Senior's discount(s)

Hi all, Senior's discounts came up here (Calgary) just recently and I don't recall seeing a discount at solo events anywhere (not being a senior just "quite" yet ... :) ). Does CalClub have a discount for seniors? Just looking to perhaps institute something up here. We seem to be getting s...

Where to find Racing Fuel???

We are here for the Pro ... and were wondering where near El Toro one might find some race fuel ... oxygenated up to 107-108 octane ... or otherwise up to 100 octane.

Thanks,

Re: Looking for a co-drive for the SCCA San Diego Championsh

Dave, I though your ride with QV was for the El Toro Pro according our discussions?

You need a co-drive for SD then....

Re: We need more E-street competitors at the San Diego Tour.

David Grey (friend of mine) is signed up in ES ... has a Miata but it is in Calgary ... so he needs a co-drive ... someone want a tire warmer? He is flying there.

Thanks,

We are still looking for some co-drive for David at San Diego and at El Toro ... anyone? Anything?

Looking for a co-drive for SD NT and El Toro

One of my local friends, David Grey, is going to attend the San Diego Tour and El Toro Pro. He wishes to fly in and co-drive with someone. He has competed locally for a while, an engineer by training and mid-aged ... drives a Miata, Civic and a Mustang and has already entered in E-Street (just to si...

Re: Not Just SUV's ... Fiat 500 Also

Actually it is not so much for drawing out/or "stealing" the existing CS or other stock entries but rather seeing if new people will enter the Tours/Pros with street tires who otherwise might not enter. R I don't know if you're aware of this, Reijo, but the new-for-this-year RT classes fo...

Re: Not Just SUV's ... Fiat 500 Also

The "experiment" is testing the hypothesis that ES can have increased numbers of entrants and simultaneously create a sense of fun, close competition and reduced costs if the main ingredient is street tires only. So far, so good. How's that working for you with the San Diego region, the N...

I don't have a bone in the great stock class tire debate. I really don't have any interest in "stock". But it seems to me that the best argument the street tire religion folks can make is that the future of automobiles is the B-Specs. We're going to start looking more like Europe with $6 ...

We use a National style grid up here in Calgary otherwise even with very few people the "grid" becomes disorganized and frustrating ... but it takes a bit of coaxing to get it done as a part of course layout. Mind you I also have it drawn in on the course map so everyone knows where it is ...
