Title: WINTER TESTING DAYS
Post by rosswood on 12/21/8 at 20:53:00

I am pleased to announce three Winter Testing Days at the Burnt River
Offroad Facility. As you can see from the photo taken this afternoon, the
road is in fabulous condition - just perfect for pre-Perce Neige practice or
just to hone up your winter driving skills or for that matter just to have
fun in the snow. The photo was taken after I had taken one pass in the
fresh snow. Drove the road about 10 times today - you quickly remember why
we love winter rallies.

Dates scheduled are as follows:

(1) Saturday, January 24, 2009

(2) Saturday, January 31, 2009

With this mild weather we are losing our snow really fast. I know at one point we were worried that we were getting to much snow on the driveway that we had no more room to wing it to the sides. Now the snow is almost gone. So LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW. The weather forecast is call for more snow in the next couple of weeks.

Cheers,Connie

Our first testing and turning day went very well. Everyone got lots of runs in. The road way was perfect condition. We were even able to change the course a little with the drivers having them run the road there and back in one trip. We found there was less waiting and it also gave the guys more time with their vehicles to tune up.

Thank you to all the drivers and co drivers that came out and participant. I had lots of fun watching all of you trying to make that barrel turn. I know that was not easy ;D.

We still have spot available for Jan 31, 2009. If your interested please get in contact with Ross Wood at ross.wood@sympatico.ca or by phone at 705-887-1130.

Thank you Ross & Co. for freezing your .... out there today. It was excellent - snow and a lot of ice; what else could we ask for?
