Thanks Murray .... I missed that ... and removed the couple of msgs related to that.  (I was wondering what the heck you were referring to!     )

The MSR registration page is being weird for me... It lists my focus as #11 in the top drop-down but then assigns me the number 111 and when I try to open the dropdown to fix it I just get a blank white box.

[MurrayPeterson]

Looks like your number wasn't reserved in MSR, and someone else got to it before you did.

I guess you will have to add another piece of tape on each side

Current weather network forecast shows 70% change of ~5mm rain.
A guy can only Hope, right Murray/Cam?

My tape budget just went up by 50%!! Unacceptable!

(kidding)

But seriously, it's no problem at all.  I was just confused because the top drop-down had my number as if it were reserved but then it assigned me 111 and was just drawing a big white rectangle instead of letting me pick a new number so I couldn't see what had happened.  I figured MSR was just being broken or something.

I heard through the grapeline that somewhere on FB it was mentioned that only the morning runs count for the WCMA Championship.

That is NOT correct.

We will be running one course in the morning and then another course in the afternoon (morning course in the reverse direction plus some minorish changes).

Therefore each day is counted as two separate events and your time will be determined from the best morning run added to the best afternoon run.  This is the case on Saturday and then again on Sunday.  In effect you will be running 4 events this weekend!  How fun, eh?   

Putting it another way, 2 courses in one day and your best run from each determines your placing.

Clear?

BTW, that is exactly how the Cdn. Nats in Pitt Meadows will be run the following weekend.

Guess why we are doing this?

[MurrayPeterson]

With the head count looking to be under 100, I think/hope we can get in 8 runs each per day.

[Reijo]

And some are single day entrants only.

Father's Day was mentioned in a few emails I saw ... another unfortunate timing issue in this year's event schedule ... and the Pitt Meadows schedule I guess.

Also I wonder if some people are staying away because it is a more competitive regional event?  Really, everyone should feel more than welcome to participate whether they are newcomers or not.

In fact that is one of the beauties of autox, that you can participate in a nationanl-level event without experience.  What sport can you do that in?  I would say not many. 

So, in my opinion, newcomers should absolutely take advantage of that fact and jump right in there because they can!   Who cares about the results.  Use it as an event to learn from and that is certainly a major value of going to a "bigger", more competitive event - re:  That you can learn some things about this sport that you cannot necessarily learn just running local events.

So jump in there folks!  No special experience or skill is required! It will be a great experience.

Hey everyone,

We have 6 drivers coming in from Winnipeg, I can assure you we don't bite, we are not super serious competitors just a bunch of Winnipeg guys who enjoy autocross and having fun with cars. Hope to meet and learn from the SASC/CSCC.

Favour to ask, one of our drivers just got his S2000 aligned and ride height adjusted this week but suspects the shop incorrectly lowered the front coilovers and might run into clearance issues on course. If anyone could bring universal coilover spanners it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
