BAC RallyCross Challenge
Interested in getting a taste of rally driving?
Perhaps your an AutoSlalom (Solo2) junkie looking for a cone-dodging fix during the long winter months? Or maybe just interested in some hands-on driving experience in slippery less than ideal conditions to better prepare you for our soon to be slippery winter streets? Then participating in a BAC RallyCross event would be just right for you!
RallyCross is an off-road AutoSlalom event. A number of times between October and May we will haul out the cones and timing equipment at the Scotia Speed World spectator parking lot and or the AMP (back 40 as it known locally) parking lot to rip it up against the clock in the mud, snow, gravel and what ever mother nature throws at us. Whether you have a Stunning STI or a Rusted-out Rabbit, come out to an event and give it a try!
We are pleased to announce that the BAC RallyCross Challenge will be held again this year. We are hoping to continue on the fun and success of the last few years.
