Member Discussion (Private) / Re: Operational Improvements for Aug 20th« on: August 10, 2016, 04:00:24 PM »I know this to be true, but the general population apparently does not believe it. I think it is important for the general population to hear this every event from the event chair. I am sorry to report that I heard much more about this issue at this past Sundays event than I ever expected from our group. Its a growing problem apparently and I firmly believe we need to address it publicly for at least 1 event to ensure it doesn't get out of hand. If anything needs to be explained, it might be that some of our regular members have failed in the past, and taken measures or made modification to allow them to pass. 78

Springs and bars are legal. TRD wheels, short shifter and airbox are not.

Hi Dan,
I wasn't aware of that difference between Canadian models and American ones. Yes you can install the TRD springs and sway bars. They were a port option for our cars anyways. You also mentioned to me on Sunday that you weren't in street class because of camber bolts. Aftermarket camber bolts are indeed illegal, but Toyota does have a crash bolt that offers marginally more camber that is legal for the class. 80
Member Discussion (Private) / Re: Potential New Calgary lot dates? Which ones?« on: July 27, 2016, 12:42:36 PM »
We are hopeful, but as this lot is not yet officially locked down, I'm going to lock this post before speculation gets out of hand, or other events conspire to compromise the possible agreement. I trust that the executive will get the job done for us so that and we can enjoy in the future.

Technical Talk / Re: Novice Guide!« on: May 13, 2016, 06:40:36 AM »Some say there are many ways to handle a steering wheel. I found as I progressed over the years, I gradually began to shuffle steer more and more such that I currently almost exclusively do it: I find it "more comfortable" to have my hands at 3 and 9 when going around a corner. However in a quick transition or corner I have some times found I do not have enough time to move my hands so then I use some other technique and even hand over hand .... or pre-position my hands prior to entering the corner ... anticipating the corner (I still find that difficult to remember to do ... an on-going work you might say). I think I would have said something very similar. I'm sure that I still haven't mastered it, and am jerky on occasion... but the thought of crossing over now gives me the willies. 83

SASC Events / Re: 2016 Solo Pro Schools.« on: April 11, 2016, 06:52:07 PM »Always wanted to take the Extreme school, I've taken comp more times than I can count (but still learn lots every time I go). However for me personally committing to 2 days is a bit difficult, if Extreme was a 1 day I'd take it, if not, comp. +1 90
