Holy crap! 10th place for me! SWEET! I forgot to check all day and was guessing I was in the range of 15-19th place. Thanks everybody for such a great event! I'm going to go nurse my sunburn and have a beer now.

Wow - I have had a couple people complain about the exhaust on my focus but I was only in the mid 70s. Good to know, thanks for posting this!

Is it staying local? I'm just asking to find out if I should start preparing to place 1-2 spots lower

I'm really sorry to hear about all this. I know for many, cars are prized possessions and this has to be really hard on you guys. We've had a severe thunderstorm warning nearly every day this month and it gets very easy to ignore them when they seem to always be overblown. I hope everybody has a pain-free experience with insurance and that everything turns out to be better than before.

I was just far enough behind you to miss it - there ended up being around 4-6 inches of hail sitting on the highway north of Airdrie and at times the rain between Olds and Airdrie was so heavy we were down to about 20m visibility and cars were just crawling along. Easily one of the worst storms I've ever driven through. Add to that the repeated lightning strikes at the edge of the highway and it was perhaps the first time in my driving career I've ever felt that I should get off the road due to weather. Scary storm and I'm sorry to hear your car got damaged.
Generally hail claims are considered a not-at-fault kind of claim and do not affect your rates. However this does vary a little from insurer to insurer. If you have a broker talk to them ASAP, they are going to get slammed with calls.
As for non-replaceable panels, they get repaired, when possible they will do PDR and when not conventional processes. If it's a structural member that can be more complicated but generally this isn't the case.
Best of luck and I hope everything turns out well!

Aww - literally the only weekend in the past 5 years I can't make and that's looking like it will be the first event. Best of luck with everything and I hope it goes well! If you can secure any other weekends I'll be sure to come out!

Wow - this is the first I've heard of this place. Are there any details you guys can share with me?

This is probably a stupid question but what is in place to stop somebody from deliberately sandbagging their first run then making incremental improvements through the day?...
Some interesting results in the ladder - in Run Group 3, round 4 both Matthew K and Sean D got SLOWER in their runs, but Sean got less slower.... actually, Matthew K looks to have run his fastest time of the day in the 1st round, and still he made it to the 4th! Similar situation with Cam!

I'm probably out of touch on this but I thought one condition of the rental in Fort Macleod is that they were only allowed to rent the facility for a single weekend each month?

Bracket system is simply...
Competitor 'A' runs 10.00 secs
Competitor 'B' runs 9.00 secs
Therefore.. Competitor 'A' is indexed 0.90, to equal Competitor 'B' indexed 1.00
Now Competitor 'A' runs 10.10 secs x 0.90 index = 9.09
And Competitor 'B runs 9.10 secs x 1.00 index = 9.10
So Competitor 'A' wins
All participants make 4 runs in the afternoon. 3 runs will be 'fun' runs if they lose round one, but they still run. Round 2 losers still get 2 more runs, etc. So 5 mins between runs is no issue.
Very clever! Thanks for the explanation!

As somebody who doesn't ever watch or participate in sports I have only a rudimentary understanding of the bracket system and therefore I have no idea how this is actually working. Can somebody explain this part? Event format will consist of 3 run groups, 16 participants / run group, allowed 2 or 3 qualifying runs each for PAX elimination ladder placement 1 - 48.
This sets the 48 car elimination ladder order for 3 new run groups, based on the Pax qualifying order, to make 4 runs each, working through the ladder (16 - 8 - 4 - 2) to 1 finalist for the prize monies run off.
Competitors will be running off of their individual qualifying index at this point, PAX is only to set the 48 car ladder order. Any breakouts to qualifying index will be assigned this breakout time as their new index going forward. Equal opportunity for all levels of participants is the goal.
I understand PAX is used to rank everybody from 1-48, and from there on I am lost. Also, how are you managing the 5 minutes between runs that is typically enforced once you are down to 4 or 2 people?

I'm glad to see so much talk about tires right now. My RS3s on the front of my focus are almost completely worn out. At the last event I had to fill them to 50psi to avoid cording the shoulders which led to some ...interesting... performance characteristics. I'm in the market for tires before the next event so this is all very useful
