For the course design, Cam and I were thinking the same thing at the last meeting!

Often in the past I have brought back course designs (or elements thereof) from the Packwood NT or the SCCA Nats etc.) from the 'States so we get a little taste of what is happening down there.

This time the West Course at Nationals was quite different and interesting in some ways. Some people did not like it. I'm sure the winners were ok with it.

Anyway, there was a lot of line choice and big, big open sweepers essentially so I'll be doing a take on those types of elements for the course design this coming weekend at YYC. Hmmm....maybe I can use some of the corner names too!?

How about a Beyond corner for all us beyonders attending?

[reijo]

What would you like to call it? Just "Beyond the corner" maybe? That may not have good connotations tho'!

[reijo]

Or maybe "Above and Beyond!"?

[rage2]

how about Beyond the Cones? Name the most difficult corner after that.

Registered. Not sure if I want to bring the S or the Mini.

Whats the process for spectators? I would have wanted to come drive but I can barely drive on the street let alone any kind of race with my foot fucked up.

Would be nice to come out and see things

There should be someone with a waiver at the gate. Most racers will take you for a ride as well, so either bring a helmet or find one of the loaners that the club has and ask away.

^ Thanks Stuart!

How does the wait list work for registration? Is there some kind of a notification?

[reijo]

We will review the situation probably on Friday night or so and see if we have any drops etc. and decide then whether to let more in.

You will get a notice if you get in from MSReg.com from me.

Time to get some sleep!

Here's some photos I took when I had a moment or two ... none from the 2nd heat when I was running etc. so they are not comprehensive per se:

Thanks again Reijo for such a great event! Great track design too, that Beyond the Cones corner was pretty awesome.

I think my rear alignment went off from hitting that jump in the middle of the track. Car won't turn left without drift mode oversteering anymore, even on the street.

You're welcome!

Ah, camber adjusting bolt probably worked loose ... Miatas are famous for that in autox conditions .... and even the occasional S2k.

Used to run a friend's CSP Miata years ago and he painted the camber bolt area and marked (with a marker) where the camber adjustment should be and we used to check the alignment after EVERY run! However we were running 275-35-15's on it ... 2005 lbs wt and about 1.5-1.6 sustained G's in corners so there was a lot of extra pressure on the connections than a stock Miata which corners around 0.85 G's ...
