I think I can speak for 3 local DSMs.  I will make sure my car is there after I wrangle Tommy into fixing my weeping transmission seal and swapping in a new fuel filter.  Hamish in his grey 1G will be there, as well as Ryan H with his red 1G.

Shall we take bets on which DSM will post FTD? (I'm not betting on mine.)

I'll be there, in the white 91 (don't think you were there any of the races i was at last summer)  

If I were to bet I'd go with Hamish...but not hands down.  He has told me what you've done to your car and it sounds like it'll rip...I hope he'll be there, he figures he will as long as all his tranny parts come in quickly.

I think the only person I have a chance of beating is Ryan...assuming he didn't do any work over the winter as we were pretty even in the summer.  Should be a good turnout.

Yeah I've been out of it for a year.  When I had a running car, Garth and Ryan (in my car), and I would have some great battles.  Then Hamish came along and he's taken my place.

I've definitely have to shake off all the driver's rust for me to get back to being competitive.  I'm afraid driving a Colt for a year and a half and only attending a single autocross in the mean time will be hard to shake off.

Ryan probably won't be FTD competitive until he gets some sticky rubber.  He should have his car caged, and it is currently stripped.  He's preparing for the hillclimb event the VMSC will be hosting.  If it all works out, this will be the second hillclimb event in Canada besides Knox Mtn.

That hasn't been announced, but it would be a great venue!  I hope they can work all of the details out.  Unfortunately we all need cages to run the hillclimb.

Quick answer : No.  

If you are going to run more than one event, the savings alone will make it worthwhile to join.  If you hold a road-race licences, you will have to be a member of the VMSC in Victoria, as it is in the only member club of the CACC and associated sanctioning bodies locally.

For full details on membership and events, check out:

Don't worry, I don't have that car anymore

Where are these events going to be held? I'd like to go watch the first one and compete in the rest... need to know how tight the course is and if I can turn fast enough

Aren't you in a 240?  You will have nothing to worry about considering we are running in DSMs.

I will bet you will get at least 1 FTD.....

Now, all I have to do is learn how to drive so I can give you guys some competition.   8)
