Hey all, Hope everyone has been busy in the garage this winter staying happy, healthy, and warm! Don't let all the white stuff on the ground fool you. We are not too far away from having it melt and the 2021 time attack season starting! We have decided to make some much needed changes to our Pax classing index. Looking over the data from the past couple of years our pax index (That we use from Ontario time attack) has heavily favoured high HP cars. While this index may work for Ontario i think its obvious to see we are not having the same success. Lowered PAX cars are at a huge disadvantage and are simply unable to compete with higher tier cars. I believe this is due to the 2 massive straight-aways gimli has. The low HP cars just lose too much time down them. As such, The pax index has been updated to the following: Old PAX index New Pax index CLASS PAX FACTOR CLASS PAX FACTOR Open Mod 1.062 Open Mod 1.062 Mod 1 1.052 Mod 1 1.052 Mod 2 1.012 Mod 2 1.012 Mod 3 1 Mod 3 1 SGT1 0.988 SGT1 0.98 SGT2 0.976 SGT2 0.962 SGT3 0.964 SGT3 0.943 GT1 0.952 GT1 0.926 GT2 0.94 GT2 0.91 GT3 0.928 GT3 0.894 GT4 0.916 GT4 0.878 T1 0.904 T1 0.862 T2 0.892 T2 0.846 T3 0.88 T3 0.83 As you can see the change is minimal to none for the higher tier cars but lowered tier cars are given a much needed boost in order to compete. I've ran a couple of pretend events using some of our top drivers in assorted classes ranging from T3 all the way up to Mod 1 and I can say without a doubt that this will definitely close the massive gap. The original point of the pax index was to provide a fair and neutral playing ground where cars of all different classes can compete against each other fairly. We believe this new index classing will finally prove that statement true the WSCC time attack championship. As we believe this is a needed change to our championship this will not be voted upon. We are however open to any feedback or other changes you have to provide a more fair and equal playing ground. As always, If you have any other changes you would like to propose , please reach out to Brooke or I. See you all in a couple of months! Ian & Brooke ( & baby soon!)

It is with heavy heart that I unfortunately am announcing the cancellation of our 2021 Ice Race season. We were optimistically awaiting the formal wording of the new Feb 12 health guideline restrictions and unfortunately they appear more restrictive than earlier anticipated with regards to holding a gathering such as one of our ice race events. Despite the fact that the racers are all individually isolated within a car, and we could prohibit spectators, it takes many more people and volunteers to host a racing event and with a maximum organized gathering of 5 people there is no way we can adhere to the current restrictions. The recent provincial health guidelines can be found here: https://manitoba.ca/asset_library/en/proactive/2020_2021/orders-soe-02112021.pdf Despite the cancellation I would like to thank several other people that helped try and make this years season happen - Steve and Mat (for their logistical support), CLD Excavating (for their sponsorship support), Greg (tire building support) and many others who prepared their cars and helped spread the word for this years potentially awesome season. Much thanks! Stay healthy and we will hopefully see everyone on the ice in 2022!
