∙ All competitors are required to work the event. Qualified replacements may be used as substitutes in worker assignments. However, workers must notify the Chief of Course prior to the substitution. Failure to comply or properly perform assigned duties will result in additional work assignments or disqualification, as executed by the organizers.

∙ Course workers must be on their feet at all times while cars are competing.

∙ While on course, all competition vehicles MUST BE identified by a car number and appropriate car class which must be visible from the timing and scoring area. Cars not meeting this requirement will not be scored.

∙ Upon successfully completing scrutineering inspection, the Scrutineer will provide a mark to be fixed to the exterior of the car for the duration of the event in a place visible to the Starter (upper left corner of the windshield is recommended).

This will be the first Regional Autoslalom event held by NBSCC in 11 years (The last one was held at base Gagetown in 2003)
...and we are anticipating it's going to be the largest event we have ever held!

We certainly could not have done this without Sponsors to help keep our expenses and your entry fee down (this place ain't cheap to rent!).
Please go out of your way to support and thank these companies for their contributions in helping us get this off the ground:

Stay tuned for more announcements!

In response to the How do they run with 200 competitors thread (...and we wish we had that problem) here are some measures that NBSCC is taking to move our Regional event along in a timely fashion:

Grid parking:

Per our Sup breaks:
Quote:
∙ Competitors will be arranged into two run groups side by side in the paddock area. Cars in the same class will be grouped together in these two parking areas with multiple driver cars at the head of the rows and interjected into the run group with a minimum spacing of 5 minutes or 5 cars at the discretion of the organizers.


One of the reasons that ARMS promotes travel to other Regions is to see what other ideas they may have come up with to better our events. This idea came from the CMC Loring event which works quite well. I direct your attention to the green and blue markings (BTW the course you see laid out in red over the bus parking spots is PELIMINARY! encompassing the best sections of pavement. If the number of competitors are down from what we expect we will investigate at our discretion doubling back and only running one car at a time):
Attachment:
PROPOSED LAYOUT.jpg [174.25 KiB]

Seeing that we have an expanse of pavement that is broken up and can't be used for anything else, this is the perfect place to put this gridding procedure into practice.

The beauty of these two run groups is that it is really easy to see when your coming up when your not working the course. Some people need time to fasten up 6pt harnesses and push a bunch of buttons on their Gopro's ...while others just put on a helmet/stock seat belt and go. After your run you just return to your same pit spot to be in line for the next run. Multiple driver cars (and Rerun competitors) are pitted in the orange areas where grid marshals direct them into the flow of cars as required. Simple, eh?

Online Registration:

Working on it but can't promise anything yet, stay tuned... See below!


Car Classification:

I think we may have cojuled Scott M. to be at our registration desk to help out...


Pax indexing:

We are going to try and scare up additional whiteboards so that the Pax factor conversion for each competitors run can be written in under raw time. (So that everybody knows who is winning or losing in class 8) )


Worker change:

Fastest person to workstation gets a prize? :roll:


Washroom facilities:

Won't have to go far, we have port-a-potty coming


Lunch:

Bag it. We won't be providing a barbeque due to the required permits, extra washrooms they say we need, hand washing stations, etc... Lobster should probably be banned to save time? (Although a couple of good seafood places downtown for later)


Drivers meeting:

We have a mother of big tent available for use on site. In an enclosure area like this it should be real easy to hear instructions saving time?
Oh, and NO Smoking within 100' of it, or our day will be even shorter as there will be one less competitor running the event!
The Port hasn't erected this tent yet, so we will be working on our tans!

Additional time savers:

Stay tuned!

Whoo Hoo! Thanks to the mad NBSCC Mini driver and Webmaster, Steve-O ...we have an online pre-registration!

http://www.nbscc.org/p/autoslalom.html
No money down, no payments for sixty hours from now, financing not available on approved credit. Some class restrictions apply 8)


That's right folks ...all we want is to know that your coming, not your hard earned money to pay the ridiculously low 8O entry fee until the day of the event! And if you act now we might even throw in a set of plastic cutlery.

