SPDA Advanced Driving Clinic 2015 - New registration time

[sergiomordo]

I signed up for both days.. Don't think you will have any issues with warranty, this car is made for this stuff. And Scion promotes racing these cars with contingency programs etc. Just make sure to break in your engine before doing any track days etc..

I was the unlucky white fr-s that parked next to one of those flags, which fell down and dented my roof But they are going to fix it at no cost to me which is good

I came in the 2015 Steel FR-S and parked to the left of two Asphalts.

When did you get there? If you parked next to the two Asphalt FRS' then myself and @BryceRocket were still there (mine has red tails).

Bryce was doing membership stuff for SPDA, I was taking driving clinic registrations. Once the clinic was sold out I was over at the OTA booth.

In any case, you'll be fine for warranty. Just make sure it's broken in fully first.

It was probably about 12:15 by the time I got there. Good to hear positive opinions on the warranty topic.

Do any of you guys go to the regular GTA meets? I'd be interested in meeting you guys (or any FRS owners who autocross or have a foot in motorsports in Ontario).

[7thgear]

you can meet us at the autocross events


I personally stay away from the generic meets.

[sergiomordo]

We arranged couple meets on Fridays at Chatime parking lot in Markham. These meets went well, no idiots doing burnouts or trying to race, just car guys talking about cars and meeting each other. After haveing meets every week for a while we stopped but might continue.. I heard there was a meet last friday on missisauga side but i was told some idiots tried to race etc..

There will be weekly meets by BRZ World on wednesdays starting in May i believe as well.

[wparsons]

Most of the meets are too far away for my lazy ass

Serge (7thgear) is at pretty much every autoslalom event in the area, and I'll be at almost all (or all) of the OTA time attack events. Might check out CSCS when it stops at CTMP since it's only ~25 minutes away from home.

[7thgear]

well, not EVERY.

last year I hit up the regionals and PITL.

This year I may do Regionals and TLMC. Only so much wife points.

[Rameus]

Haha thanks guys. I hope to meet some of you at autoslaloms this year then.

What's the best way to keep myself informed of the 2015 autoslalom schedule? The CASC forums have a draft 2015 schedule up, but as I understood it after talking to people this past Saturday, there should be many autoslaloms run by a variety of groups...?
