\"\"Sunday, January 12th, 25 racers headed to the new Freitag field for the first event of the season. Cold temperatures and a heavy wind for our first ever event at this new venue made it quite a chilly day. The wide-open rolling hills of this 140!!! acre field are going to make for some great events!<\/p>\n

The top time and first in Stock FWD for this inaugural event goes to Issac H, who piloted his Honda Prelude to victory by a mere 0.965 seconds over 2024 class Champion Charles P.  This close battle came down to cones hits with Charles\u2019s three costing him the win.  Charles also took 2nd<\/sup> overall, helping show that FWD may have its advantages in winter racing conditions.<\/p>\n

Stock RWD saw Brian T piloting his Camaro on course, and as more ice started to form, he was putting on a show.  Even with the show, he was able to beat Jeff W by less than a second.  Jeff was having shifter issues \u201cbecause his wife Candy broke it.\u201d  We\u2019re not sure we believe you on this Jeff!  Memories of Camry bumpers flying off and other incidents are still fresh in our minds. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

3rd fastest overall was Greg L, piloting the ever popular, unkillable RuSTI (04 Legacy) to a 4 second win in Stock AWD over Dave M in his clean STI.  Greg was fast out of the gate, with his first two runs of the day giving him this lead.  He was able to maintain it for the rest of the day despite having Dave hot on his heels.  Of special note in Stock AWD was the \u201902 BMW 325xi, whose owner was trying to give it a Viking\u2019s funeral with FOUR drivers pounding on it all day.  Amazingly, the car took this abuse without complaint.  Perhaps you guys need to actually give the car some love and keep in around after this impressive performance!\"\"<\/p>\n

6th fastest overall and first in Prepared FWD went to Devin P, despite some clutch issues with his RSX.  He was really tearing it up, putting down times faster than most of the AWD cars, even with having to hold the shifter into second gear.<\/p>\n

Modified RWD was a class of one with Todd F drifting his Jeep Wrangler around the course.  We hope you join us again Todd!<\/p>\n

5th fastest overall went to 2024 MAWD Champion Aaron B, who also captured first in Mod AWD.  Aaron would likely have ended up first overall, but he made a costly tire change at the break, in hopes of finding more speed.  Instead, these tires had less grip and caused him major control issues. 2nd in class went to Christopher G, who was handling his GMC Yukon like a vehicle 1\/4 its size. Chris raced with us once before a few years back and shocked everyone with how quick he can get his Yukon around a course.  As an aside, large, top-heavy SUV\/trucks like this cannot be raced with us in stock form.  Chris has greatly increased the track width of his Yukon, allowing it to meet our track width to height requirements.<\/p>\n

In the SXS class, Cory S was throwing his Maverick around and having fun.  We imagine it was awfully cold in that machine, so we hope you had a great time, Cory!<\/p>\n

\"\"Full results for the event can be seen here<\/a>.  I want to thank everyone that came out and raced with us, helped with teardown, and breaking into my truck! Perhaps it\u2019s time to add a lockout kit to the items in the rallycross trailer! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to see everyone back at the Freitag’s on February 2nd!!!  Be sure to get registered at www.msreg.com\/IAFebRallyX<\/a> as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
