I have mixed thoughts about the schools being at calgary.

To be clear, I'm not opposed to having schools. Having said that, the provisional calendar has only seven YYC days booked, and of those, three are school days. Using almost half of our available days for schools seems excessive.

I agree with Stephen and everyone else who believes we should have as many events as possible in Calgary while we have the venue.

I understand all that....however....I think you might have overlooked the fact that a number of us club members don’t have “store bought cars with some bolt on parts” but have had extensive work done to our cars and do need an option or something to test them as we can’t just take it down the street and testing it during an event or showing up for an event in an untested car are completely pointless as I have also tried both and left us struggling most of last season to finally have it figured out for the last few events to now completely rebuilt and upgraded it to an entirely different car.
 Perhaps ask the question on the forum to the rest of the members in regards to this as I think you would be surprised by the outcome.
As to be honest I am disappointed to hear you haven’t bothered to really consider a practice event for those of us that have complete built cars.

It is your choice to run a car as heavily modified as yours is. Everyone knows once you leave the Street & ST classes you are going to spend just as much time wrenching as you do driving. ;D
The club hosts monthly meetings for a reason. If you have an opinion about things you should show up to a meeting or two, instead of complaining on the forum.

Im assuming you don’t intend on starting a pissing match.

I have been to a couple meetings but am not able to attend as many as I would like.

An OPEN FORUM is there for members to voice opinions, ideas or concerns, if my comment upsets you than don’t read it or don’t have an open forum.

🤨🤨🤨

Coming on the forum and saying you assume you don't wanna start a pissing match  or telling someone to scroll on because it's an open forum isn't really the right way to get your point across.
Yes it's an open forum and yes people have opinions but be cautious of how you portray yourself

I would say we all wish we could attend all the meetings but we can't. But to come on here and complain about not having enough practices just because you have a "built car"  is pretty petty...
It's not about "if you don't like it scroll on"
You sound very much like just because you decided to build a car you should have the events your way, guess what chief,  don't work like that. The club works hard to ensure they put on a season where the most number of people can benifet from the schedule and the club can break even or profit from the events held (practice or competitions)

Another option if possibile is rent the lot out yourself if you feel the club isn't giving you enough time to prep your car. It's a small price to pay if you have a non store bought car with some bolt ons or even a fully stock car (which funny enough a lot of those cars still beat you so not sure why you call them out like you did ).

I've been to many of the evening practices and I would say the turn out most time is just barely enough to break even. So again the club can't just accommodate you because you wanna do something to your car.

The schedule looks great and we thank the club for getting the dates and working hard to acquire new lots and keep the lots we have already.
We will see you all in our store bought turd again this summer!!
