Our first rallycross of 2026 was organized on short notice and was just for fun and practice. While we did have timing we didn’t have penalties or awards. It wasn’t part of our championship series.
The weather was sunny but cold, with a high of about -11°C and only a light breeze. There was enough snow that the banks would draw you in if you challenged them, causing many halts as errant cars were extracted by our two tow vehicles, often operating on separate incidents at the same time.
When we plowed the track we tried to keep some snow on it so it wouldn’t turn to mud in the sun, and that worked well for the most part. The snow became icy fairly quickly and staying on the track was a challenge for some people.

Full results are at https://kwrc.blither.net/registrants.asp?eid=75. There are some glitches in the scoring due to multiple stoppages for cars having to be towed out of snow banks and timing system issues with the cold weather.
A huge thank you to everybody who helped make the day such a success; Jim and Alton keeping busy all day recovering vehicles, Jeff for heading field operations, Brandon & Justin for start line duties, Damian for flagging, Darin for the timing system and Mark for track setup and keeping everything running. Teresa helped make the chili on Friday. It was a real team effort.
