Totally awesome! Congrats on getting into rally-type racing.I wish I saw more Vibe's in rally or autocross. A Vibe GT would make a good 2WD rally car for the Max Attack 2WD Rally Series.

I don't know if I'd want to participate (I'd be too afraid of wrecking the Vibe ), but it might be fun to just go and watch...

It's completely flat. http://vimeo.com/9864843http://www.yout ... LzckZZlDPQ

The course and the parking area was over 15" thick. That is more than enough to hold the cars. They have ONLY had anyone fall in when they go off the marked places like that guy did. He lucked out and only had mild water damage to the interior. The car still runs.

Such fun!!!Still waiting for a decent cold snap here... The ice is only 6" thick and while that will technically hold the Vibe I prefer to wait until the SUV's are on the ice and it's at least 12"!!!

we have ice racing here too, however it's a bit more... involved because it's wheel to wheel. That would be more considered like our winter rallycross series which is autocross on snow, ice, gravel, dirt anything other than pavement. One car on course at a time so unlikely to have major damage. Of course, 2 yrs ago, the first winter rally cross, my co-driver took my STI into the snow bank twice and caused $2500 of damage. The upside is that stemmed my regular co-driving of his car for autocross, 2009 Nissan GTR. He paid to have the front bumper replaced, and I still got to drive his car (and him mine to finish off the season).

I remember viewing all the pics and it truly looked like a lot of fun. Where else can you "slip & slide" on ice knowing that you're not going to crash into anyone/anything!

Plus he crashed his Vibe about 6-8 months ago and replaced it with the HHR Super you see in his sig now.
