It's snowing in upstate NY. Early days yet for a weekend weather forecast but it looks like the rally will see temps in the 20's and some snow. It all depends on the bands of lake effect snow coming off of the Great Lakes.

It's winter. This is the Winter Challenge Series. It's a TSD rally. Get the cobwebs dusted out and have some fun.

The Ithaca Winter Rally had over 30 entrants. Pre-registration is a very smart thing to do. More info at the FLR-SCCA website.
