Here's a (hopefully) complete list of events for 2014. These all take place at the http://www.bcdrivingcentre.com/ - BC Driving Centre .
Sources: http://www.ubcscc.com/club-events/ - UBCSCC , http://www.vcmc.ca/?page_id=208 - VCMC , http://www.pca-cwr.org/forums/official-pca-events-and-issues/autox-dates-for-2014/#p26943 - PCA-CWR , http://www.bccorvetteclub.ca/index_files/events.htm - BCCC Typically, we go to the PCA (Porsche club) and BCCC (Corvette club) events (the dates are in bold), but last year most of the Corvette club's events were Corvette-only. I don't know if this year is any different. ------------- 88 Formula 5 speed |

Colby, thanks for posting the dates. I've emailed Vic Nightscales to see if he can tell us which BCCC events are open to everyone. I'll post back here when I find out. I also asked Rich in the PCA-CWR forum if the PCA autocrosses were all double-pad events. However, right after I posted that question I saw the following at the UBCSCC site...
So, I guess we'll probably have to wait awhile before we know for sure about that. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to autocross this year... even more so than usual. I loved the Mighty Duke, but it'll be so nice to be able to accelerate out of the corners now due to my Fiero upgrade.

Due to a new booking structure announced by the pad’s management in March 2012, we are unable to announce the actual pad size until our event is open for sign-up.

Good news! I heard back from Rich and it turns out that all PCA-CWR events will be double-pad... so mark those dates on your calendars for sure! I should add that single-pad events are just as much fun (and usually a bit cheaper as well). I don't want the "newbs" to think that it's got to be double or nothing.

I've received some good news from Vic at BCCC. The first event of the season is going to be a two day all GM affair.
I'll post this info again in a dedicated thread closer to the actual date, but I wanted to post it here early as this upcoming event is rather special. Unless we put some Fiero stickers on Gary's 914/6, I'm afraid he's out of luck (which is unfortunate), but this is a perfect event for Glenn and anyone else in the club trying autocross for the first time. |
We have been invited along with the local Camaro club to join our Corvette cousins for this event.

Just wanted to mention that the date for the Driving Skills Classroom instruction (for the BCCC event mentioned above) has been changed from Friday, May 9th to Thursday, May 8th. (I edited the original post to reflect this.) The change was made as the classroom wasn't available Friday night, but I think Thursday night will actually work out better for some of us. I usually swap over to my track tires/wheels the night before an autocross event, so I'm happy about the date change. Vic said to me in his last email that he's hoping there'll be several Fieros registered for this event. So let's not disappoint him. It'll be fun to scare the 'Vettes with our little plastic cars from the 80's. Vic has also made it clear that space is limited. If you wait until the last week to register, chances are you will not be able to attend. I've already registered. If you wish to participate in this two-part event (good value at $50), please contact Vic at the email address below sooner rather than later. You have been warned. mailto:vnightscales@netscape.net - vnightscales@netscape.net |

The only club members I'm aware of who for sure are participating this weekend are Harrison and myself. This will be the first time I've had my '88 Formula on the track. I'm looking forward to the increased power over the Mighty Duke, but the suspension hasn't been tweaked yet... so I'm expecting some pretty wild spins! |

Just fixed a typo on my list. The PCA autocross is on the 31st, not 21st.

It appears that this year is different. I think the Corvette Club enjoys having Fieros come to their events. Heck, our cars are related. BCCC is also hoping to have double-pad events this year if enough people register ahead of time to make it financially feasible. So all in all, the BCCC events promise to be a lot of fun... just as the PCA events are.
