2014 CSCC/SASC autoslalom/autox Season Schedule and information

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

I can't stand the road noise in my car with the seats down but that's the only way to bring my winters in case it snows too much, I'll be there tomorrow for sure.

[Murray Peterson]

It snowed almost all day today, but the snow never stuck to the pavement. Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer, so I can't see snow tires being needed,

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Yeah I drove around Calgary today on the RS-3s, damn slidey but tomorrow should be good.

[reijo]

Yes,we ran today - no problem and actually more traction than we had expected!

The traction is likely due to the very aggressive aggregate int he airport asphalt mix used and sharp edges such that cold and wet conditions do not affect the traction as much.

So, we had an enjoyable day.

This morning there was a bit of snow but the pavement around town was simply wet (ground is warm enough now) so there should be no problem driving down tomorrow on summers.

And, you won't have a problem with traction on the pavement as we saw yesterday - drier and warmer tomorrow.

So c'mon down!

Today was awesome! Shout out to Murray and Reijo and all the others working away all day long. First auto-x and it was a total blast.

Nice meeting you!


Ya today was a blast.... I think I might of had more fun driving my C63 than I did driving at Las Vegas exotics racing lol.

Great day.

[Murray Peterson]

Glad you enjoyed yourselves!

I was impressed, I've never seen someone autocross with 3 passengers before :rofl:

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Happy with how my BRZ did, just needs a few tweaks down the road.

[Murray Peterson]

In my car, the driver needs the tweaks. The car is under-prepared by a long shot, but it's still my driving that is the limiting factor. I left over a second on the table this weekend, and that second would have been enough for the win :(

More schooling, more practise...

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

I am not anywhere near good enough but I think the key for me is looking further ahead and more seat time, I want to set my car and forget it so it's the same every event instead of constantly battling changes like I have in the past.

Looking ahead is the permanent fixture of this sport :) I prefer to call it by a different name: planning and scanning ahead.

You were beating me by 3 seconds with a 140hp disadvantage, I'd say you're driving is pretty good :thumbsup:

Finally got a video up:

that looks super fun.
Makes me wanna fix my car...

[ka-t240sx]

I would love to get out to one of these, but my car would never pass noise regulation :(

[Murray Peterson]

Buy one of these to get your sound levels down to an acceptable level: : http://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/sup-456-2508/overview/

[reijo]

Want to spend the entire weekend getting some serious seat time?

Last minute drop in the local SoloPro Driving School at Fort Macleod Airport and the one person on the wait list said he already made plans.

Anyone interested in an Intro School on Saturday? The place is yours if you speak up! First come, first served.

There are also some Comp spots open.

Let me know quick ... I'm heading south tomorrow (Friday) afternoon but will be in touch via the 'net some time Friday evening thereafter.

This is a really good chance for someone to get some serious coaching and seat time this weekend for both days!

Cheers!

[Stuart]

Only a few days left to sign up for the event this Sunday up in Red Deer. The weather is looking fairly nice as well (if you can trust a forecast four days out)

[reijo]

Next events this coming weekend - practice/school on Sat. June 28 and Championship event on Sunday, June 29 - Fort Macleod Airport:

Sign up here: http://www.karelo.com/restdetail.php?&BT=10&BID=334

On the Saturday, it appears we have a few younger people looking for a school and I'm thinking I will make it a bit more formal "school" ... sort of like the SASC winter schools but perhaps with slightly more competition focus, of course.

So, if you know someone who would be interested in trying autox/autoslalom/slalom/solo competition without the pressure, this would be a good one for them. Let them know - this coming Saturday, June 28.

BTW, the site is large enough that we are able to have a separate school course so that the practice can go on unhindered.....if necessary.

See you out there!

Reijo

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Looking forward to event 4 on Sunday. Hopefully will have my alignment sorted and 255s back on for them.

[Sugarphreak]

[reijo]

July 19/20 is being changed to a WCMA (Western Canada Motorsport Association) regional event! There is no practice except that we may set up a practice event on the Friday (July 18).

This is something being organized a bit last minute but is a work in progress. It's going to be a bigger event with people from throughout the province and likely from outside there .... So it would be a definitely fun event to attend!

R

[Sugarphreak]

...

[reijo]

Yep, lots of cheap and clean places to stay there. I usually stay at DJ's motel myself .... Red Coat Inn is across the street and another one next door ... C.... something or other...

www.fortmacleod.com

R

[reijo]

Well, this weekend would be best .... maybe come out for part of a day if nothing else........you can easily do a part day on Saturday if you like and still get a reasonable amount of seat time.

R

[Sugarphreak]

...

[reijo]

I'm sure you'll do ok! As for DFL? Probably not ... we are getting quite a bit of new interest this year.

How is the regional event going to be ran? 3 runs Saturday + 3 runs Sunday and the best of each combined? Or will they be ran as separate events? Do the points count towards CSCC/SASC championship? I don't know if I'll be able to attend both days.

