I know its an Ontario forum but I also know a lot of Atlantic Region folks read this. Plus we've had people show up all over the provinces and New England to the events so it can't hurt to get the word out there.
All events are around Nova Scotia 20-40 minutes from Halifax.
Stay tuned for Rally Sprint event notifications this spring!
The Bluenose Autosport Club 2008/2009 Rally Cross Series!
Interested in getting a taste of rally driving?

Perhaps you're an AutoSlalom junkie looking for a cone-dodging fix during the long winter months? Or maybe just interested in some hands on driving experience in slippery, less than ideal conditions, to better prepare you for our soon to be slippery winter streets? Then participating in a BAC RallyCross event would be just right for you!
RallyCross is an off-road AutoSlalom event. A number of times between October and May we will haul out the cones and timing equipment at the Scotia Speed World spectator parking lot and or the AMP (back 40 as it known locally) parking lot to rip it up against the clock in the mud, snow, gravel and what ever mother nature throws at us. Whether you have a Stunning STI or a Rusted-out Rabbit, come out to an event and give it a try!
We are pleased to announce that the BAC RallyCross Challenge will be held again this year. We are hoping to continue on the fun and success of the last few years.
