What kind of turnout do you usually have?

Not sure if I can answer that. Last year was the first time MMSC held a winter event since I'm not sure when. The turnout was good for both events. The results are on the MMSC web site: http://www.mmsc.ca/2011/04/rally-results.html

Anyone planning on heading up for this?

They calling for rain?

1mm or rain, but 30 - 40 cm of snow.... Should be interesting!!

Snow is a good thing!!! Practise on the way up

When is the cutoff to know if it's cancelled due to weather?
I'd hate to drive all that way just for lunch...

Sounds like most of the snow/rain is on Saturday. Sunday doesn't sound bad.

Pfffft, this time last year we towed a trailer and car to Maniwaki in a storm, well, shortly afterwards, roads weren't cleared at all. Drive your VW up, like last year.

Managed to get some equipment from the MMSC van last night. Some paperwork and miscellaneous stuff to do today. Everything should be ready to go for Sunday. I'm thinking about running the EVO if we get enough people. Anyone else coming?

Weather dependant, we are coming up from Halifax in the morning Ming.
Please keep this thread updated with Moncton's actual weather.

I may come down from Miramichi, is my BAC membership good or do I need a MMSC? Actually, I haven't rec'd my BAC card yet but did pay and join.

I think I'm going to pass - the weather forecast looks crazy to get up in time to race.

BB

Agreed. Looks like we'll have to try again next time.

The snow has stopped. Going to dig myself out and head to Magic Mountain.


A membership with any ARMS club is fine.

Just finished cleaning the driveway, heading up shortly!

Had fun running my first RallyCross, and now I know I can fit in a civic, wearing a full snow suit & a helmet!

Thanks to Darrell for letting me run his Civic, had a blast, we both did... Literally, right through a snow bank

It was a great day for a rallycross. Mike set up a great course using both the upper and lower lots. Arnold was busy fishing Subarus and the occasional Porsche/EVO/Civic out of the snow bank. Thanks to everyone who helped put on this event. Waiting for the film crew from Fredericton to put up some videos. In the meantime, results are here:

Awesome event, does anybody have any pictures?
