The Cocktail Class Executive Team is excited to introduce the First Annual Class Championship Awards. Scoring will recognize not only top drivers in all active racing classes, but also recognizes other factors of competition and sportsmanship. The high-points system is calculated on accumulated wins that scale on a total number of boats that were defeated, and the number of racing classes participated in, as explained below.
- The Annual National Award – This will be awarded to each racing class that qualifies in any sanctioned CCWBRA races. Scoring of points for the Annual Class Championships begins with the race that follows the previous year’s National Championship Race (ie: Tennessee Cup) and it concludes with the current year’s National Championship Race in Rock Hall, MD.
- The Annual Regional Award- This award will be awarded to each racing classe that qualifies in any of the four regional CWBRA races.
- The Final Word Trophy – The driver with the highest points total overall, a total of each rdriver ‘s scores earned at a regional or national level
- Constructor’s Award – Recognition for the builder or owner of a boat that has outperformed the highest number of other boats, regardless of the driver.
Purpose: To encourage and reward performance and participation at CCWBRA sanctioned races.
Overview: As with most amateur motorsports, Regional and National class championships have been established for all CCWBRA competitors in good standing, starting with the 2025 season. The formula deriving class standings emphasizes participation, it is not how many races you win, it is how many boats you beat. All results are compiled from data is compiled from the CCWBRA Secretary or Race Director official results.
Scoring of points for the Annual Class Championships begins with the race that follows the previous year’s National Championship Race (ie: Tennessee Cup) and it concludes with the current year’s National Championship Race in Rock Hall, MD.
