Other Events / Co-Driver Wanted for Packwood Tour

« on: May 23, 2019, 07:46:00 AM »

My usual co-driver is unable to make it this year due to a wedding, as such, a spot has opened up for the SCCA Packwood Championship Tour in my car. 

The event is July 12-14 and is approximately 12hrs from Calgary. I'd be happy to give a ride down to Packwood to said co-driver, leaving Calgary on Thursday the 11th (alternatively you could fly to Seattle on Friday morning) and then I'd give a ride to the Seattle airport on Sunday evening (14th) to catch a flight back to Calgary.

The car will be my BS 2017 Camaro SS 1LE which is competitive in its class and is properly set up. 

If you've never been to Packwood think of it as YYC on steroids, the actual lot on which the course is set up on is ~3x larger with no light standards and the town of Packwood is in a pretty awesome location.

Shoot me a PM on here or email me and we can work out the details on costs.

Things to Consider
- If you've never designed a course before be aware that it takes time, more time than you think. Between reading some of the relevant material on course design (below), sketching out your original idea, refining it, checking to make sure it's safe and then physically setting up the course can easily take 5 hours.
- If you agree to do a course design you must also be willing & able to help set up the course, this is usually done the day before for YYC events or the morning of for FM & Westerner events.
- Your course design will need to be reviewed & approved by our safety steward (James) and/or one of the club executives (or designate) 2 weeks prior to the event to make sure it's first & foremost safe but also to make sure it follows some of the basic rules (minimum spacing, laydown cones, etc.). A course that's approved on paper can also need final tweaks once actually laid out.
- Only 2019 SASC Members can design courses, yet another perk of being a member, if you don't have yours yet click here: http://forums.sascsolo.com/index.php?topic=1309.0


Course Design Basics
I would strongly recommend that you read the following guide from Roger Johnson, it's a very comprehensive and well put together guide on some of the do's & don'ts of autocross course design:
https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AEIkG1f04t5JU60&cid=F14DBDD81716A051&id=F14DBDD81716A051%21100426&parId=F14DBDD81716A051%2196160&o=OneUp

Also our very own Stephen H has put together the following guide which is very helpful. You can find it at the google drive below along with a folder containing some previous course designs to help put future maps in perspective.
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AlGgFhfYvU3xhe8gQiQbV_Ti3klTrQ


If you're interested in designing a course please post in this thread and let us know which event you'd like to design a course for, we'll get some blank course maps sent to you.
