Should be very soon. I'll make a thread when it opens, but you can always keep an eye on spda-online.ca as well.

I'm gonna guess you were the white one with BC plates out this weekend? Not sure if I met you or not, I never actually got a look at who was driving it. I was in a black hat and white sunglasses all weekend.

Haha yeah that was me. Were you instructing as well? Might have met you if you're the guy with 84K on his FR-S lol.

A bunch of us are looking forward to signing up (and one lucky guy who got it for free...) so hoping to register whenever it opens. Will keep an eye out!

Man, I was driving way too tentatively with EHP tires at the start. I love how much you can punish them compared to the stock Primacy HP's. Can't wait to go back to DDT next month!

Also, whoever's TRAC TOY had those UEL headers and blue wheels - I love your car!

This event was a gateway drug into racing!

brzr 04-27-2015 09:54 AM

by the sounds of it, the school was fun?!

sucks that brian and i missed it :(

any videos? photos?

drewbot 04-27-2015 10:59 AM

@brzr even though I did day 2 again, it was still as fun as the last time.

I brought my buddy in a Stang, and he was hooked from the start

There were about 12-15 twins this year, I think I heard the pics will be on Facebook (?) some time soon.

Yea lots of fun, 6 of us came as a group but there was many other twins there. Im also waiting for photos, but could not find their facebook page :s

I was instructing, sounds like you were talking to Bryce ( @BryceRocket ). I'm the guy with the other asphalt FRS with red tails, and 99500km's on it :D

I'll definitely make a thread as soon as I hear registration is open, hopefully within the next couple days! The guy primarily organizing it was busy getting prepped for a rally on Saturday.

Kept trying to find you, but the only time I saw your car was at the far end of the lot when I couldn't move from where I was. Your runs through the course looked good though!

Hoping there are some pictures. I only took my camera out of the bag during the classroom stuff on day 1, it just sat by the timing desk all day on day 2.

It's really awesome to hear that everyone had a blast and is looking at coming out to more events, makes all the effort of the organizers well worth it!

@wparsons I walked up to your car at the end of the day for a ride along, but there was a lady in the driver's seat.. :iono:

Haha! That was Mel, if the white STI was behind her that was me driving her car. Did you take a ride with her, she gave at least one person a ride. I took someone out in her car, which was interesting... first time autoxing an AWD car was probably the worst time to take someone else out for a ride :D

The STI is fun, VERY different to drive, but has a ton of power.

drewbot 04-27-2015 05:05 PM

@wparsons I rode with Travis (Black STi with Wedsport TC105n's, ZIIs), whom I understand is a regional champion (?) in his class (STU?)

You're right, the STi has incredible power, I sorta miss that boost feel. Not as tight during corners, but the power is nothing short of fun
