Technical Talk / Some new 2015 rules considerations .... :)
« on: December 21, 2014, 06:27:59 PM »
The the LA Board:

Just a reminder about the changes for 2015, Nationally and locally.

No more combined Street classes (S1, S2, S3), all SCCA National Street classes are offered individually, i.e., SS AS BS CS DS ES FS GS HS which must run on 200+ treadwear tires and SSR, Super Stock cars on R-Tires. No more STC, check the National Rules to see where the ST cars all go now. B Prepared is gone. We will continue to combine all Street Prepared, Modified and Prepared into indexed classes.

There are now 3 Classic American Muscle classes:
CAM-T =Traditional CAM cars 1954-72, 108” wheelbase, 3000lbs minimum
CAM-C= Contemporary CAM cars 1978 and newer, 100” wheelbase, 3000lbs minimum
CAM-S= Sports CAM cars 2 seats, 90” wheelbase, 2600lbs minimum

SASC Schools / Dec. 20/14 visit to Ghost Lake
« on: December 20, 2014, 02:26:24 PM »
Ice thickness is about 13" away from the shore (close to 15" at the shore - about 20' out .... but broken ice at the shore at the bottom of the ramp so lake access is impeded):

Photos are here:

Ice is smoother and snow-free thanks to the recent Chinooks .... so they have done some good as far as we are concerned!  :)

SASC Schools / Winter Driver Training - Student Session
« on: December 16, 2014, 07:43:36 AM »
Do you know of any students who would be interested in Winter Driver Training?

We hope to hold a special Student edition during the Christmas holidays (Sunday, Dec. 28, 2014) and I would like to have some numbers, names etc.

Valid Student I.D. is required for the reduced rate at the morning check-in/registration.

In the event we do not have sufficient ice, we will delay a week or as required.   Note that thus far we have always had enough ice by Jan. 1.  The cold weather, it seems, is inevitable!   :)

Please PM me here to get a reserved spot.  Student rate is 1/2 of the regular - $75 for a day of Winter Driver Training!

Thanks,

Reijo

SASC Schools / Ice thickness and Ghost Lake visit - Dec. 7,14 2014
« on: December 07, 2014, 07:39:45 PM »
I was out at Ghost Lake late this afternoon and measured the ice at a little over 10" thick.  11" of blue (good) ice is sufficient to hold up a 3/4 ton truck (with a safety margin).  However at the bottom of the boat ramp there was an open area where the edge of the ice was broken .... e.g. deep puddle.

Member Introductions / Reijo - Intro

Hi all,

And welcome  to the SASC web forum - thanks to Quentin for getting this up and running for us!!!

My motorsports involvement began through a friend in Lethbridge in about 1980 and except for a hiatus during university years, have been involved in various aspects of the sport of solo/autoslalom/autox/autocross since!   Even after all this time, there just is nothing more enjoyable than controlling a car at the limit, on the perfect line etc.!  It is just fun!

Currently we are building/modifying an S2000 for the BSP or perhaps FP class and intend on campaigning it on the SCCA Tour circuit as well as Western Canadian regions including the up and coming Cdn. Nationals to be held at the Fort Macleod, Alberta airport  during the Aug. 21-23,2015 weekend!

In the meanwhile we will have the Winter Driver Training coming for the season (and seasons to come) .... as an introduction to motorsports for sure but rather more importantly for an opportunity for the motorsport community to share with the general public some of the driving skills we have learned on the track in order to make us all safer on the roads of Alberta and beyond!

BTW, Reijo is my real first name (Finnish) and can be pronounced "Ray-O" .... not entirely correct but close enough.   If you want the genuine Finnish pronunciation, come and see me!  :)
