practice events :D that would be awesome!!! This might even convince me not to chop off my secondary catalytic converter so that Im still within the decibel limits.
-
Excellent. I love it.
-
Is there a sign up somewhere for the schools?
-
Soon.
-
Can't wait! Going to try and make it out to all the YYC events.
Will the "new venue" be in Calgary as well?

No ... an hour or so out. No more hints until we actually speak with the people since I don't really want to build any hopes at this time. However we heard that they are looking to rent to clubs such as ours so we'll see. This is a positive sign.

So am I correct that there are 8 scheduled championship events "for points" (noted by SASC / CSCC Championship Event) or do some of these other ones (such as the challenges or Regionals) count towards club points?
-
;D WOWWOWWOW ;D
This really makes me want a dedicated car with so many events being scheduled now. Thanks for all your work SASC and CSCC organizers!
-
Note that the CSCC has yet to add their events at the Westerner at Red Deer yet. I'll let someone else explain how the points are going to work. All I remember is that you'll have to run at all three venues a certain no. of times and so many events in total in order to be in the running.
But, yes, I think this will be an epic year! Looking forward to it!

Ruthlessly I stole this post and will maintain it on the WSC forum site. Hope you all don't mind, but I gave all the credits for the work put forward

Quick question about the schedule posted, and I'm probably mis-remembering what was said at the meeting, but I thought we were making the June 18/19 2-day YYC event the WCMA regional?
Also I'm really sorry to keep everybody waiting for the CSCC's Red Deer schedule. I have been working with Jerry from the RDSCC and Kelly from Westerner Park and trying to get a schedule put together but we haven't been able to set a time for a meeting just yet. Any day now I hope!
As for the championship points, somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we were planning to use your best 7 events, however you MUST have at least 2 events from each venue (Fort Macleod, YYC, Red Deer).
I'm hoping to get about 5 events in Red Deer this summer which combined with the ones above should make for one PACKED season. There will be more events than you can shake a stick at! Maybe even more than you can shake TWO sticks at!
-
Yes, I have contacted Jim W. about the two-day WCMA on June 17/18 .... as discussed in the meeting.
Jim does not have any schedules from any other clubs yet. But he did not see a problem with having a 2-day WCMA event that weekend ... so we are on.

Correct, we tentatively determined that if we had 12 championship events (4 @ each venue) we would go with best 7/12, minimum 2 at each venue
(Fort Macleod/Calgary/Red Deer) to qualify.
-
Should we update the schedule then? It shows the June weekend as being a challenge event with the WCMA regional in August right now.

Yes ... have to make that change - DONE!

At first I was dissapointed with the early in the season placement of this year's school but see why as the CND nationals is awefully early in the season as well and it makes sense to have the school ahead of that.
-

Any idea when this will be decided? If there are 12 championship events, does that mean that both days of the two-day events at YYC will count?
Speaking purely selfishly for myself, I won't be able to come out as often this year, and definitely won't be able to make both days on any given weekend, so I'd prefer a smaller number of championship events and not to have weekends where both days count.

Usually the Cdn. Nationals has been a couple of weeks before the SCCA Nationals (1st week of September) but this year the VCMC decided to make it the week before the Packwood Tour and Pro so conceivably someone could do all two or three events in one sweep or so went the reasoning. Packwood is around 5 hrs drive south (more or less) of Vancouver.
The SoloPro has traditionally been held at mid-end of May or early June so people can get a bunch of seat time in and get on the "right track" and shake off the winter rust. We used to try and avoid the May long weekend due to Knox Mtn. but noticed that that was not as much of a conflict as before and I think it works out pretty good for travel time etc. and still have an extra day off.

This was decided at the last executive meeting. All of the days count as a single event except practice events. We may be adding more practice days and maybe an event or two at a new venue, plus the 5 or so at the Westerner so there are more events than ever to choose from to get 7 events in, min. of 2 per venue (in order to get people to try the various venues ... except the new one - tba).
As for Fort Macleod, the time limit for the comments from the public expired on Saturday, Feb. 25, so I imagine we will hear very soon after the council meeting on Monday, Feb. 27 ... so any day I would imagine. There are no minutes on their web site since Jan. 23/17 as of right now ...

We have our permit for Fort Macleod. Just have to get insurance.

Hooray! Thanks for your hard work Reijo.

Thanks but really, Wayne and Tom (?) went down to Fort Macleod and did the applications etc. this time! Team work is working out!
The season is quickly coming together! :)

Just double checking, there is an event scheduled at FM on Sunday 04-June, but not on the previous day Sat 03-June. Is that correct?

Yes, there was less desire among the executive to have 2-day events down in Ft. Macleod this year. I thought the practices on Saturdays were worthwhile but not everyone felt the same for some good reasons on their part. However we have more events at the YYC/Budget lot this year (10) so that more than makes up for the dates ... plus another potential venue I'm working on (just got off the phone as a matter of fact ... but may be a while before I hear back from there) ... and more potential "practice" events at YYC during weekday evenings that we are still looking at ...
So actually a lot happening this year .... going to be an epic one I think!

Thanks Reijo, I agree it's a good full schedule this year. I was just checking because the FM events were all 2-days in previous years. Thanks for your effort!
