RallyX on Ice -- February 28th -- CANCELLED

[Zeeeek]

So the MoHud membership approved the rallycross and it looks to be a go as long as the ice holds up! Currently quite thick.

February 28th is the date, Onota Lake in Pittsfield, MA the place, and access is going to be at the Controy Pavilion, Burbank Park on Lakeway Drive from Pecks Road. I believe we'll also be doing reg and trophies there, or at least it'll be a place to get outta the elements.

Classes are going to be divided into drivetrain and tire, so FWD / RWD / AWD, without studs / with studs / with bolts, or something along those lines. Entries will likely be capped, in the 50 driver range. Event schedule will be similar to an autocross, so participants ought to be there by 9am, with first car off at 10:30am. Number of runs planned to be 5-6. Cost ought to be along the same lines as an autox: $25 for members, $40 for non-. More details as they come or over at the MoHud forum thread.

I might be sacrificing a set of crappy tires to do this.  

This is technically a non-spectator event...


EDIT: Rallycross cancelled due to sloppy mess conditions

[BlackParis]

Zeek! You driving my car?

Those not Mohud member should be Mohud members.

If it goes down as planned I'll be there with Tom Hansen whooping the WR33X on studded Winterforce rubber.  Just bought another SVX so I'll have spare engine/parts incase

Now that would be worth the trip to see- whether or not you're even running!

It'll be good to see how your project's turned out as well of course, sir!

I'm planning to, but it all depends on whether it is actually there the day of! And meh, we'll just rock whatever rubber you drive to the event.

Cool.. Cause I just have plain Like new all-seasons.. they drift nice!

Wanna convoy? what time do you think your leaving?

[Zeeeek]

They wanted people helping with set-up there by 7am. But I waited until all of the worker chief positions were filled, so I'm really not expected to be there at that time. So whatever puts us there by 9am.

You can drag the Taco! 

[bigfishs]

I reckon Im up for it. Any idea how bumpy it will be?  I have blizacks unstudded and stock suspension.

Yeah I was hoping you would bring the taco.. You got a hitch on that? Just incase the legacy gives out, could we rent a uhaul trailer to bring it home

[Zeeeek]

LOL, I was about to ask why exactly I was driving down in a separate vehicle. Yes, with the MINI's track record last year, it's setup for towing now.

Oh it'll be running there alright.  I just bought another SVX so I have a spare engine and sensors 'n sh$t so I'll be there on the ice.

Will be my first auto X ever.  Gonna put this EG33 and six speed on studded DOT's to work

Hoping my new license plate comes in prior to the event..........XOBTIHS   

[WRXer]

I will definitely be there as well. Unfortunately for me I never got my studdeds. I will end up driving on my almost bald winters.

omg that is fantastic

[LiamWRX06]

so id we want to take part in this, do we just show up and pay the $40 and get put in a class?

[bigfishs]

Im in.  Like Liam said, how do we enter?

[Zeeeek]

Show up, pay money, at this point there is no pre-reg, if that changes it will be posted! It will be $25 members / $40 non- (temporary weekend membership).

[Dreaded1]

I really wanted to do this event, but I will be somewhere in the area of St. Thomas on the 28th. Hopefully if it goes well there will be more events next year.

[Zeeeek]

I would really like to see a MoHud rallyx program, as of yet there hasn't been much discussion of that possibility at the meetings. Currently the closest options are the Poughkeepsie club and New England region...

Agreed, but I know my car would automatically be tossed in with the sharks in the M4 class due to the engine swap.  Still it would be nice to have a few local events.  It's tough to travel away from my daughter and wife on weekends
