Welcome to the Online Racing Championship Association History Page. Below you will find most of ORCA's storied past, minus the 2001 inaugural season. Enjoy!
'History in
the Making'
Champ Series: ORCA was created in
2001 and only consisted of one league, the Champ Series. Since 2001, many leagues have been added to the mix. The Champ Series is now known as the Cup Series, but continues to be where the top drivers compete:
Grand Nat'l Series: This league first came on to the scene in 2002. They used the Cup cars and followed the Cup schedule. But now, thanks to the Project Wildfire mods, they use the BGN cars and follow the BGN schedule:
Truck Series: This league first came on to the scene in 2004 and follows the CTS schedule:
Rookie Series: This league first came on to the scene in 2002 and was known as the Winter Series because it served as tryouts during the off-season. In 2003, the league transformed into the Rookie Series and followed a full schedule. Since 2003, the Rookie Series has been the breeding ground for future ORCA stars. In 2004, the league transformed into a circuit, sporting both Grand Nat'l cars and Trucks:
IROC Series: This league
first came on to the scene in 2002 to showcase the best of the best in ORCA, running 11 events. In 2003, the IROC series began to follow the real IROC format. In 2006, the series ended:
Sportsman Series: This league first came on to the scene in 2002. It was identical to the Grand Nat'l Series, with only the night they ran being the difference. Trucks replaced this series in 2004:
Lightning Series: This league was identical to both the Grand Nat'l Series and Sportsman Series, with only the night they ran being the difference. The Lightning Series was replaced by the Hardcore Series in 2004, which never materialized.
