I'm up for a convoy as long as we keep it at reasonable speeds. My car's highway fuel economy stinks with the high gearing.

8:30 in Truro at the Irving, is that the plan?

Anyone know of other STX class cars that will be there other than me? I need 3 total for the scion contingency program to apply. I see there was a focus ST at a previous MMSC event...

If you want a co-driver, I will volunteer! I'm not bringing the Mustang, might bring the TL and give it a try.

Shawn should be there in the Focus. I believe Ray is planning on competing in STX this year. I can run the Celica in STX. I'm sure the Moncton drivers will give you a run for your money :wink:

For that contingency program, I don't think co-drivers on his car are allowed
That said, we also don't maintain detailed enough records for Scion to know the difference

If you delete your post, I'll delete mine :orglaugh:

That would be a shame. maybe the co-driver not allowed to be the winner? IE put a "ringer" in the seat? I could see that, but even then, Scion wants to win, so that shouldn't even matter. But Devon's girlfriend has started slaloming, does this mean she'll have to drive someone elses car? I don't think so. Don't worry about it anyway if Charles Kelly shows up. 8O :wink:

Thanks for the offer Alan but I shot off an email when i first saw this and no co-drivers are permitted. I'd certainly be game for a critique on my runs though. I know I'm new to this and I still have a lot to learn.

Just to clear things up, I did not intend to sound like this was some sort of guaranteed win for me. I just need 3 STX cars for it to be possible. If there were exactly 3 it would be nice as I would be guaranteed to get some funds to cover my gas etc :p. The more the merrier though! If i get beat by a minute then I get to see HOW a similarly classed car can get such a good time :)

It sounds like we're good to go however, so thanks to all who chimed in.

If you like I can make a photo appear to be whatever they like it to be...just saying ! :wink:

What do you mean you weren't there...I have a picture that says you were and the newly
" refined" results shows a scion as the winner.

Never be afraid to be beaten in a slalom event by some one coming down to our events from
New Brunswick...."Hell, I use to drive 5 hours both ways to be beaten by them on their turf" !! 8O

NOTE; None of what I say or do is condoned or accepted as normal by the Atlantic Region Motor Sports governing body !!! :o 8O :?
