Looks like a pretty interesting car, sadly seems like most of the newer models are all being laden with “safety” features that would annoy me personally.

My Mazda 3 has all that stuff, never been a problem.  I too thought the same as you once, but having owned my Mazda 3 for over a year now it has never caused any issues, no regrets here. All of it can be turned off too.

I’ve seen what happens when it goes wrong outside of warranty, I’d avoid it at all cost. Not just that but I would find it annoying to have to turn it off every time I drive the car. I don’t like the complexity and weight that brings with it either.

Good thing I’m not in the market for a new car  :P

Only thing I have to turn off is traction/stability, I leave smart city braking on same as blind spot monitoring, neither have had any negative impact on my driving.  Lane departure warning stays off without needing to change it every time I drive.  Now in reference to after warranty, I guess fingers crossed I don't have any issues at that point in time.

Anyone want to buy a 350Z?
 :'(

Why? Next summer Badlands is expected to have a track open, possibly the skid pad too.

I should be able to help out tomorrow night with setup.

At this point in time, 9 events into the 14 event Championship, I feel it's inappropriate for the SASC to even consider a change to this season's attendance requirements. That's a decision to be made pre-season, or at this year's AGM for next season.

My personal opinion is that it's too the club's detriment to marginalize attendance at Fort Macleod and risk losing it. A venue lost historically is never recovered.

Also my opinion that this year's Fort Macleod events have been below SASC standards. We can't do anything about the weather, but organizationally we must improve.
- First car out 10:00 sharp, means drivers meeting 9:30 sharp
- 40-50 sec course designs only

This weekend...
- First car out 10:26
- +80 sec course average
- ~4 hrs to complete 3 runs each
If...
- First car out @ 10:00
- ~40 sec course
- 3 morning runs completed @ ~12:00
- ~60 min lunch break
- 3 afternoon runs completed @ ~3:00
- Course cleanup, on the road by ~4:00
- Home by ~6:00

It's not rocket science!!

Maybe save the longer courses for practice events and put a cap on the number of entries allowed for said longer courses.

Hey guys, so Im not "in over my head" for my course design. But, I would definitely appreciate if I could borrow someone for an hour on a weekend to meet up at say a Tim Hortons and help me get a head start on my course design.  I have a few things in mind and should be able to put it all together fairly quickly.  My biggest problem is that I don't own a computer, so Im trying to do everything on my smart phone, not very smart right? ;)

Any help would be much appreciated, iced caps are on me for anyone who is able to lend me a hand some weekend before August.

Today was a real eye opener for me, I really need to get back to H-street lol.  I also need to get my butt in gear and go see Cam for an alignment so I can squeeze everything I have out of my current setup.
