Hello, i’m a new member wanting to get involved with autocross.

I see theres a practise event in airdrie on the 17th. Do you have to be a member to drive?

Also the helmet I have that meets the requirements is a dirt bike helmet. Is that a problem? Do i need to wear goggles too?

Your helmet may or may not work. Please read through this section: https://web.sascsolo.com/autocross-101/

Be careful once you take a chance at driving it can become very addictive

General Discussion / Re: Removing Cone Marks

« on: August 07, 2020, 11:22:11 AM »

Just thought I'd share my recent discovery. I've typically used Mothers R3 Racing Rubber Remover to remove cone scuffs and it works very well but it is aggressive, it definitely takes off any paint sealant or wax you may have had on the car in that area. Recently I was removing bug guts from the front with Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover and noticed it took cone marks out like butter and it doesn't seem to be nearly as harsh.

What do you know about hitting cones?

It was me.

SASC Events / 2020 Season Event Stewards NEEDED

« on: June 16, 2020, 10:44:45 AM »

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

In order to take some of the burden off of our executive we're looking for 2020 SASC Season Members to step up to the plate and take on the role of 'Event Steward' for an event or two this season. Being the event steward puts you in charge of making sure the day runs smoothly. Some of the tasks the Event Steward is responsible for include:

- Ensuring there are adequate resources to transport cones & timing equipment to site and subsequently take these items back to storage/home
- Ensuring the drivers meeting starts on time
- Ensuring the first car out on course is on time
- Ensuring change overs are done in a timely manner
- Determining how many runs in the AM and how many runs in the PM in order to ensure we finish on time
- Dealing with any safety or weather issues as they arise

The event steward is typically one of the first folks on site in the morning and one of the last folks to leave in the afternoon. It's a fairly demanding and very important role but it has it's rewards, such as not having to fetch cones  . We need more folks to step up to the plate and help with taking on the event steward role, course designer role and also helping out with hauling cones & timing equipment if we want our season to proceed. If we don't have enough volunteers to help run the events smoothly we will risk having to cancel events.

At this time we're only requesting that experienced folks that have done several events with us in the past take on this role but there will be opportunities to shadow an event steward in order to learn for the less experienced folks that may be interested.

The executive have put together some excellent tools to assist the event steward in making sure the event runs smooth located here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KDmbFnzqgxGdMIYMlF8Bm8hrl5dq7_kI
