Thank you to all the competitors
for making Rallycross #1 a great
success, and braving the deep water splashes! A
big thank you to the Western Canadian Ice
Racing Association of BC who graciously
allowed us the use of the track for this event and
The Thunderbird Rally. I think we can all appreciate
the amount of work Ron Klakowich did, plowing the
new course on Friday night and early Saturday morning,
and pulling people out of the snowbanks all day.
Also, thank you to all the volunteers who got thier
feet wet running the grid, marshal positions, and
timing. Brian and Jared from the UBC Sports
Car Club generously lugged all the electronic
timing equipment up to Barnes Lake, and stood in
6-inches of water to set it all up. Much appreciated!
Frank at OMP/Driver's
Edge, Ted at Wilkinson's Automobilia,
and MTBFilms.com all helped out
with the great draw prizes. We had over $300 worth
of giveaways, including collectible WRC models,
a Great Rally Cars DVD, an OMP helmet bag, OMP "Top
Driver" hats, and more. Thanks for the support!
Each class winner was awarded a voucher for free
entry into a future rallycross event.
The next
rallycross will be on April 17th
at a venue closer to Vancouver. Watch this site
