SCCA LoL Region Tax Brake Rallycross - 4/13/13

Here we go again, folks! The 2013 SCCA Land O' Lakes Rallycross season will be kicking off Saturday, April 13th at the brand-new venue, H & Z Tree Farms, in Hastings, MN! For those of you with a dirty and competitive side, come out and show us your skills on a timed dirt course. This is a great venue for beginner drivers as it is an open course with soft dirt, and the safety stewards do a great job at keeping the course smooth with good flowing lines. Come out, join the fun, and get your adrenaline pumping! The cost of entry is cheap, and your daily-driven car is all you need. This is a great way to get some seat time in on an unpaved surface, and to really see what your car can do!
Not sure if you want to try it? Come out with an approved helmet, and ride along for FREE to experience it first-hand. Just ask around, and you'll find a willing driver in no-time to let you ride-along.