But wait! ...There's more! Sign up now and be guaranTeed a Tee while quantities last. :2jump:
That's right with a only a limited run of collector t-shirts available at the low, low cost of $20 per shirt, order now to save yours:

Actually if we are smoking within 100 feet of the Tent I got the feeling that the security guard will turf ALL of us. they are VERY protective of the big tent!.

Maybe we should have called the the Big Tent Event lol

Sounds like a great event in the works, Stacy

I would seriously specify (during the worker change) that no one from the first run group should swap tires for the drive home at that time, and everyone should go straight to their station. Unless you guys decide to announce a formal break for lunch or whatever

Good choice. Probably the best value (get what you pay for) in the city ...and it was just built 4 years ago.

Oh, and in the post above about the online registration, I forgot to mention that the tee-shirts are grey with black logos...

(Plus I wasn't sure that this thread would show up in everybodies "unread list" if I only edited an earlier post, so shameless bump here)

:oops:

That's also very embarrassing because lot of the form is modelled after MMSC's pre-registration form for the Nationals in PEI this August, ha!

We will get that changed ASAP!

Thanks
Stacy

What time will we be able to get onsite?

:oops: Ooops - sorry about that. That's what happens when you build a registration form at 1:30 in the morning. It is all fixed now and I have updated your entry to reflect MMSC.

We are paying the guard at the gate by the hour :? , so to keep costs down we trying to run an organized/tight schedule and thus not open the gates until 9:00am sharp

What we would like to see is everybody lining up outside the gate (between the skate park and the main gate) before hand:

The Registration* and self tech forms will be handed out to those in line to fill out in the comfort of their vehicle. When the gates open at 9:00am sharp everybody upon entering (just like entering Atlantic Motorsport Park) will sign the waiver, pass over their $35 (+$20 for optional Tee) and registration*/self tech form at the desk (not like AMP :roll: ) located at the gate, receive their tee-shirt, and based on the pre-registration class entries competitors will be directed to Run group A or Run group B pit area.

Cars will then be scrutineered in place in the pits receiving a sticker in the upper left window that will look something like this:

We can do this all in an hour and a half, right? :lol:

*Pre-registered competitors do not have to fill out entry forms again :super:

My understanding at the AGM is that if they are in the same class (or group of paxed classes) they have to remain in the same run group.

Perhaps Ming could weigh in here?

Thanks
Stacy

Sorry I couldn't make Regional #1 in Halifax (My parents 50th anniversary got in the way) this past weekend...

Is there anything learned with the new points structure that we should know to help make things better at our upcoming event?

Thanks

What was the problem?
Hard to set the run groups? Hard to display the times/PAXs for the drivers?

I think what Trevor is referring to is how the new points structure/pax factors affect our class. And I agree with him .......but we knew what was coming...we just need to get faster!

Yes this.

Don't really like the new class / point structure.

Yeah, if your car isn't maxed to the limit of your class, you pax seems to not work out for you, in a short course. AMP, Digby and Slemon should be slightly different I think! Also rain is a good equalizer, but not in Trevors case......you need a NEON! :orglaugh:

I think after we run some of the larger lots, like digby and AMP youll see Trevor, ben and colin back up in the points. You guys paxed the same last year but you just didnt notice as much. You also paxed really well at Digby and AMP were the power came into play. I was 1.5 or so seconds behind you guys on the larger courses.

We all need to wait for more events to really get a idea on how the new system will work. 1 event is not going to give us any idea on how it will work all season. Plus it was damp in the morning, cold, and windy. Not really a good day for some peoples setups. Mustang with power, Ben on Hoosiers, and Colin, Well he has a JDM car. Hes just over classed right out of the gate.

I Agree with all of this. i know we have a disadvantage in smaller lots. I Just dont like how cars in the different championships (Street Modified) Have different Pax. if cars are all grouped together they should have the same Pax Factor. Thats just what i think. it might not make sense. l :lol:
