Check out the new VMSC website, http://vmsc.ca/. Longtime member Gavin Aitken has done a great job giving our site a much needed facelift. The new site lets us update the content much easier and much faster. Following the January event, we were able to have the results posted in about four hours after the event. We will also have registration and payment for events in the near future. If you have any suggestions or comments on the new site feel free to post on the forum or Facebook page.
What a great start to the 2014 season with 54 cars showing up for the January 19th Autoslalom. It was a bit cool but at least there was no moisture on the track. Thanks to Cam for a smooth track layout and to all the usual suspects who never fail to volunteer their time.
All the dates on the Schedule section of the website are confirmed dates. We haven’t quite decided the type of event that will be held on some of the dates but stay tuned as we finalized that in the next month. You can also find a post on our forum under the General section with all the known dates of Autoslalom and Time Attack on the Island and the lower mainland for 2014. As more clubs post dates, this will get updated further so let me know if you see it needs additions or corrections.
The new wireless timing gear was not available for the first event but it is all ready to go for the February 16th event. We are still going to ask everyone to put numbers on their cars for this event but we should hopefully have our barcode scanner working too. The numbers will be a backup in case the scanner to laptop has issues.
Check out the website under the Join menu and you’ll find a page on our upcoming driver training course. March 29-30 are the dates for this very popular event so make sure you sign up early to secure your seat.
Cheers,
Karl Rhynas
