Directions:
You must sign in at two locations to gain access to the Air Strip.
OBEY ALL SPEED LIMITS ON BASE (they range from 50 km/hr to as low as 20 km/hr). The Military Police WILL ticket you.
These directions start from 97 St. & 137 Ave Edmonton.
At 137 Ave. & 97 St., reset your trip odometer. Go north on 97 Street out of Edmonton.
Take Exit "Edmonton Garrison" (Hwy 28A / 97 St..) approx. 5.7 km north of 137 Ave.
OBEY ALL SPEED LIMITS.
NO STUNTING on Base Property.
Go straight North after the 4 way stop intersection (approx. 8.0 km north of 137 Ave / 97 St.).
OBEY ALL SPEED LIMITS.
Turn right (East) at the next Avenue (Churchill - approx 9.0 km north of 137 Ave / 97 St. - watch for a white UN tank at this corner and a checkpoint building).
Park. Go into the building to the North of where you are parked and tell them you are with the group that is racing on the Air Strip. Sign in with the guard on duty. Be prepared to produce ID (driver's license) and provide your vehicle plate number.
Continue east on Churchill Ave. to a stop sign. Turn left (North). Proceed to the next stop sign at Vimy Ave. Turn right (East). You will arrive at the air strip gate. There is another building there. Park and go inside and sign in again.
Enter the Runway gate when it is opened for you and proceed toward the far end. Courses vary in location - most often we are on the taxiways that are located to the Northeast - look for cars parked off then main strip on the taxiways - this will be the location of the course. Drive the speed limit on the Runway (60 km/h).
Thanks in advance for your cooperation to comply with the needs of the Base.
ENJOY THE EVENT!

whoa, didn't even know about this one, what club is hosting this event? I don't think I'll actually race, I really need lowering springs before I try that again.. I tore the crap out of my tires, the sidewalls got it pretty badly because of my nasty body roll. if I can, I might go out to spectate and get some pics though.
edit: oh, just realized that its ASA, and I missed the reg. deadline.. guess I won't be going |

last one was RX-7 club actually, but yeah same place. and I was looking at the one on the 8th, my bad.
ah, I don't even care if I don't get springs in time, this is too much fun to miss out on, I'm going anyway :bthumbup:
edit: ok I've changed my mind yet agan, after actually thinking about this, its probably a better idea NOT to compete, since I really need new brake pads and lowering springs on the car, or its gonna put too much unnecessary wear on the vehicle. I'm still registering as a spectator though, I wanna do a bit of photography. |
