Coming Events – March is Rally Month in Calgary area

Canadians are starting to get the motorsports bug …. however only events in Alberta are the rally’s.  Rallying tends to take place in the winter, spring and fall avoiding the general population out in the forests :)

March is full of rallying of all kinds …

Cochrane Rally Action!

March 6-7 … Cochrane Winter Rally, First event of the Western Canada Rally Championship. A full on stage rally using roads northwest of Cochrane. A popular season opening rally with conditions varying from dry gravel to deep snow. Volunteers and spectators are always welcome.  Check the website.

March 20-21 … Stage Rally school in Calgary.  See the previous post for more information.

March 27 … Trail of the GNU, a challenging and fun “time-speed-distance” rally where the scores are based on how accurate you are to the specified speed (10% below the posted limits). Anyone with a safe vehicle can enter.

March 14 … Rallycross (or Winter Autocross). Takes place in a large open gravel (or snow/ice) covered lot. A short couse is set up with pylons and cars are timed one at a time. Great fun in your everyday car!

All these events are put on by the Calgary Sports car Club.

Also, the final weekend of the NASCC Ice Racing Series takes place in Lac la Biche Alberta this weekend.
