SASC Events / Novice School - May 4, 2024 - Fort Macleod

« on: April 12, 2024, 05:07:15 PM »

Free* Novice School on May 4th In Fort Macleod
*Entry to the school is free for those that have signed up for the practice event

Sign up here: https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/sasc-fort-macleod-2024-practice-airport-southern-alberta-solosport-club-424624

Are you new to autocross/performance driving or know someone that is? The SASC will be putting on a free novice school for those that sign up for our practice event on May 4th. The school will run approximately half the day, in the morning, after which all the students will be able to partake in the practice event for the remainder of the day.

The school will consist of ~1hr of basic theory in-class, followed by ~2hrs of in-car drills. The school is geared towards those new to autocross and those that have only done a few events in the past.

Important Information
- Students must have their own car (sedan, hatchback, wagon, coupe, convertible, etc.) in good mechanical working condition. SUV's, CUV's, Minivans and Trucks are not permitted with a few exceptions for Performance Based SUV's (check with us first if you're not sure). Please note that instructors reserve the right to turn away students/cars that don't have sufficient tread depth tires, have leaks, loose batteries, or are in any other way not mechanically fit.
- Two drivers can share one vehicle.
- An approved helmet (http://forums.sascsolo.com/index.php?topic=1711.0), if you don't have one, there will be a few loaner helmets available.
- Please review the information here: https://web.sascsolo.com/autocross-101/

If you have any questions feel free to ask them in this thread.

4.1.1(b) states, "To enter a Canadian Autoslalom Championship event, residents of Canada must hold...." and presents three options.

What's the 3 options? If a CACC license is required I'm thinking there's a few BC people that don't have one.

If you're a member of any WCMA affiliated club you'll be fine, no need for any sort of a license.

If you're from the USA just being a member of any SCCA region will be fine.

Great course yesterday Bob, it flowed well and had a good balance of fast & slow sections. The apron turnaround in the afternoon was very tricky to get right.

David and I were snapping some pictures of the cars, mostly those in the first and third heats.

I think our official definition of rookie (also shown on MSREG) is: "A Rookie is defined as someone who is a 1st year regular participant. Previous year random/occasional participation still allows for Rookie qualification. 3rd year participant no longer qualifies for Rookie, regardless of the number of events. Any 1st year regular participant does not qualify for 2nd year Rookie participation."

If it doesn't affect the overall standings, then it's probably not worth it.

Thanks for getting these up so quick Murray and thanks Scott for the course. Fast and challenging I thought.

Murray could you please switch my number to #12 when you get a chance.

Switching up the color theme for magnets so I no longer need these. To be clear, I'm not retiring the #12  . Make me an offer, for the whole set or what you want.
