  • Canadian Autoslalom - Western Championship

    Hi all,

    Cliff mentioned that I should bring up the CAWC event in Red Deer.

    We have secured the Westerner grounds in Red Deer for June 14 (Friday - test 'n tune) and June 15/16 for a 2-day Western Canadian Championship to be run under the CNAC rules.

    It is a very large lot (almost 1/4 mile wide by approx. 5-600 feet deep) we have used over the previous few years for our largest 2-day events. According to Alan Rae (Caterham 7), it is as good as anything he has run on in the SCCA. We are anticipating a larger turn-out this year...perhaps in the 100 range from Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary and from BC, of course.

    If you want to compare yourself to the rest of Western Canada, this is your chance. We are making it the absolute highest calibre event that we can from every perspective including course design, trophies etc. A committee specifically dedicated to the event has been meeting for a few months already.

    The registration forms are on-line so the entries can begin at any time including VISA entries.

    Please check out the web site at:
    www.CNACsolo.ca and click on the Western Championship at the bottom of the main page. We are continuing to update the data as fast as we can.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to fire questions my way!

    Regards,

      We will likely cancel our Test and Tune on the Saturday June 15th to try and encourage our members to attend this event. We will however continue with our Closed Club on June 16th (cast in stone).

      Thanks,

        Dang! I totally forgot about the western CNAC... missed out last year due to motorcycle lessons.

        guess I have to miss it again this year - don't have a trailer for the civic.

            You can drive it in a long day Red Deer is about 1/3 of the way between Calgary and Edmonton right off of the freeway. It takes about 10 -12 hours to get to Cagary and another 1-2 hours to get to Red Deer.

                Hi all,

                I noticed (and forgot) that some fax machines may not be entirely compatible with mine.

                If you are having trouble faxing the CAWC entry form, then please fax it to my office fax: (403) 670-7301.

                But, please make sure you add a cover page with my name on it (Reijo Silvennoinen). We get hundreds of pages of faxes every day and forms could easily get lost without the cover page.

                Thanks!

                Reijo

                  So who is planning on going?
                  I am going..
                  I would like to arrive in time so I can do some of that Friday test and tune stuff but its dependent on when another person is going. I don't want to make the drive alone.

                    I'd think that one would have to take Friday and Monday off of work to do this event - I'd like to go but I'll have to see if I can get the time off.

                          I got an offer to co-drive the AM car I used to own. I am trying to decide if I have the time to drive out with someone from B.C. or fly out on Friday evening. Need to know if someone can take a passenger. Will share gas money, driving and hotel costs.

                              Decided not to go after all. Need to attend the closed club to test the Phantom to make sure the engine will run again after that 25-second ET down the drag strip. Took the new crank trigger sensor off and put the old one back on. Engine ran, then died. Would not even start up after that. Found out the magnet flew off somehow. Hope there is nothing else wrong with the engine.

                              Good luck to all of you who are going.
