SNOW CONDITIONS

Ross is working on the track right now and there is a 3 foot snow depth

Winter RX Track Report Jan 5 08

Spent most of today in Bancroft working with Chris, our Town of Bancroft friend, creating the new Winter RX course.  We discovered that with the snow arriving so early in November, the ground underneath never got frozen.  So the plan today was to rough out the entire course.  The predicted warm weather and rain will get the ground very wet, then the upcoming cold snap will freeze it solid, now that we have removed the deep layer of snow insulation. After that we just need a bit of fresh snow for perfect conditions.  If there is no fresh snow,  we will still have a great course with huge, friendly snowbanks.  The snow is so deep up there that there is virtually no chance of it melting off in a few days of warm weather.

We designed the course so that it has countless options for course layout.  The one I measured off today when we were done was just under 1 km. in length. I drove it my street 2WD Corolla with absolutely no problem.  The course is on a totally flat field with no obstructions whatsoever, so the only thing you can possibly hit is a snowbank.

So get that car ready and clear those three dates!

Good luck with the snow! All we've got here is rain and fog, and more rain. Our beautiful track . . . I don't want to think about it!

Hi Guys

How much snow is left on the course?

Sounds like this should be a lot fun.

Maybe this series I can have time to drive a car.

I know that we can't trust or predict the weather, however what are the chances that the ground will be covered and/or iced over to have at least a few passes in the snow other then mud?

Also will there be helmets on site that you can rent/borrow?  I can't remember what the arrangement was last year at Burnt River.

Thanks,

Jakub

Jakub,

Ross is planning to go have a look at the course tomorrow, and we'll be making a decision on the event tomorrow night. I wouldn't worry too much about mud, but frozen dirt is more likely.

I'm sure there will be helmets there you can borrow, I wouldn't worry about that too much.

Alright folks, here's the deal. Below are the current track conditions. As you can see, things are certainly less than they were, but usable. The forcast is calling for more snow up there over the rest of the week, but we're still not really going to have big snowbanks, etc. We're trying to make a decision if the event should go or not, because so far we only have 7 entries. So, we're going to put it out to you guys. After seeing these pics, if we get some more entries lined up then we'll be a go (we need a minimum 12-14 to make it worth while), otherwise we'll postpone this event until February 3rd and hope we still have snow in early March for a third event.

So, get your entries in here: http://www.oldrallysport.on.ca/rallycrossentry.html
