-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). Cars must show the Scrutineer’s official mark or they will not be allowed to enter the course.

difficulty shall have 10 minutes after the car is scheduled to start, to present the car at the start line. Grid personnel will verify the mechanical
difficulty, and will refer the request for a mechanical delay to the Chief Steward in cases where the competitor may gain an unfair advantage by delaying a run, for example changing weather conditions.
-Directional pylons (pylons which are laid on their side) are for informational purposes and do not count if hit. Directional pylons placed directly adjacent to a penalty pylon must be obeyed or a DNF will result. Directional pylons not adjacent to a penalty pylon are for informational

areas. Waiver forms will be available at registration.
-Refueling of cars on site may be permitted only when accompanied by

Thanks. I found it by watching a YouTube video of last years slalom and noting the background buildings. Then I wandered the neighbourhood in Google streetview to look for a lot which had a view of the red roofed buildings and stumbled upon the Convergys sign. "The former Convergys location" means nothing to us out of towners. :lol:

Never ask for directions in New Glasgow then. "The old Canadian Tire building" hasn't had a CT since before I moved here 18 years ago...

We would appreciate it if all could arrive in plenty of time to register for this event. I will be taking. membership renewals and it will help start on time if we all leave plenty of time to register.

And let's hope the sun prevails.

Thanks

I think you'd be classed as a USDM Pulsar with an engine swap, which would be DMOD maybe?
Just a guess

So how would a north american pulsar be classed if you swapped in a bigger turboed engine and an awd drivetrain?

Great weekend of slalom. weather was a little cool in the mornings but it warmed up nicely in the afternoon. Enough to keep the tires warm anyways. Thanks Brian for giving me a time to shoot for. One more run and i might have got you :lol: . It's been a long winter and i forgot how much fun this all is. Cant wait till the next one.

Thanks again to Alan gray, made my day much better. Was a great day till run 3. Felt like a low 34.........before the car decided it didnt want to go that fast anymore... didnt want to go at all is more like it. Thanks to everyone who pushed, and helped. Made life much nicer. Ill take the 3RD today considering how it worked out, would have loved to make a few more runs to try and catch Brian P, and keep Trevor in 3RD. Both did a great job today.

Thank you to all the organizers for a fun event!
I really missed all the fun being away so long! At the same time, it felt so familiar... like I was never away. OK, except the times weren't what they used to be. :oops: We'll work on that next time. ;)

Congrats Brian. That Neon was so planted, at times it looked like the wheels and the frame were around the next turn and the rest of the car was trying to catch up. :)

Can't wait for the photos!

I think there was some confusion because I had to switch cars for sunday, but instead of an '03 330i I should be a '98 328is.

Big thanks to everyone who helped organize this weekend, especially the instructors for the school. It was great to get some experience without the pressure of setting fast times. Now all I need is something other than 2 year old all-seasons for the 328.

It was a great weekend, despite some cold weather in the mornings. Glad I could be some help to fellow members with the trailer.

Oh, and George no more fun runs in a Mustang! :wink:

I have a bunch of pictures.
Haven't had time to do anything with them yet, other than the one I got of Trevor off the starting line.
I'll do my best to get them up this weekend.
Do I post them under ARMS? Or is it best to share them on a third party site?

You can attach them to you post, but most people just use Photobucket or similar.
