July 24 Solosprint

Thanks to everyone who made the event fun, even for those of us who didn't participate!  I got some videos of a few people - sorry that I didn't get more but I couldn't spend the whole day watching.

Here are all that I did get:

Really neat seeing such incredible cars in their element, it made for great spectating.

Very disappointing event for me.  Car trouble saw me only get two runs in and each was only at about 3/4 throttle.  Thats what I get for getting a new setup together at 12am and not having any real test time.  Oh and I was really happy with the way the new springs made the car handle.

Big thanks to Ian for putting this event together, Paul B for towing the club trailer(and his zip ties) and to everyone that came out to support this event.

This Solosprint was a blast, I can hardly wait until the next one.  Thanks to Ian and to all the volunteers that came out to help that did not run their cars.  Hope to see more members out to the next one.  If you would like to run your car at faster than highway speeds, legally, this type of event is for you.  

I have added a link to an in-car camera from one of my runs.  No keys rattling this time but I still need to get a circular polarizing filter to clean up the reflections.  You'll see I use the camera to take notes for each run to record later.

Thanks also to Glenn for posting the video of some of the field from the A run group.  It's so much fun to see one's car from the outside....but it seems so much faster from the inside.

It was nice to see some of the folks who always volunteer for the slalom having a chance to run their cars, and some people out from Vancouver as well.  I wish I had got a licence this year now - oh well, maybe next year.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped put the whole event together.  Couldn't have asked for better weather.

Here's some in-car footage from my best run:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSvVDliYgvs

Big thanks to Dina, Bill L, Mike, Stu, and Paul B for coming out to work the event. Having those extra hands makes a huge difference in being able to pull off the event.

Also thanks to the Hulan brothers for making the trip from the mainland. Hope we see you again...and tell your friends  Smiley

Thanks for posting the results Marcel.  Is there not a PAX component to Solosprint?

Too bad.  I think it would be fun to see the comparison of the cars across the classes.  This event was so much fun so sign me up for the October event.
