As you can see, venues are up in the air at the moment. We've ran into a snag with using the Cannon Falls sight this year, besides the owner planting on it in the summer, so we did some brainstorming at the rallycross planning meeting and will be pursing these new venues strongly! We are still in need of more ideas for sites and are open to anyones suggestions or reccomendations. Please PM myself or Tim (Tim Da Plumber) on here.

We look forward to seeing everyone on the field, old and new, this coming year!

ICE RACE: auto-x/rally-x/time trials on the lake

Ice Race @ Lindstrom 1/22/13

---

The Lindstrom race is ON! Permit and insurance are in place. Registration will be at Arby's in Lindstrom. Access will be at the public boat ramp between Chisago City and Lindstrom. We will be welcomed at the Chisago Roadhouse after the racing on both days.

 

To get to the Arby’s for registration, from Hwy 8, turn north on County Rd 14 just before Lindstrom.  Then take an immediate right onto the short frontage road to get to the parking lot.  Google maps will NOT give you an accurate location if you search by name.  Use this link; http://goo.gl/maps/rbheZ .

 

To get to the lake access from registration, head back west on Hwy 8.  Turn south from Hwy 8 on Shoquist Ln between Chisago City and Lindstrom and go straight into the public access ramp.  http://goo.gl/maps/VO8Sm

 

Follow the shoreline to the left to get to the pit area.

 

Chisago Roadhouse is on the south side of Hwy 8 in Chisago City http://goo.gl/maps/aFPG4

 

We do not have a building available to go to for worker lunches.  Mark Knepper will be making the lunches and serving them on the lake.
