2024 ROK Pacific Northwest Championship

April 2, 2024 - ROK CUP USA announces the 2024 ROK Pacific NorthWest Championship. This new Championship starts June 1-2, 2024, and will be based on 3 weekends and 5 rounds of competition at the world-renowned Greg Moore Raceway in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. Drivers will battle through this exciting 5-round championship with the chance to be crowned and win the renowned ROK Super Final world tickets or ROK Vegas at the RIO packages along with 2nd and 3rd class champions receiving “ROK Wildcard” tickets.

Greg Moore Raceway, operated by West Coast Kart Club, is named after Canadian professional race driver and member of the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame and has been designed to meet the requirements of the Commission Internationale de Karting – FIA (CIK – FIA), the world’s motorsport governing body.

Located 100 km due east of Vancouver, B.C., Canada — the Championship track layout features a twelve-corner asphalt surface measuring 1,224 m (4,015ft) in length, and features a variety of open high-speed sections, and technically challenging turns. Each corner is uniquely angled, radiused, and cambered, both positive and negative. The driver must concentrate throughout the expected 50-plus seconds per lap.

Rok Cup USA prides itself on the fair, high level of competition while remaining a family-friendly racing environment. “ROK Cup USA & Canada are excited about the new ROK Cup Pacific NorthWest series. ROK Cup PNW will be awesome, especially when the series grows and begins to do ‘cross-border’ events. A lot of great racers have come out of the PNW, namely the great Greg Moore; I can’t wait to see who ROK PNW produces.” says Mike Burrell the ROK USA series director.

“I’ve been involved with a variety of series over the years, and the staff and competitors that ROK Cup has is world-class. The series is run so smooth and the competition is competitive yet fair. Definitely, a series I want to be involved with for the long run” says Ashley Graaf the ROK USA Media director

“Having supported drivers from Latin America, who participated in ROK races in different parts of the world, and having had the opportunity of introducing Vortex Engines to my home country of Bolivia with the support of ROK USA, I am thrilled to now be part of the new ROK championship in the Pacific Northwest. ROK USA will be supporting this championship by awarding the prestigious ROK Superfinal, Italy, or ROK Vegas tickets, as well as other great series prizes”. Says Pedro Pablo Calbimonte, the ROK PNW series coordinator.

Aaron Thomas, the President of the West Coast Kart Club, proudly stated, “As the home base for WCKC members, Greg Moore Raceway is honored to be the chosen venue for the inaugural ROK PNW Championship. Having a multi-race series and welcoming the region's best drivers and teams brings the club a lot of pride. Also, the prospect of one of our own club members advancing to the ROK Super Final in Lonato, Italy, is incredibly exciting for us all.”
