Well 4 events, always dual drivers, plus 5000 km of daily driving too as I couldn't get my other wheels for a few weeks and I drive a lot and my driving is pretty much foot near floor most places and dont slow for corners if dont need too lol
4 events x 2 drivers x 7(?) runs per event = 56 runs total. That's a short life for a tire. I try to get 100-125 runs plus about 4000-5000km of street driving per set on my focus. I manage tire wear by flipping the tires so I can eat up the other shoulder and rotating them to the back once both shoulders are gone. That gives me 2 ways to use each tire on the front, so 4 shoulders to chew up. If I can keep my greedy corner entry under control that has previously yielded me as many as 150 runs on a set of tires but last year I delayed flipping the tires and shredded the outside shoulder down to the creamy nougat filling in only 40 runs on a pair of brand new R-S3s.

He was running in Montana at Great Falls this past weekend - 2 day event. Could be on the road today back to Calgary ... long weekend down south - Memorial Day.
It was a 3 day event -- we just got back from the bar. We will be heading home tomorrow.
Send e the result data, and I will updte things sometime tomorrow.
I'm just waiting a couple days for any changes to come in before I finalize them and I'll send them over at that time if this works for you? Rather than sending them to you over and over.

I don't think you cut them on anything - my R-S3s and Rivals both started ripping off the same way when they reached the end of their life. I think that's usually caused when you massively overcook a corner and go skidding sideways on them (as I often do) trying to drag the car back to the line you want.

He would probably be more forthcoming if I sent him the score files....  I'll try to get those off to him tonight. I knew I was forgetting something last night. A long day in the sun left me tired and without... brain... skills....

Direct link here: https://peta-file.com/scores/2017/2017_05_28__scores.txt
I always hide that url behind a URL tag to see if anybody notices the domain name  Also, I should mention in case the owners of these cars are members on this forum: The white camaro and the black camaro would almost certainly be over the noise limit at YYC. If you are thinking of bringing your cars to events there please be prepared with a solution to reduce the noise level of your exhaust.

Thanks for the clarification, I just thought you used Karelo for registration of events sorry my mistake.
I finally got around to it - you can register for our first Westerner Park event here! As I haven't put together one of these event pages in many months please let me know if you spot something that is messed up.

For the Westerner Park events we handle registrations through motorsportreg just like the SASC but you'll have to search for CSCC instead  I've had a few things come up in my life recently that have been tying up my evenings and weekends but I'm hoping to get the event pages put together for the entire season near the end of this week. I'm not completely sure I understand the second half of your question but basically fill out the registration form on MSR and bring proof of membership (card or letter) to the event so the person running registration can verify your membership status.

How about that? The theory (calculations) properly predicted the results ... e.g. it is very rushed in the pits.
Before this weekend I had not thought about the resultant rush in grid if we do not have enough cars and if we send out cars close together. Learn something new every day, huh?!
As a side note and for future reference, we had previously determined the cut-off for two or three run groups on whether we had enough people to man all the stations. Apparently at YYC, the criteria should be time between runs! At FM, of course, the game is different with less entries and more time between runs due to the overlap that we have to live with. However there is a bit of a time saver in that we have a few less change-overs during the day ... e.g. 2 heats vs. 3 heats.....4 vs. 6
So it seems that we have been running heats that are too small! Who'da thunk?
Therefore it looks like it is best to keep 2 heats unless we are over 100 drivers or so.
I do like the idea of 3 heats since we do not take a lunch break then but I think that is a worthwhile sacrifice. It would be more do-able if we had a lunch truck on-site ... I know we were looking into that but it was too much money but there may have been others we did not look at or were about to ...

Since it came up I just want to repeat concern about bringing a food truck on site - throughput. In my experience food trucks feed about 1 person per minute at a cost of ~$10 per person. With 40 people in a run group and an assumption that it takes 15 minutes to eat lunch after you receive your food that means you need 55 minutes to get all of the competitors fed plus any extra time caused by spectators lining up at the food truck. In my opinion this time could only be shortened by bringing out more food trucks or reducing the number of people patronizing the food truck, both of which would likely bring the revenue per truck below the minimum amount they required to come out for the day.

So here is some fairly readable data from one of my runs on Sunday:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByeFbiNdvLbGaGpUbDNtcHJVVm8
I was amazed that I was hitting a bit more than 1G on the sweepers -- those tires sure handle the cold.
Which tires were you on? Also, interesting to see the slalom migrate, the first right hander was 0.8g, then 0.72g then 0.7g, while the lefts went higher. Is that the tires rolling under the rim and the car starting to hop I see at 17-20s? Looks like there really wasn't a lot of room to brake in a straight line, but it's neat to see how consistent you are getting hard on the brakes then easing off as you dial in the steering.

As for how complete the info is, the device is basically a raw bridge onto the CAN bus and since part of the challenge is building your own cable (or just buying one) you can pick which CAN bus you want to place it on. The device is supposed to be very flexible when it comes to data rates and CAN bus parameters. Javier said that it would grab everything on the bus and it supports both USB and ethernet capture so I'll venture a guess it's capable. Unfortunately the internet is very... light... on documentation so I've been a bit shy of doing anything with it. I think I have the right cable to plug it into my van - I should try that at some point and see what I can get. I wanted to plug it into somebody else's van with EVIC and use the EVIC to disable the horn honk on remote lock so I could capture the message for that and replay it on my non-EVIC van The lengths I go to for such stupid things....

You mention patterns that indicate tire break-away, I bet that to an accelerometer (and probably even to a gyroscope) tire break-away looks a heck of a lot like the driver backing off in certain drive configurations (mainly FWD or understeerey AWD) - perhaps a steering angle sensor would be useful as well? When I toyed with this idea I wanted access to individual wheel speed sensors as well, and trying to poll these at the necessary frequency necessitates dedicated monitoring hardware - even on cars where you can read this on the CAN bus I don't feel like you can get updates fast enough.
I also dislike the use of GPS to infer acceleration, even the best commercially available GPS is vastly inadequate for measuring the detail required on an autocross course.
On the up side, there's well over 20 events this year in the Calgary area for data collection!

You're showing a different seller. Amazon still has it for $664 with free shipping - that's SOOOOoooo much better

Should we update the schedule then? It shows the June weekend as being a challenge event with the WCMA regional in August right now.

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!
