With no rallies in Western Canada happening until the fall, development continues on the new car. Thanks to @insaneshafts on working with us to get us sorted with their 500hp rated axles! 💪🏼

Rear axle part 2!
Here I am laying on the ground installing a new axle in the production car mid stage (I believe dogleg) at Rocky Mountain rally. That was the year I broke so many axles that I actually packed a new axle in the car with my toolkit. Zoom in and see the pieces of the axles on the ground, broke into three pieces!
In under 10 minutes from stopping, I had the new axle installed and we just managed to get to the end of stage, and make it back to service before max late time! Rally life-never give up, be prepared for anything!

I recall one of the years racing in my Production 4wd rally car where I broke 8 rear axles in the season. We all know how much prep, time and money goes into showing up for a rally weekend. There is nothing worse than to DNF due to a mechanical failure. This is why I decided to upgrade to an overkill set of axles from #thedriveshaftshop in the open 4wd rally car. Having peace of mind that they can take the abuse without leaving us stranded in the middle of a stage.

All ready but no where to go... round 1 of the WCRC cancelled.

-PMSC RallyX Announcement-

PMSC have announced plans to move forward with the Peterborough Mitsubishi Motors Rally Cross Championship this summer.

Five events have been scheduled with up to 40 entrants being accepted for each:

May 29
Jun 26
Jul 24
Aug 14
Sep 18

Seen in the thumbnail above, check out Flog Racing’s pretty quick tour of the track on YouTube. That said, there are some big changes expected for 2021 that may appear a bit different than what you see!

The existing Track is now known as West Track and is to be extended at both ends allowing up to a 2.7km long course! In addition a 2km East Track is also under construction. Looking forward to the options this will open up for RallyX events.

For more details and to register visit “pmsc rally DOT com/RX”. Spots are already filling up!

Ray at @trialengineering put in some work yesterday to get the car tuned for the upcoming season! We’re very happy with the final numbers - but those are our secret 🤫😉

The floor mounted pedal box

This time last week we were shaking off the rusties at MCO Rallycross! Great to be able to get some practice after many months of not driving. It was also the first time since Perce-Neige a few years ago that the car has been out in the snow and ice. Thanks to @will_arnold and your team for putting on some fun and well-organized events, and to @capital_tuning and @jpknowsottawa for sponsoring the series. Looks like a nice community is starting up, hoping the momentum keeps going. Thank you Andy Vathis for the great photos. @andyvathis

-2020 ORRC Series Winners-
Congratulations to the 2020 winners of the Ontario Road Rally Championship! Pictured left to right is:
Novice Navigator and Driver Team Eric Vanderwal and Zach Jansen; and rival Expert Driver Alain Cabardos and Expert Navigator Bruce Leonard.

Last year was a challenging season with only five out of nine ORRC events running, three of which took place before the pandemic began. With that said, two ORRC events were successfully organized and run in complete COVID compliance when conditions permitted. Many thanks to the volunteers and organizers who went the extra mile(s) to make that happen. And, as pictured, road rallies can be successfully run in ANY road going car; one might even argue that the added challenge of non-performance car makes it all that much more fun on all the twisty gravel backroads that these events run on! We’re looking forward to hopefully running more events this year as vaccinations are ramping up!

The full podiums below:

Expert Navigator
1. Bruce Leonard
2. Louis Cabardos
3. Kurt Seelenmayer

Expert Driver
1. Alain Cabardos
2. Jane Leonard
3. Darin Mayes

Novice Navigator
1. Eric Vanderwal
2. Connie Dewar
3. Brian Maynard

Novice Driver
1. Zach Jansen
2. Elgin Dewar
3. David Maynard

Club Participation Winner: KWRC

What suspension are you running on your rally car...

First event of the 2021 season is a month away as of today...trying to control it but a wee bit excited 😜 🤘

2021 OPRC Update:

With regret, a not entirely unexpected announcement from Warren Haywood, the LHFR Organizer.

“The Lanark Highlands Forest Rally organising committee has decided that with the still present health risks related to COVID 19, and the existing travel restrictions between the various impact zones the 2021 event will not take place on the planned date.
The committee will continue to explore alternatives for 2021 and update the event social channels as plans develop later in the year.”

Although LHFR won’t be able to take place on May 1-2 as planned we hope that there is still enough time left in the year to get some good news about the possibility of rescheduling this event!

Found some sweet old promo merch today!!!! @alan_ockwell @theotherockwell #cdnrally #alanismyhero

My personal mobile jungle gym is coming along nicely, thanks to @patcyr86 the capable and knowledgeable fabricators at @cyriousgarage. While it has widely been acknowledged among experienced rallyists that buying a used logbooked car rather than building one is the most cost effective way to get into rally, I could not imagine doing it any other way than this. Super excited to see the progress on this car and to *hopefully* have my very first logbook in hand by this time next week! Patience and persistence pays off! As does getting some seriously talented help! Here’s hoping conditions will improve and I’ll finally be on the other side of the caution tape at some rally events before the end of the year!

#tbt to the engine build in the rally car. My main man Max, wielding the wrenches. He is the only one I blindly trust with anything subaru, race or street. So if you want your subie worked on correctly drop him a line. #max_ssti

The one snowbank that didn’t get me. The last photo shows the challenging visibility in the morning. Otherwise a fun day to get this rusty driver some practice!

Thank you to Kevin Raftery at PCJ Sport Photography for braving the snow to capture us in action.

A challenging and fun day at the first MCO Rallycross of 2021 is in the books. I spent more time in the snowbank than I would have liked, but it was just great to be back in the car. Looking forward to the next one!

Thank you to @will_arnold and his team for putting on the event, and all the work they do to maintain the facility. Also thank you to @jpknowsottawa and @capital_tuning for their sponsorship of the series.