[reijo]

For the Regional Championship there is a minimum of 3 runs each day (4 is more likely). Your best time of each day is added together to determine your final finishing place for the WCMA regional event.

However for club points, you have a valid question/point since originally only the Sunday would count and that may still be the case. I have to discuss that with Stuart.

thanks Murray ... couldn't recall the Century II when I wrote the post....

Thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

[k1l4m]

Anyone planning to go this Saturday/Sunday?

[reijo]

14 signed up for Saturday and 17 for Sunday right now ... A number of us went to Packwood, WA for the SCCA National Tour and Pro Solo these past two weekends and just got back (just last night myself) so there will be a bump to the numbers within the next few days as we get our bearings again.

:)

R

[k1l4m]

Thanks, signed up for both days :thumbsup:

[94boosted]

Any updates on the numbers attending Reijo? I think I'll only be able to make the Sunday :(

[Murray Peterson]

19 Saturday, 27 Sunday at this point.

Any attempt to predict attendance is difficult, since so many people register at the last minute.

[reijo]

I have 19 and 27 respectively on karelo right now ... and missing a couple or three of people I know of who have not signed up yet so say 22 and 30 thus far.

But Friday tends to be the busiest sign-up day so later in the day is the true number plus 5-10 who show up at the site .... so similar nos. to the last day we had out there at the airport for Sunday and somewhat less on Saturday.

Sometimes it depends on the weather too however we do run in the rain and down in Fort Macleod if it rains at all it usually is of short duration so we get mainly dry days even when rain is forecast.

R

[reijo]

There is more information at the CSCC web site regarding extra prizes such as cash, give-aways (car goodies), coupons and there will also be event T-shirts (and they look really good ... going to get a couple myself). You are likely to come home with some goodies.

See you guys sunday. I saw Reijo in his S2000 early this afternoon in the NW.

Hmmm....yes, was near Market Mall .... just north of :)

See you all this weekend!

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

It should be up now.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Congrats to all that came out today!

Hopefully I can figure my car out before next weekend so I cam keep running...

[xnvy]

Weather dependent, I'll be there on the 27th. Maybe I can ride in the Impulse then!

Missed posting this up here earlier. Next event is Sunday in Red Deer.

Sugarphreak, I'll cruise with you. Can't help if you break down but at least you'll have someone to talk To haha.

[Joe-G]

I'm signed up fot the 27th as well. Will probably try to attend the RDSCC event the day before too, also at the Westerner.

[Sugarphreak]

...

[A2VR6]

DOH... the next 4 events directly conflict with weddings/other events that i've previously agreed to attend the day before :banghead:

Looks like im more or less done till September *sigh* :(

[Murray Peterson]

It's not a lost cause, you just have drive farther. Check out Edmonton (weeknights), Montana, Kelowna, Vancouver for events.

[Sugarphreak]

[xnvy]

Awesome. Any one else want to cruise up together? Maybe meet at Deerfoot Mall or something?

38th out of 52 in PAX. I feel like I had a lot more in me. The raw time I hit was a lot faster than I expected though :burnout:

[Sugarphreak]

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Murray is still faster than me in raw time, I need to learn how to drive and stop letting my car do it for me...

[Murray Peterson]

Originally posted by Sugarphreak
I can imagine, you were pulling off some great times on street tires!

Not good enough though. To PAX 2nd, I needed to run about 0.5 seconds faster. I kept overshooting that pin turn, which cost me dearly :(

[xnvy]

Yeah pretty solid runs for both of you guys.

Isuzu was fun to watch as it picked up that wheel.

[benyl]

Can people still join in on this action? I have a line on a free 2002 RSX base.

Some good tires and it should be fun to participate in the stock class.

Jo and I won't be there. We are in P.E.I. competing in the 2014 Canadian National Championship. We won't get home until late that evening.

[benyl]

Can someone confirm the tire/wheel rules on an otherwise stock car for me?

Can increase diameter of wheel by 1"
Width to remain stock
Offset to remain stock
Can use optional sizing from the factory

Tire must be 7/32nd with 200 wear rating.

[BavarianBeast]

1 question..

I want to come and plan on either bringing my E92 S/C M3 or my B5 S4..

The one thing I am worried about is my M3 being too loud.. In the self-declatation form it states that sound levels must be within limits of the event, how loud are these limits?

Thanks.

I am not going to name any names, but my buddy is running headers plus straight pipe exhaust on his Corvette and hasn't had any issues this year thus far. Even at Castrol race way no one complained, I wouldn't worry about it.

Width to remain stock - Yes
Offset to remain stock - within +/- 1/4" of stock
Can use optional sizing from the factory - Yes

Tire must be 7/32nd with 200 wear rating - Yes but until 2015 you can use a tire with a 140 wear rating haha

Tire width restriction? Or just stock sizing?
