xx <<<Spring Fever Rallycross - Isanti County Fairgrounds - May 12th!!>>>

May 07, 2013, 11:51:58 AM by Rexneffect


Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Are you ready to get down and dirty? It's been two years, but we're heading back to the Isanti County Fairgrounds! Located in Cambridge, this site has been good to us in the past, with a nice tacky clay surface, on-site bathrooms, grandstand bleachers, and even an announcer's booth to keep you informed on who's racing and what's happening (and who's taking extra laps by mistake ***cough**Brent**cough**). The best thing is that they have flattened out the middle section where there use to be a moto-x park, which will allow us much more area to plan an awesome course!

xx ***Tax Brake Rallycross April 13th - H & Z Tree Farms***

March 28, 2013, 08:08:29 PM by Rexneffect
Here we go again, folks! The 2013 SCCA Land O' Lakes Rallycross season will be kicking off Saturday, April 13th at the brand-new venue, H & Z Tree Farms, in Hastings, MN! For those of you with a dirty and competitive side, come out and show us your skills on a timed dirt course. This is a great venue for beginner drivers as it is an open course with soft dirt, and the safety stewards do a great job at keeping the course smooth with good flowing lines. Come out, join the fun, and get your adrenaline pumping! The cost of entry is cheap, and your daily-driven car is all you need. This is a great way to get some seat time in on an unpaved surface, and to really see what your car can do!
Not sure if you want to try it? Come out with an approved helmet, and ride along for FREE to experience it first-hand. Just ask around, and you'll find a willing driver in no-time to let you ride-along.

 As you can see, venues are up in the air at the moment. We've ran into a snag with using the Cannon Falls sight this year, besides the owner planting on it in the summer, so we did some brainstorming at the rallycross planning meeting and will be pursing these new venues strongly! We are still in need of more ideas for sites and are open to anyones suggestions or reccomendations. Please PM myself or Tim (Tim Da Plumber) on here.


 We look forward to seeing everyone on the field, old and new, this coming year!
