29 May 2018 - May 27 SASC & Sunridge Mazda Women's Event

Written by 94boosted posted in General Articles May 29, 2018, 07:40:00 AM 342 Views Rating: 0 (0 Rates)

This past Sunday the SASC hosted our first ever women's event, the goal of the event was to bring out more new women to the sport of autocross. I'm pleased to say the day was a success with a total of 72 drivers overall and 15 of them being new-to-autocross women, fun was had by all. The weather for the day couldn't have been nicer and the lunch was tasty.

A big thank you to Sunridge Mazda for sponsoring this event and also to Julie, Tara, Sera, Jess and Yvonne for organizing this event.

Congratulations to the ladies that participated and we hope to see you out again at future events.

18 Sep 2017 - YYC - Sept. 17th, 2017

Written by 94boosted posted in General Articles September 18, 2017, 01:51:00 PM 2662 Views Rating: 0 (0 Rates)

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.

16 Aug 2017 - It's a Wrap - The Fat Kat Challenge

Written by E6Cueman posted in General Articles August 16, 2017, 08:28:00 PM 2755 Views Rating: 0 (0 Rates)

Introduced last year, the Fat Kat Challenge, an elimination challenge that rewards consistent auto-xing, has provided some additional excitement to the clubs regular season of solo events. This year, forty-eight participants entered the challenge in hopes of advancing to the final, and bringing home a cash prize courtesy of Overtime Rentals.

The weekend started with 12 all-out qualifying runs by each competitor. From those qualifying runs, three groups and challenge brackets were formed.

Two time Canadian national champion, Cam Withell, qualified in the top spot for heat 1, with the weekends top PAX time in his A-Street Corvette Z06. That achievement allowed him a bye through to the second round, where he was eliminated in dramatic fashion by Duane Jacka in his BMW Z4. Duane put on a great show, but later fell to rookie driver Greg Piasta, who was quickly familiarizing himself with the sport of auto-x. Young Greg, driving a loaner Ford Focus, beat all four drivers he faced, and was the first to advance into the final.

Veteran Ryan Clark qualified atop the second heat in a German B-Street car that was sometimes a Porsche, and at other times a BMW. He drove flawlessly to eliminate all challengers. All of Ryan's runs were within 15 hundredths of a second of each other! In the final battle of the group, James Callaghan and his Subaru WRX provided Ryan with his biggest challenge, but were unable to come out on top.

Driving whatever German B-Street car that Ryan Clark wasn't, Quentin Osborne finished 3rd in PAX during qualifying runs, to lead the final heat. Like Ryan, Quentin held his spot and advanced through the group into the final.

In that final, the efforts of the two veteran drivers fell apart. Ryan picked up a cone, and Quentin had a moment on course that cost him nearly a second. That gave the victory, and majority of the purse to new comer Greg Piasta! Greg took home $600 courtesy of Overtime Rentals who so graciously sponsored the event.

Congratulations Greg! We hope that you'll be back next year to defend your win. Special thanks goes to Overtime Rentals for their support, as well as club members and executive who volunteered their time to put things in place to make this a great weekend for all.
