2016 Solo Season Update

[zero10]

I see the schedule on the forum main page makes no reference to there being a joint championship for this year.  Is that off the table?

[Terry Johns]

Do we have any dates yet

[Reijo]

Look on the front or Home page.   

[Terry Johns]

Thanks for all the hard work you have done to make this happen

I think it's just an oversight on my part.

Joint series with CSCC again this year ... no change there.

Is there anyway we can reserve numbers for the season? I'm thinking it'd be nice to get some magnetic numbers for this year!

Give me a few days and I will write a program to go through last year's data and print out a list of numbers+drivers.

  Thanks Murray.

There was some confusion last year - CSCC had a forum thread to sign up for a dedicated number, and that was supposed to be coordinated with both clubs.  But then in the end there was conflict, so making magnetic numbers was, at least in my case, pointless.  One applied to the Red Deer events, and I had a different number for Ft. Macleod each time it seemed.

Not sure if we could get this cleaned up for this year if we're going to continue joint championships?  http://cscc.speedracer.ca/forums/autoslalom-news/2015-autoslalom-car-numbers/msg69586/#msg69586

There is always conflict.  Peope who don't read either forum, people from other clubs and other provinces, people who come back after an absence of many years, people with a new car that has numbers painted on the side, and so on.

It's not a big deal at almost any event.  My software makes it easy to select a number and painters tape is always an easy fix for the day when a conflict occurs.  Go ahead and use that CSCC forum list if you want to pick a reasonably unused number.

Having numbers that can be rearranged helps too. My mistake with magnetic numbers was getting two of the same number and a zero.

[MurrayPeterson]

Here is a list of numbers actually used last year (CSCC and SASC clubs).  I only show numbers and names if the person had attended 2 or more events in 2015.

Thanks for putting that list together Murray!

What is the SASC procedure for reserving numbers? 
Typically we would have a number reservation thread on our forum as well but I can see how that would lead to different people trying to pick the same number on different forums.  Perhaps I'll make a thread suggesting that people either confirm the number listed in Murray's post for them (thereby avoiding any possibility of a collision) or submit a request for a number also citing second and third choices, then we could set a cutoff date and combine lists after that, resolving conflicts at that time?

There's some issues with the data dump Murray - for example, Carter in the Cougar also ran as #50, so I took a different number at the Ft.Macleod events.  But he doesn't show up in your data dump.  Maybe that's a singular situation?
