| Just wanted to verify that Calgary is in October not Aug 20th?????:dunno: |
|
|
| nitr0 |
| is the drifting open to anyone? |
|
|
| Can't Stop Spin |
| are the classes in drag racing going to be the same as last year? Or has that changed as well? |
|

So, it has finally happened...
Sport Compact Challenge has morphed into Street Car Challenge.
That's it... I guess the floodgates are open. Do we assume this means Mustangs, Camaros and Trans-Ams are openly invited?
This could also imply that imports w/ V8 swaps (Miatas? 240Zs?) would also be eligible for competition then as well?
New SCC = former JB's style event? |

Ron@Revolution - Calgary date is Oct 7 and is a DAY event, not evening event as it was in the past.
nitr0 - drifting is open to registration onw, but we have not determined a format yet. You can register by emailing me at mark@v8less.com with your drifting experience and we can go from there.
Can't Stop Spin - Drag classes are located here: http://www.streetcarchallenge.ca/drag.htm, and are the same as years past.
Inzane - Mustangs, Camaros and Trans-Ams are openly invited but are in an Outlaw class. This is no different from previous years but the event is still tuner based and branded as such by our print and advertising. |

V8less class competitors must meet the General Competition Eligibility requirements. No pre-registration before the event is required for competitors in the V8less class. Competitors are only required to register at the event.
Just to clarify, there is no restriction on fuel? I know nitrous is considered a power adder, but what about water/alcohol/methanol injection? Is race gas allowed without being considered a power adder? |
|
|
| Ron@Revolution |
| I have never heard of race gas, or even Meth being considered a power adder? Turbo, Supercharger, or Nitrous is the only three that NHRA consider to be power adders. |

This event isn't sanctioned by the NHRA.
I just want clarification from the guy in charge of final decisions, I don't want to get bumped into Outlaw or Exhibition for running something other than petrol. |
|
|
| Ron@Revolution |
| Did I read correct the event is only from 12-6pm? I take it, that it well be impossible to compete in more then one event, and it well be even hard to run all those guys through the drag in that time. |

This has not been different from years past - we've not had any problems here. Competing in 2 events is not recommended and racing will not be held up for those wanting to compete in 2 events. |

You mean drag racing won't be held up for ppl wanting to auto-x/drift right?
And registration is just first come first serve? Thanks,

| Does that mean practice dosen't start till 12? I was sure we always started alot earlier then that. |

Well we wont be waiting for anyone for anything - not fair to other competitors. Make sure you listen for announcements, if you get confused, please talk to an organizer.
All registration is first come first serve. We expect to be sold out of space in 2hours. Maybe earlier in some events. |

All racing starts at 12PM.
Arriving early gets you more time to prep, tech and register. |

i'm not racing this year, but one thing i might suggest is that since the racing is heads up, the 4 cyl's in the outlaw class should be allowed either dot bias ply's or slicks, it would keep the racing close to the domestics that can hook on drag radials.
its interesting, i was looking a few days earlier at the outlaw class, and it did state bias plys were allowed? |

DOT Drag Radials are allowed in all classes. |

sorry i think you misread my post, i noticed that the drag radials are allowed. i was wondering about dot bias ply slicks, and regular non dot slicks for the 4cyl in the outlaw class. |

i'm pretty sure they ruled DOT's tires only(outlaw), so radials or bias ply's doesnt matter but they have to be DOT.

few member will be part of the showoff (which i understand will cost $30) but the rest would like to park with the crew, together
and are we allowed to bring a BBQ keep it with in our car circle
we won't be selling food or anything of taht nature.. it will be for members only |
|
|
| Markis |
Sorry for my late response.
There is no advanced club rate registration. Also, only vehicles registered in the showoff will be able to park in the show area. Other vehicles not registered will have to park in the spectator parking. |

| You can still race exhibition class anyway. Not that the weather looks like there well be any racing this weekend anyway. Well I well be racing the provincial hopefully in Westlock if it rains. Glad I started Motocrossing again.:D |

| HiTempguy |
| I can't wait for this event (thank God no rain is being called for)! I participated last year, and while one of the slowest cars there (17.1s), I had an incredible time. I did about 9 passes in total for the 1/4 mile, and that included a timeslip for every single one. I'm torn between auto-xing or doing the 1/4 mile this year, since my car is setup wayyy better for auto-x (but it's also running alot better, would be in the 16 second range this year)... mabye I'll do both if I can get back and forth between each one? :D |

SCC Edmonton moved to Sunday Sept 17
Due to the high percentage chance of rain, we are moving SCC to Sunday official now.

SCC Edmonton Cancelled
We're sorry to report that SCC is officially cancelled at the recommondation of Castrol Raceway. There are large collections of water at the track that cannot be removed before our event date. Stay tuned as we work to secure a replacement date in October.
SCC Calgary - Oct 7 - we hope to see you there. |
|
|
| nismokutz |
| is it just me or are your events kinda dated late in the season? car show and events for me are much more enjoyable when its warm out. then u have your calgary event later in oct. just cutting it so close to winter no? |
|
|
| Braden |
They were chosen later than usual it seems. The Edmonton date conflicted with an already chosen major Alberta drifting competition in Lethbridge that had a record turnout for Alberta drifters.
It also implies that drifting is an insignificant part of the SCC events because the drift showoff could have continued regardless of water on the track. I bet more Edmonton drivers would have made it down to Lethbridge had there not been SCC on the same weekend. |

scc woulda been lame forr drivers anyway cuz it was just gunna be a lame demo put on. so if u didn't go to leftbridge i guess u miss out on a drift event. hope there's one next year as i would really like to go |
