Hey George,

This is especially directed to you.  Get that EVO out for some winter fun!

 

Monticello Motor Club


The MMC Winter Driving Series is designed to deliver driving excitement, rally car style, on our track that happens to be covered with ice and snow!


On January 10th, 2009, weather permitting, MMC will be opening for its second event this winter. An exciting fun filled day of getting sideways and mastering four-wheel drifts awaits you. Our last event on December 20th, 2008 featured Dave Mirra, BMX legend and 2008 Rally America Rookie of the Year along with Vermont Sports Car, who runs Subaru Rally Team USA. Dave drove his Open Class 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI rally car and was able to improve his lap time by nearly 1 minute by the end of the day. Check out www.drivemmc.com for pictures.



Utilizing the South Circuit, groomed to perfection, the Winter Driving Series will be open to all licensed driving enthusiasts. Bring your friends and family to watch as you test the limits of your car through time-trials, open lapping sessions, and other exciting formats. Just because winter is here doesn't mean the motoring fun must come to a halt. So let it snow at the Monticello Motor Club.



Winter Driving Series Highlights:



* MMC South Circuit - 1.8 Miles with 11-turns consisting of large sweepers, increasing and decreasing radius corners, and thrilling elevation changes.

* Exciting Formats - Go against the clock in head to head time trials or test, tune, and practice your skills in our open lapping sessions.

* Rally Events - Break out the rally car, mix it up with fellow drivers of Rally New York and the USRC to put on a show for spectators.
