Re: Time attack nov. 20 at ddt
Hello all
Here is the much anticipated answer to the question about where and when will our last autocross of 2011 be: We will be running a Solo 1 (on track rather than Solo 2 in a parking lot) event on the Mosport DDT.
When: Sunday November, 20th 2011 at 8:00 am. It is imperative that all participants arrive on time as their will be a mandatory safety and driver meeting for all participants! Please arrive early to allow sufficient time to prepare your car for the event and so on.
Cost: $100.00 incl. HST for members (register online) $125.00 incl. HST for non-members (at the track). Lunch and drinks will be included as the cafeteria will not be open. Bring snacks for later in case you get the munchies. Registration will be on-line. As an added bonus, all participants will be invited to remain after the last timed run has completed to take part in open lapping until 5pm when the track shuts down.
All of the same rules apply as the Solo 2 events with some minor changes. Helmets are mandatory. There will be cones on track creating obstacles. Each cone/gate that gets hit will add a 2 second penalty to your time. If you miss a gate, there will be there a 5 second penalty added to your time as we will be not be able to double back. There will be an EMS attendant at the track. As this event is taking place in late November please dress and prepare accordingly for the environment. Remember, there is no such thing as bad weather for a track day, just inappropriate attire!
If you are not interested in participating but are willing and able to volunteer we would greatly appreciate your help. We need marshals to help ensure safety and success of our first Solo 1 event ever!
Sincerely,
John Venditti

Don`t know the answer to how the cones will be placed.
As an added bonus, all participants will be invited to remain after the last timed run has completed to take part in open lapping until 5pm when the track shuts down.1987 DECH MUSTANG

Re: Time attack nov. 20 at ddt
I suspect it's to keep in line with the standards and limits of autocross, which typically has a max speed limit of ~100 km/h (think parking lot, not race track) ...
... if run wide open, you can hit ~160+ km/h on the DDT.
The regional autoslalom series has run at the DDT, and put pylons in place to A) limit the speeds, AND B) make it more technical and "interesting".
I'd love to get out one last time this year, but will have to see how next w/e pans out .OMSC

If they were trying to keep in line with the standards of autocross why would they call it a solo1 eventsigpic
