BAC RallyCross Series Continues to Explode!

The 2015-2016 Bluenose Autosport Club RallyCross series continues its exceptional growth patterns with yet another record setting event! Sunday saw 62 (SIXTY TWO!) drivers take to the beautifully snowy/frozen surface of Scotia Speed World to race against traction and the clock. Attendance at the event was boosted by the Low Motion Winter Challenge, a cross-promotional championship by the local Low Motion car club.

When the flakes settled first in AWD (and Overall) was veteran Rallyist and former BAC RallyCross Champion Mel Smith, followed closely by the Prepared class winner, Jonathan Conrad in second overall. Newcomer Daniel Salmon took FWD top honors in 6th place overall while top RWD went to Scott Montgomerie in 24th place.

Unfortunately regular photographer Harold Merklinger couldn’t stay to shoot this event, but a variety of other photographers were present and many have been posting their images to the RallyEast Facebook Group.

The 6th event of the BAC RallyCross Championship takes place on February 7th. Please note the venue change from Atlantic Motorsport Park to Scotia Speed World! This event will be starting at the new earlier time as well. Check the Facebook link in the events calendar for full details.

For those in New Brunswick or who don’t mind some travelling to go sideways, the Moncton Motorsport Club will be holding a RallyCross this Sunday, January 31st. See the details in the Facebook link in the events calendar for details.
