If you are planning on towing your rallycross car, I'd like to tow it for you!

I need to tow something (up to 7,700lbs) for an article, but I don't have a trailer.
So I'd like to tow your car on your trailer to the quarry, as long as you aren't really far away.
Plus you can ride with me in a brand new diesel truck with heated seats and WiFi!!!

Truck has 4 and 7-pin connectors.

I'll be taking photos as well, so if you have a sponsored car then photos of your car will be going in the review on autoTRADER.ca

If you're interested, PM me or email evan at evanwritescars dot com

Edit: Looks like I have somebody to drag around :P Thanks!

Today was a great event, ran very smooth with 58 competitors! Thank you to all for coming out and wrapping up the Rally Cross season!
We are very thankful to Conrad Brother's Quarry for the generous use of their land.

Special Thank You to the volunteers who dedicated their whole day to stand out in the cold so that others can play!
Ron, Nate, Dan, Sonia, Joanne, Charlotte, Krista, Pidge, and Cathy.

Thank you to the competitors who also helped out today. To name a couple: Ian for holding the Driver's Meetings and Blu for Grid Marshal. And all of you who helped run after pylons!

We had some great photo's taken by several photographers, Thank you all!

A big thank you to the 90 different people who showed up this year to learn a bit of car control on less than ideal surfaces.
Greg Sweet has done a great job designing and laying out our courses.
I am still trying to reconstruct the last event. There was a mix up with scores toward the end of the first run and I think I have it solved. Thanks to Krista for keeping times for me. It only involved the back runners, but all are important.
There will be a change in the top ten as one of them was off course on run one.
Thank you for your patience.

I wouldn't want to run it every event (Poor little civic's door has taken a beating :lol: ), but that was an awesome venue. Definitely the most fun I've had at RallyX. Thanks for making it happen!

It's definitely the best venue we could hope for, for rallycross. But hard to give it 100% if you want to preserve the vehicle. I'll still take Scotia for the regularly held events in an effort to minimize the amount of wheels i replace.

That was a blast. The civic might not have thought so, but he did what we asked him to. I did did my best to ALWAYS hit the puddle. I hope we can always have a puddle that nice. 4th overall in FWD. Not sure if Greg's Neon should be in FWD or prepared? We did run 40PSI to fight the grounds. I think next year we will have skidplates for the car. Front and rear.

For being involved in the clubs for as long as I have, this year was the first time I ever held the steering wheel in RallyCross. i think we did 4 events. Personally I think it helps greatly with car control. I have to thank Scott for buying a car and letting me run it. From the last conversation i had with Scott, We will be back next year with the civic for the full season. Not sure we have anything for that Spec-V nissan, But we will keep pushing.

I'd like to thank Ian and Gord for letting me share the Impreza with Alex, thought I'd made it through the event without breaking it until the paddock after the last run... Can't understand why I didn't win, maybe it was when I made up my own circuit. Thank you to the organizers and cone getters that stood out in the cold all day, I really do know how it feels.
