dates and times are subject to change! Mother nature has been known to not play nice, so remember this all depends if there is enough 'base' to still run the important winter driving schools!

Events open to members and nonmember, come on out and be part of the winter fun!

Prizes available from our good friends at Talon tire and maybe another supporter, details soon.

For NIGHT events, please have at least one working headlight and tail-light.
MCO will provide reflective safety vests for you when marshalling, they must be worn.
Over head facility Lights will be used. They light up the paddock and winter oval track very well.

For all events,
Speed limit on the Access road and paddock is 10KPH ...save it for the track.
Make sure your vehicle has no leaks.


Clean off all the salt crud before entering the facility.
Please do not walk in front of the timing truck and always go to the drivers side to get your run times.
Please bring a shovel to help get the snow back on the track at the end of the day.

can i attend snowx if i am not running for champinship, I'd like to practice winter driving? Is it ok to use daily car, or there is a risk of damaging the car.

yup, no need to be in the championship.

best place to practice driving!

I use daily driver, lots of people do.

There's always risk in anything we do, if you have hubcaps try and remove them and best advice is stay off the snowbanks anyway, they just slow you down. [wink]

Just a note to anyone planning to come up to the MCO Snowcrosses. The warm weather has played h*ll with our track, so check before you come.

There is only rubber, and there is only one FWD class. (There is a separate 'race' class if you have tractionized tires, etc.)

The car needs to be muffled and the battery secure, seatbelts, etc. ... it is technically an autocross.

No events expected for a while, though. The track has melted. :(
