You sort of asked and answered your question. There were few cars in TA events. And then TA started to grow, and then fall. reason for it was that smaller budgets felt squeezed out, that there was no drive to improve. They requested a way to feel included. Guess what? now TA is the largest grid at a competition event, and has been for some time. High-level reading of the commentary here suggests that everyone wants to have a classing structure, as long as it isn't OTA. There has to be a balance of the largest money spent wins overall VS. everyone gets a trophy. To the commentary of "fastest time wins", just enter into "RAW TIME" class and move on. Seems counterproductive to argue that all folks need to be in this class if you believe you can win it. Remember, this means reliable, consistent , sub minute times for everyone who enters!

Too slow for me now! 😄 I was at 6.23 before the engine upgrades. But, there's always a spot in my driveway for another 'Vette!

You aren't wrong, and many of our classing systems are based off this ratio. It is a goal of mine to get my RX8 below 6lbs/hp while keeping the creature comforts. Why below 6? I'm trying to match the performance of a C6 Corvette ZR1 @ 5.2lbs/hp! The RX8 has statistically equal wheelbase, height and width and sports a similar drivetrain. The ZR1 is only car that has left a lasting impression on me over the laundry list of vehicles I've piloted around Gimli and other tracks. With skyrocketing re-sale prices, i may never be able to have one of my own, but maybe i can get close! haha

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

Just a reminder for folks looking to be apart of our instructor roster that we would like all instructors to take part in the MSF program. Let us know if you have any questions!

Thanks to everyone who has signed up! Just a reminder that we are still needing instructors and track staff for the weekend! Its going to a great event!

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!
