I regret to inform that a management change at the mall we HAD 100% confirmed (GRRRR) for the July 1 pro solo has screwed us.

The July 1 ProSolo has been CANCELLED.

We will have enough time to secure a new venue for the Sept 5th event, but it will be considered tentative untill further notice.



This is a rare occurence and I apologize sincerely.



Please feel free to join us for our club series (as always)

So does this mean no more square one lot at all? Shitty deal.

You guys should inquire about the bronte lot.. it would be big enough to handle a pro-solo.. of course ask comp if they are ok with that, we don't need any mad corvettes https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

WHat about the GO lot at Bramalea and Steeles?

DareBee 06-16-2005 07:20 AM

No more square one at all.

Things may change 5 years down the road but the way it is now our running days at SQ1 are over.

110 bucks for one day. What is PITL at now? 35 an event? Total seat time is like 5 minutes for one event. That is why I could never go fast until the fun runs when I figured out if it was a left or right for the 3rd turn...



Total seat time on track at solo 1 if you get there earlier is like 3 hours.



If we measure seat time per dollar:



Autox : 5 min / 35 = 7 dollars for every minute

Solo1 : 180 min / 100 = 55 cents for every minute on the track.



Unless you break your car like me....





For lots: Is the downsville airport lot filled with chryslers right now? Else it's usually free and it's huge

Jason lack of money and time doesn't work in the equation "track time in minutes/$"

PITTL events are $30 but being an organiser has benefits ;-)

OK, i'll help you here. Between work, family and PITTL events (married with children ya know) I have 1 EITHER Sat or Sun for myself per month.

For me to enjoy a Solo 1 I would need a Motel stay (at least $50)

2 sets of R tires instead of 1 (extra $1000)

Set of brakes per year ($500) (I haven't changed brakes in 10 years)

At least 3 meals maybe 4 ($50 - 100)

oh yeah entry fee ($110).



It may actually be less $/minute of lap time but it is still time that I don't have and WAY more money than solo 2.



I would love it, but not going to happen



BTW I am not a rocket scientist but I can usually run FTD by my second run in solo 2, whats your problem https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

ColinRX7 06-17-2005 06:26 PM

I have enough dumped into the RX7 as far as I'm concerned, but the car itself doesn't agree..
