What is meant by single day double header on September 18th?

2 different course layouts, 5-6 runs per course? Seems like a lot in one day

:thumbup:

The plan will most likely be to run two different courses and then your placing would be your best two times added together. It would most likely be 3-4 runs on each course.

Anyone else taking part in this series this weekend?

I will be!!!! Black FRS

Awesome, blue frs!!! See you tomorrow

Registration is open for Event #2 which is this Sunday.

Our website where you can check out upcoming events and see past results is http://twinlakesmc.org/autoslalom/

Sweet. The website went from 1998 to 2016

lol. Yeah, it was long overdue. :D

mini or brz for Sunday... can't decide!!... need to get some seat time in the brz tho...


Site is looking great btw

who else is going out on Sunday? I'm considering depending what time I get home on Saturday night...

I'll be there!

I was the only 86 there today for the AutoX, quite unusual to be the only frs/brz out... last weekend I was at the ddt and there had to be at least a dozen there...

It was honestly too hot for me today.

How was the drive back south though? Hell like usual?

I'm in Oshawa, I never take the 400's to get to Barrie I go up lakeridge to davis, yonge and work my way up that way, never a traffic issue in either direction for me.

We were also done 7 runs by 3 pm too, so it was early enough I think the 400 may not have been too bad.

SJD, what is a (CASC-OR Regional Event)? Is it still open to the public? I see there are two back to back events in July. I would like to attend one.

Sorry, I missed your post. 10 straight days of work meant very little forum time. :mad0260:

The CASC-OR Regional Series is a province wide autoslalom tour and this is the first two of the three TLMC stops.

This Sunday!

Only one left after this one.

I'll be there! My first Barrie event of the season - hopefully won't make a fool of myself like I did last year.

Didn't look like you did! surprised we didn't see a better showing from the s2k's today, the miatii sure liked it... placing 1 thru 5... sure hope the rumours of new pax classification for the twins come through for next season :paddle:


Oh yeah and come out the the whitby event labour day weekend if you can. OMSC puts on a good event and even includes free bbq with your registration. (and better toilet facilities than them northern folks in barrie)

Not sure if you remembered but I wasn't driving my S2000 - I swapped rides with Colin and drove his 4C and made a mockery of it lol:

Here is Colin driving my S:

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oems9tt6y84"]TLMC Autocross - August 14, 2016 - Colin co-driving my S2000 - YouTube[/ame]

Oh yeah I noticed, (Jealous) was just commenting on the placings of the s2k's I thought they would do better.

I am surprised too given how quick the course was but it was also quite tight giving the Miatas slightly more edge especially in the bus stop to the stop box section. That area near the end of the day was quite a workout!

I was extra surprised Curt in his CR S2000 couldn't get it locked in.

In some ways, while I am extremely grateful to have been able to drive the 4C, I kinda wished I could have done my S2000 as well to see how I stack in course like this.

Still, the 4C was fantastic - total inverse of my car (torque down low, manual steering, much wider) so the learning curve was especially steep for me. Everything I do with the S2k I had to do backwards (brake earlier, wrench the wheel).

I barely fit in it though - had to hunch over to make sure I wouldn't scratch the roof liner with my helmet.

But the sound... the glorious sound...

Last one of the year! Unfortunately it is the same day of the final PITL.

For those of you coming up North for our event we will run three runs in one direction in the morning, then three runs in the afternoon in the opposite direction. Your best time from the morning and your best time from the afternoon will be added together and scored accordingly. This will essentially mimic a typical two-day event...in one day!
