Even more frenzied for the folks in Calgary on Saturday and Sunday is that the racing will be run on ice. “We were excited to bring something different to Calgary and utilize such a legendary and iconic Stampede Park and GMC Stadium in a new way,” continued Terlizzi. “We thought that with adventure being such a big part of the culture here, we thought that fans would be into it — and that’s what we’re seeing.Nitro RX is the brainchild of driver Travis Pastrana, who was looking to create a more exciting brand of racing.
“We wanted to put Nitro Rallycross on a variety of surfaces,” said Terlizzi, further describing the vehicles as the most powerful in rally cross that accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h faster than a Formula One car. “So we wanted to be on snow and ice in Calgary and also in Quebec. We’ve been on dirt in Phoenix and Los Angeles. We’ve been on a different kind of dirt in Minnesota. And we’ve been on mostly tarmac in Sweden and the United Kingdom.
“Every lap, the track changes,” said American driver Conner Martell. “It gets slower. Sometimes a corner gets more grip or less grip depending on how much we dig up the ice. We make very deep ruts, so it gets very inconsistent.
