Iowa Region SCCA RallyCross – Mercer County Offroad Park
July 26, 2026
Mercer County Offroad Park delivered an outstanding day of Iowa Region SCCA RallyCross competition, with a fast and technical course that rewarded precision just as much as outright speed. Drivers navigated sweeping corners, changing grip levels, and had plenty of opportunities to test their luck against the orange cones.
The weather turned out to be one of the day’s biggest threats and blessing. A thick haze remained over the course for much of the event, and competitors couldn’t have been happier about it. Every time the sun did manage to break through, temperatures climbed instantly, reminding everyone just how hot a July RallyCross can become. The overcast skies kept drivers, workers, and spectators comfortable enough to enjoy a full day of racing.
At Mercer County, the cones are far from innocent bystanders. They absorbed hit after hit throughout the day, with many competitors picking up one-, two-, and three-cone penalties while searching for the fastest line. One ambitious driver in Prepared AWD even collected seven cones in a single run, proving that sometimes finding the limit means taking a few markers along for the ride. Several class battles were decided as much by avoiding penalties as by outright speed.
