of fun to watch!
Super Stock Truck
Super Stock Truck is exactly what it sounds like, super stock trucks. These trucks must originate from a production line vehicle. They are allowed some modification, but nothing like competition truck. This class is a very competitive one!
Champ Car
Champ Car are the open wheelers of old that used to dominate Pikes Peak. These cars have front engine V8’s, and look very similar to wingless sprint cars that you would see at your local circle track. Be careful because these cars are usually wild and using all the road!
Rally 4WD
Rally 4WD is exactly what it sounds like. This class is made up of cars that are 4WD such as Subaru’s, Mitsubishi’s, or various other rally cars. Rally 4WD cars are equivalent to Rally 4WD Open that you would see at an American Rally Association event with one key difference. CHCA allows rally cars to race without turbo restrictors and allow these rally cars to make as much power as they can!
Rally 2WD
Rally 2WD cars are the exact same as Rally 4WD cars except that they are 2WD instead of 4WD. This class abides by rules similar to Rally America or American Rally Association, and also CHCA let’s the rally cars remove turbo restrictors, so that these rally cars can make as much horsepower as possible!
UTV/SXS
UTV/SXS vehicles are the typical UTV you would see on the trails around Colorado and surrounding States. This class allows anyone with a SXS to show up and have fun in a competitive, but more importantly safe setting! These vehicles are a lot of fun!
Quad (ATV)
Quad (ATV) mostly consists of race specific quads that squeeze as much power as they can out of the motor! This class is usually very close, and fun to follow along with as the weekend progresses!
Motorcycle
Motorcycle consists of any motorcycle that meets safety requirements and is under 650 CC. In this class you see a lot of variety, some racers think the best route is a smaller, lighter 450, others think the best route is a big powerful 650!
Junior
Junior cars are the entry level class in CHCA. This class is for drivers who are 14-18 years of age and prepare a car that gets the juniors used to driving a race car and driving a car in general. This class is good for people who are looking to start out!
