I think the CSCC schedule might be a bit tough for me personally, anybody else planning to run a season?

Mr_ET 02-11-2009 10:13 AM

I might run a couple events from each if they come to town but I don't think I want to do this much traveling this year .

I will also concentrate on Solo 1/SoloSpring more since it involves driving on a real track vs driving in a parking lot with cones.

Sugarphreak 02-11-2009 10:34 AM

SASC doesn't have a single event here planned; as for the CSCC they are still waiting on confirmation for those Race City dates.

My car doesn't have the abilitiy to do road racing, I need way more juice under the hood & my brakes will probably fade away in a couple of laps.

Sugarphreak 02-12-2009 12:53 PM

Some news

SASC may have a Calgary Venue after all, we may see more dates & events pop up on the calander.

Mr_ET 02-12-2009 01:40 PM

linky? If they do I will probably run them "for fun" not through a membership since I wouldn't attend most other events outside of Calgary

Sugarphreak 02-12-2009 01:54 PM

This is the info I spotted on SASC website today

As soon as any new venue is confirmed, it will be announced here.

I would imagine if they get it you could expect maybe 4 or 5 events here

The membership pays for itself in about 3 or 4 events compared to paying for it as a guest, it not a bad deal.

Sugarphreak 02-13-2009 11:22 AM

Memberships for SASC just went up, is 30$ for a single membership

damn that's cheap, is there a max number of participants? i'd like to wait and see if any Calgary events come up.

Sugarphreak 02-13-2009 12:49 PM

They cap each event, I think 40 max?

Is a good deal, if the Calgary venues come through I am signing up for sure. I am not crazy about driving to Lethbridge every time.

Sugarphreak 02-28-2009 11:06 PM

They are saying they need people to fill certain roles to go ahead with the Calgary events right now.

I think they want to run 5 events here in Calgary, if you guys have any time to volunteer it might go a long way to helping our cause.

I know I am not really planning to drive all the way out to Lethbridge, would be nice if the Calgary stuff comes through.

I am considering capping the entry to our event this year esp. in Calgary for better control of the events. Therefore volunteers with a dedicated position will always have a spot reserved for them. I think that at the very least fair to the helpers. Less people => more runs too. http://sascsolo.ca/forums/style_emot...fault/wink.gif

Last time I volunteered I helped out with the safety tech inspections, I also spent a few minutes afterwards helping clean up the cones. Is pretty simple stuff, but it goes a long way to helping get the events setup and started, plus you get to know some of the more experienced guys while you are at it.

Mr_ET 03-01-2009 12:56 AM

I told them I would volunteer for registrations and timing if needed. I am in for sure.

Can you link us so we can reply in that thread?

Sugarphreak 03-01-2009 01:02 AM

Sure, no problem;

Either thread should be ok to reply in.

Mr_ET 03-04-2009 03:10 PM

2009 Solo Sprint Series - Dates

Sugarphreak 03-06-2009 11:43 PM

I am signing up for both days of the SASC one,

it is pretty steep for price, but they are having some good instructors come to Calgary to teach the course. I really want to get started off right this year.

Mr_ET 03-07-2009 09:31 AM

I am sure the series I want to participate in will rape my wallet good so I can't afford both plus tires, an alignement, a new gauge cluster (like the one in my living room right now) and possibly a front lip and camber kits front and back :P

Sugarphreak 03-07-2009 08:17 PM

Would be better if it was like 250$ for both days, lol

Sugarphreak 03-18-2009 12:36 AM

WHOOO-HOOOO!!!
