I would like to give a few events a try with my future rally car, see how she handles in the dirt and how I like her.

Think about all the poor religious people who miss out cause of the sundays. Does suck if you have to work... but I doubt you'd get much of a turnout on a monday/tuesday.

Nik, you should know this... Burnt River is the fenelon falls course... which apparently is undergoing a MAJOR overhaul before the first event. The course is not to be a car-breaker... some aggreements have been signed with the owners that the course will be in a certain condition or we have the right to refuse and request it be corrected.

I don't have all details/dates... but KWRC/MLRC/PMSC are doing a joint effort... KWRC has a july date at burnt river, MLRC has Bancroft in august, PMSC (you're truely is organizing it) is back at burnt river in september, and then the final MLRC day at bancroft in october.

I liked the barrie one because only at one point would going off have huge consequences (plus, it's close-by). But I seem to recall parts of Burnt River were also pretty safe from that perspective too...

actually I guess that's the original purpose of my post; while I appreciate the info on burnt rivers, that doesn't answer why Barrie site isn' tused; of the three facilities mentioned, Barrie seemed to be not only the closest, on average, to MLRC members, but also to be ideal for rallycrosses (at least in terms of price, proximity, fun & safety - not sure what other factors are, or should be, in the equation).

Was there a disagreement with the owners? Is it a no-go now that Fred is a shunned person? Any info is appreciated - I'm really going to miss it if it doesn't get used this year

Part of the probelm may be there is only a small handful people who are organizing these events (within RSO rules). If we want twice the events, we need twice the volunteers.

It looks like Doug has stepped up to take some of the pressure off Ryan and Bryn, and someone from KWRC is stepping up too by the looks of it. This means there will be more people with the experience to organize these events in the future.

I don't know the reason why they are using Burnt River rather than Barrie, but I assume that for whatever reason it is the easier of the two for the organizers to deal with. It must be the 'path of least resistance'.
