Yesterday (Sept. 17th) marked the 12th championship event in the 2017 SASC/CSCC Joint Championship series, however this event was different. With 107 drivers it was the largest turnout we've ever had at the YYC venue which is an accomplishment in itself, but what makes the day even more impressive is that we managed 10 runs per competitor, meaning we had 1034 runs + re-runs (overall nearing 1100 runs). We started shortly before 10:00am and were able to have all runs complete by 4:45pm. This was no easy task and was only possible because of everyone's hard work; from drivers arriving and checking in on time, quick changeovers, tireless efforts of the folks running timing and course workers making quick work of picking up downed cones. For reference, the SCCA Solo Nationals run ~900 runs per day (300 competitors x 3 runs).

It was also nice to see a lot of new faces, it's always great to have new people get involved with the sport.
