2009 Autocross: Two Tales
Well Autocross season is here, there are essentially two ways to go;
First the CSCC schedule
Second the SASC schedule
I think the CSCC schedule might be a bit tough for me personally, anybody else planning to run a season?

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.

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.

This is the info I spotted on SASC website today
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.

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

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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
