LOCAL + WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP NOTE
The next qualification calendar is not published yet.
As of July 24, the official central Local schedule ends with Tyne Valley on July 18, 2026, so there is no later Local championship date to list here. The official World Championship page still shows the completed 2026 Race Week and has not announced a 2027 date. Local organizations may publish clinics, test days, or future qualifiers on their own sites before the central pages change.

HOW THE LABELS WORK
Published schedule and portal submission are not the same thing.
PUBLISHED
Official schedule
The event appears on an ISBD, licensed race-city, Derby Downs, or NDR page.
PORTAL APPROVED
Processed Rally row
The current-season results portal assigns an approved status and Rally number.
NEW SUBMISSION
Planning signal
The portal exposes a host and date, but approval, Rally number, and detailed format may still be pending.
The central Rally page prints Meriden as October 24-25, 2025, while the licensed Meriden host and current portal both support October 24-25, 2026; the card links to the host evidence. Des Moines has a Turkey Run conflict: the host lists October 24-25 while the central schedule lists October 25-26. Lockport also has conflicting portal and host dates in November. Those rows remain visibly labeled for verification instead of being silently reconciled.
