Winter Snowcross Event #1
MCO's (Motorsports Club of Ottawa) first Snowcross event is this Saturday. WOO!!!!
I have no real racing experience, and really not much more than standard parking lot fun in the snow, so I'm mainly going to be there as a spectator. Maybe though, just maybe, the SVX will hit the track at some point. In either case I'll be sure to take some pictures and post them. There are 5 snowcross (or Slush 'n' Slide as it used to be called) events during the winter, as well as a series of winter driving schools. I'm signed up for the advanced performance winter driving school at the end of February, which should be an absolute blast. From last year:

HOLY CRAP was that ever fun!!!!!
I ended up doing 5 runs on 2 different course configurations, and actually scoring half-decently. I figured I'd be hugely off the pace, but I didn't do too bad in the end. My girl earned a lot of respect from me today, and from the other racers. A couple of the folks from the Ottawa Subaru Club asked me what time I'd run, knowing it was my first time out. When I told them they were pretty surprised. I never hit a snowbank (many people did, several requiring a tow out), never spun, although I scared myself a bit a couple times. Once the times and some pictures from the event are posted I'll put up a link. I can't wait to do this again!!!

Results are in!
I'm car #46. I guess the timing guy was so used to writing WRX that I got that instead of SVX. I placed 9th in AWD out of 29 cars, beating out all the STi's too. Not too bad for a rookie I think All of the times written in blue are DNF's. A DNF gets you your slowest time + 15 seconds. Things that earn a DNF are going off course, needing to reverse out of a snowbank, requiring a tow (obviously). You can see that slightly slower, but clean runs will get you into the points. I'll have pics soon.

Bridgestone Blizzak Revo-1, 205/55/16. They have unbelievable traction. I couldn't believe how late I could brake before going into the corners and make it through fine.
