and registration is here.


We are making a few improvements to the event, the first being that we will no longer be doing registration and payment onsite. From now on, this must all be done online via Karelo, just like UBC club events. This will eliminate the clumsy morning registration.

This event is capped at 50 drivers. Pre-registration via Karelo is mandatory. There will be absolutely no refunds. We will only issue a credit for future autocross events if you cancel within 24 hours or more in advance. If you "no show" for the event, we will not refund NOR credit you. If you are not sure you can attend, please do not pre-register. Pre-registration on Karelo is the only way to sign up for this event. Those showing up with cash on the morning of the event will be turned away.

 

Cost is $40 per driver, and includes all fees and taxes. ( HST number: 81333 1451 RT0001)
 
PLEASE MAKE A NOTE IF YOU ARE SHARING / CODRIVING A CAR.

Please note: You do not need to be a Porsche Club member or own a Porsche to participate. We welcome everyone to join us! Friends and family are welcome to come and spectate as well: there is no need to sign-up if you just want to watch, however EVERYONE that is on-site MUST read and sign the liability waivers.

There is absolutely ZERO TOLERANCE for any burnouts, reckless driving, or loud stereos on Ford Road at any time. Anyone caught breaking this rule will be immediately, and permanently, banned from all 3 local autocross clubs without warning.

Please obey the stop signs abeam the runway, and wait for any aircraft that are taking off or landing before resuming.

Gates will be open by 8:00am. Please don't arrive too early as a line will form on Ford Road, however you must be onsite and checked-in by 9am, or you will not run. The last run will be finished by 4:30pm. If you drive, you must work. If you cannot work, or need to leave early early, it must be prearranged with us, or else you will not be welcome back.

Free instruction and a limited amount of loaner helmets are available for novice drivers! Drivers of all skill levels are encouraged to come out!

You are welcome to bring your own helmet as long as it is a 2000 or newer model M or SA helmet.

Please make sure your vehicle is free of all loose objects, including your trunk compartment, and that your battery is firmly bolted down in place. Any vehicles found to be mechanically unsafe will not be allowed to run, and no refund will be given.

As I'm still sans one engine, I will have to wait this one out.

I buggered up my foot and I don't know if I'll be able to drive by then. : If I can't drive then I'll probably still come by to say "hey". :

 
Allan, what the heck did you do to your foot?

That wouldn't have stopped Fred and Barney.

Mishap unhooking the equalizer bars on the weight distributing hitch of my trailer.  In an instant, a couple hundred pounds of force was sent through a steel pipe into my right foot, pinning it to the ground.  I lifted up the pipe and slid my foot out and then in a couple of seconds, the top of my shoe started to turn red.  Now my foot is a variety of colours and I can't walk that well.  I kinda hobble around.  Not too much fun.

Thanks guys.  I'm heading back to the doctor to check up on a potential circulation problem.  Sometimes it seems that more blood is spilling into my foot rather than go where it needs to.  Good thing biology is interesting to me or else I'd be more concerned.  Oh well, I have a spare foot.  lol!

Yeah, but you need two feet at the track! Or I suppose you could drive an automatic, but that would suck!

I have an IR air-powered impact gun.  You bring the beefy compressor.

Brian, I'm glad you're going to be there, but...

July 2nd is still 11 days away. Does that mean the Fiero is definately a "no-go"?

Since I will have those R-Comps, it will be the Mazda3 and will be fun to really push the car and not have the tires squeel like Tris, and I may...quote may retire the Fiero to a pleasure classic car, I cannot afford these bills, someone could have made good coin from me from the club but no one jumped at the offer...this will be over $1500 that I was not planning for, and still may not work...

Allan, bring the wifes Merc, only need one foot...and I don't have a compressor...lol, my canopy died in Hope at the RallyX, wind killed it...lol
