He still would be except he now lives up in NWT. It's a bit of a hike for a weekend! haha If you took the school in 2023, you do not need to attend the classroom although it is always encouraged. -
It is a thorough list and worth noting the fastest fields are populated with a variety of cars. Makes it more interesting! Thanks for posting this. My entry is listed as an RX8, but any times for 2023 events were set in an '07 Toyota Camry in "GT" class. My RX8 hasn't made an appearance since 2021!

I see all the laps on a single session when I click on an attendees name in the session roster. Is this what you are looking for? Clicking on Guy Dobson... Gives me this: Mr Weebly:

For that vehicle, there is a seat air bag bypass module to can install with your preferred seat choice that will allow you to keep all your safety functions operational. I suggest using a reputable manufacturer (Sparco, OMP, Corbeau etc) for the seat base that will permit the use of the OEM buckle location. Use a seat that is side mounted if you ever plan on doing anything other than track days. Buy once, cry once!

Thanks for this Gary. It's put together well. I realize after watching it that I should have been better prepared but my mind was elsewhere! -
I would not say procrastination per-say. Dragging my feet...yes!

Had someone ask about the school staff update meeting. We will have the staff update meeting date finalized and will be emailed out to the registered volunteers on MSR. I suspect given the current list, we will postpone the meeting one week to WEDNESDAY APRIL 26th 2023 @ 7:00pm. I will get the zoom meeting invite sent out hopefully before end of next week. If anyone has any questions, please contact one of the school organizers! The school organizational team: Boettcher, Chris Hufgard, Roland Sharples, Jordan Wach, Darin

Hi fellow instructors! As noted in the volunteer page, all instructors are required to complete this 2h training course by Motorsport Safety Foundation for 2023. Its a ONE-TIME course to complete and is a great refresher as to how we should be mentally preparing for the school. Please take the time to complete this course in a timely manner and prior to the instructor briefing in April. ONE-TIME $50usd fee that is reimbursed by the WSCC once your completion certificate is available. New instructors are entitled to an instructor shirt. Additional shirts are available for purchase. Let us know if you have any additional questions!

Remember, we need 21 instructors at a minimum!! We are on the look-out for new instructors to fill our roster! Current instructors: If you haven't already done so, please register on the volunteer registration page on MSR! If you have taken the Motorsport Safety Foundation Level 1 program, great!

This! Only reinvent the rubber on the wheel instead of the wheel itself. Probably the best compromise.

I tell ya, I lost like a minute of sleep over that!

The first sentence is a good take-away. If this is truly how you have felt, then we at WSCC need to do better. As far as the last point, its unfortunate that you missed a past championship between @donrolandofuriosoand @Rare Snake. They had a nail biter points race to the end of the season.

What is the ask? Are we looking to adhere to the general ideals of what we wanted our TA to be; to remain open and inclusive to all and generate a competitive environment amongst all Entrants? To create a inviting option to classed racing; a stepping stone; with the current investment placed on/in your vehicle of choice. Or, are we interested in creating or implementing a rule set that you'd have to adhere to, ultimately creating silos, for the the purposes of following western/southern direction? I think we have this in our race classes. Remember if you are set up for SCCA, you have a home somewhere in OTA that WSCC has been using. As someone who has been the face of our schools for many years, trying to grow the entrant list, I have noticed another aspect you may not see! When the disciplines are discussed at our schools, the students are far more interested in running what they already have and being included in equally with everyone else, than focus building a hot rod to a rule set, that ultimately makes people go cross-eyed and become disinterested. Once they find out that what they have is not going to be competitive, or the ability to be, you've lost them, and likely permanently. Some of the above also applies to our current TA roster. Some are excited to change to something familiar, or following structure from where they'd like to compete. Others will be lost in the endless money game, changing setups to an ever-evolving, never satisfying rule set. (AKA...road racing).
