It says I'm in GT3, does that make any sence or did I do domething wrong?

Hi Shawn, I did a quick PIP schedule for you with the mods you listed. I had your car starting in T1 (58.5 points) class and even after adding the mods I still had you in T1 (59.4 points). The R888's is what gave you back -5 points, otherwise you would land in GT4.

Consider me in if i pass tech on Sunday

I'll be there if I'm feeling better, I've been sick all week

Just registered for my first time attack event. Hope we get the numbers, the weather sounds great!

Wondering what the rules are for taking passengers around the track. Also wondering if I could sign up for a loaner helmet, I think I am going to need one (said no during my registration). Hopefully we get 12 people!

Thanks!

So.... how many are registered so far?
And would it be possible to post first names and last initial so people can get an idea who is going?
That may spur some people who might be sitting on the fence to register.

Gordon, Taylor, Jason?

I am sorry to say that we (ASCC) will be having to cancel tomorrow's Time Attack due to a lack of Pre-Registered competitors. Part of the issue with not having the number of competitors we needed pre-registered is that we need people to work marshal stations for safety purposes. With less than 12 competitors we do not have enough people to man stations.

The reason for us making a 6pm cut off is so everyone who would be coming out to the event would have a reasonable amount of time to make changes to their schedules.

Again I am sorry to say that we are having to cancel this event.

ASCC will arrange the reimbursement of everyone who has pre-paid.

Well this sucks!!!
So a premier Regional event gets cancelled even before the date of the event based on not enough pre-registered entrants.
I wonder if a Regional road race would get cancelled based on not enough pre-registration.
So we're looking at $320.00 and not enough volunters (And I noticed that some did volunter, thanks guys for that, I know youd rather be working on your cars.)
Hope we can keep the Series going...

Wow, this really stinks. Will there be lapping or anything else going on tomorrow instead? I think some advertising or something is in order for the next race.

-Mike

I'm not a member of ASCC but in doing the math 12 competitors does not seem to be the "break even" number, but more of an "acceptable losses" number.

Sorry to see this event canceled but Taylor did state in the original post that unless ASCC received 12 pre registrations the event would be canceled. He also did post a deadline of 6pm tonight, which is when the hard decision was made.

Everyone willing to pay an extra $32 to drive tomorrow? I am. We can make up the cost.

2 run groups = 5 workers, Plus a couple volunteers and we have enough to man corners 2,3,5,7,9 and 11.

This seems doable. The series will never grow if the events get cancelled.


Can the 10 of us at least go lapping tomorrow?

I am absolutely willing to pay more for tommoro and so is my partner in crime(Gabe) i have others coming who could help with marshaling...i was told not to pre register until they saw the work done on my brakes which is dialed in and ready to rock for tommoro. Myself and Gabe are new to the sport and 2 new cars to the sport would constitute growth. It took an act of god to get the EBC yellowstuffs in from the UK for my car but is done installed... This is salvageable and needs to continue. We even asked Debbie at the ASCC meeting if there weren't 12 competitors everyone would just have to pay a few bucks more. Seems Do-able to me. Not doing it with this amount of people willing to pay more is unnacceptable.

While I am no longer a member of ASCC I support whatever decision they have made regarding this event.

Having organized and run these events for many years I know what goes into the the planning, preparation and execution of such a large event.

First off the type of insurance needs to be purchased weeks in advance (to avoid a late fee). It is more than double (almost triple) the cost for Time Attack (no passing) as it is for just Lapping. Changing the insurance on a weekend day is not possible. You could use the Time Attack insurance for lapping but it would be a very expensive lapping day.

Likely at this point MRT has been canceled and AMP has been notified that ASCC is not renting the facility. MRT probably have already made other plans.
Any other (ARMS) club wanting to rent the track would need insurance, which can't be purchased on such short notice, let alone the weekend.

Special circumstances aside, I think if people were truely interested they would have pre registered.
I know a number of regular competitors in the region were unable to make this event either due to car issues or financial issues.

Speaking from a regional standpoint we only need 3 events to constitute a regional series. So lets make the next 3 count!

Again I'm not a member of ASCC, but I've been in their position before and sometimes the hard decisions are the right ones, even if it makes you unpopular.

I agree with the event being cancelled for the reasons given and feel bad for those trying to organize the event as well as competitors, including myself.

That being said, this was going to be my first event and I was looking forward to participating. I spoke to a number of people at lapping last weekend and excitement seemed to be high for this event. Being a former stock car racer I was looking forward to getting back into friendly motorsport competition. After speaking with a number of people and getting tips on springs, tires, etc. I was excited about spending some money to be more competitive. Hard to justify spending money if this continues to happen. I'm new to this type of motorsport and think that is the best kept secret in the area. There will have to be some work to do before the next event in order to insure that this doesn't happen again. I am willing to help out leading up to the next event if there is anything that I can do. I would love to be at the meeting Tuesday to maybe discuss further, however I have tickets to a concert.

Hopefully further discussion can save the next event and the season.

I am willing to spend an extra 30 bucks to make this happen. I also had two buddies who were going to come with me, both would be willing to marshal. All three of us got time off of work tomorrow to make this happen. Hugely disappointing, I cant believe there were only 10 people interested in this.
