Anyone know if the big parking lot at SSW has been cleared of cars?

The RecceCross wagon is back in the driveway, this time keeping all its fluids on the inside. Daph and possibly Alex will be running it. Ian and I are hoping to use Sunday to try out our new rally suspension on the rally car!

I'll have the 244 back on the road in the next day or so. Just in time to break something again. At least I won't be running trailing arms with giant holes in them and non-existent upper spring seats any more. She's got 114hp an auto and weighs 2,900lbs. Watch out! :orglaugh:

I'm looking to possibly rent a spot in the driver's seat for this event.

Due to a broken rim, I've been forced into putting on my summer tires a bit early...and they're no good on gravel.

Please let me know if you're willing to give up your ride for awhile and let me know your terms and conditions :)

Oh, SSW large lot looked clear yesterday when I drove by but can check tomorrow (Friday) and report in.

MIGHT have a seat. Depends if the current co-driver of the wagon bows out, which is a possibility. Unfortunately I'm not likely to know before Saturday Night/Sunday morning.

Was talking to Steve and Ian today. I may have to make an appearance...

The car has been freshly aligned at Valley Tire and has a few new goodies on it...

Confirmed: still 2 cars in lot as of 4:00 Friday.

Gord, I'm just going to show up in time to register...if there's an opening to drive, that's great...if not, no worries...I'll just stay and hang out for awhile.

See you guys tomorrow...

Planning to bring out the Blue Berry bomb one more time, then I'll probably sell it to some unsuspecting soul...

Hey Pidge, Isn't the BMW 325IX AWD? You have it listed as a RWD car in the results.

Thanks to Kevin, Wayne, Pidge and other who helped run things yesterday. Huge thanks to Charlotte for her endless support of motorsport and excellent scoring. :)

I would like to take a quick minute to thank Dave as well. For the last 10 years he's put in a lot of time and effort to keep the series rolling. It's turned into a fun and enjoyable mainstay of our winter motorsport. Thanks!

Quite possible one of the best days of rallycross weather wise I've seen yesterday. Glad I was there.
