    Default CSCC Ghost Lake Rallycross Info Posted

    Hey All,

    Rallycross INFO:

    We are planning 4 event ICE Cup at Ghost Lake. This is not to replace the CSCC Rallycross series but rather try something different while we work on the new venue for next year’s DiRT Cup.

    Dates:
    Jan 20
    Feb 3
    Feb 17
    Mar 3

    The event format stays the same, with two heats, 3-4 runs per heat, cumulative total of a participants two fastest laps, one from the morning and one from the afternoon.
    Series results will be based on the best 3 finishes.

    Three classes: FWD, RWD and AWD

    The new stuff:

    In the email from SRD it was made clear that we have to preserve the stream, lake bed and shore line.
    We will collect the garbage and have a spill kits at the site.

    Please make sure you come to the event with mechanically sound car, if during the pre event inspection we notice your car drips fluids you will be ask to leave.

    During the discussion at the CSCC meeting the decision was made to require each participant to park vehicle on tarp in parking area. We are aware of other clubs doing this and we also believe it’s a good preventative measures.

    As for the tires:

    Commercially available DOT tires only.

    Commercially available street studs only.

    No screws or bolts, rally, zamboni or other oversize studs.

    We’re still looking for a gravel lot; If anybody has any possible leads please send me a note rally at altadadecorating dot com

    CSCC 2013 Winter RallyCross “ICE Cup”
    Program Overview



    1 INTRODUCTION

    Welcome to the 2013 Winter RallyCross “ICE Cup” presented by the Calgary Sports Car Club(CSCC). As much as I loved the lot at the Race City, I think a frozen lake will provide us all with just as much excitement and fun.

    RallyCross is a recreational off-road solo2 event in which participants compete individually against the clock on a temporary pylon course setup on a gravel parking lot. The “ICE Cup” will be four event series taking place on snow covered frozen lake and if things go well we will have a “DiRT Cup” later this year on more familiar gravel surface.
    Series will be held at Ghost Lake, and this document provides a program overview of the CSCC 2013 AutoCross Program.

    2 SCHEDULE
    We are planning 4 event series

    Definitely going to come out. I've got 175 non-studded so I'm banking on heavy snow to make a decent showing.

    Highly polished ice is what you will get. Buy some YakTrax if you value your life when standing out on the ice marshalling. Or even if you want to be able to stand...

    Not rough at all. Long as you got 4+ inches of ground clearance you're good.

    Very interested in doing this!

    Just to clarify: does it HAVE to be studded or can studless winters apply?

    Studless is fine -- I believe quite a few people are in that boat. The phrase "you are going to lose" has been used at least once

    This is a regular club event, so do dress *very* warm -- you will be standing outside on the lake surface for an hour or more when marshalling (chasing cones). And seriously, buy some grippers for your shoes or you won't be able to get out of the way when a car starts sliding in your direction. And don't forget a tarp for your car to park on in the pits -- it is mandatory.

    Spectators? I did read the thread but may have missed. Might run the S4 Avant on studs... Just a little worried about the terrain and losing a front bumper ....

    Any word? I picture the ice being nice a groomed so to speak. I will come prepared to enter the event, but may opt out when I see the terrain.

    Looking forward!
