I hear it's a great place to get your groceries!

I'm not sure how to design a course for shopping carts though. I guess Bill knows what its like to drive one though.......


:D

[TOYSRUS]

hardy har........har..:)

Paul, you have email.

[Mazda6smtx]

Why are there only 6 events, can't we have like 10? :D

[Kreutz73]

why stop at 10....

20?

[Kreutz73]

Mohawk would be awesome, 15min drive from my house!

[Kreutz73]

need consistent pavement man!

[P90Puma]

need consistent pavement man!

I haven't been to mohawk in 8+ years, and I wasn't exactly paying attention to the parking lot at that age.

McMaster (where I go) has one or two decent lots, but I would have no idea who to contact, or if they would be willing to rent.

[StarGehzer]

Lots of parking lot over here...

[Jon04CTSV]

Good to know it'll still be going despite the location change.

[yellowhotshoe]

There's a nice new piece of parking lot on the north side of upper Canada Mall in Newmarket. Small to medium size.

The Loblaws HO lot in Mississauga was really good! :D

I second that. I think an airport will always be more fun than a parking lot.

... fewer random pedestrians in a fenced in area too!

[Burnsey]

Heh - yeah - I always love that "WTF is this?!?" look on their faces as they stumble towards their parked car, still in their bar clothes from the night before :D

[AtomicPunk]

Location and other details to be confirmed in the coming weeks!

Any word on a location?

[13inches]

Any word on a location?

We'll make an announcement once the contract is signed. I'm sure we'll be able to let everyone know before March 1st.

[P90Puma]

Open house this year again?

[13inches]

Open house this year again?

Absolutely! Details will follow once we start making arrangements. Same goes for lunch this year, new venue = new food supplier....?

[AtomicPunk]

Speculation on new location? I see the Ontario series is showing events at Downsview (at least tentatively). Will PITL be following? Damn, that's like 15 mins from home.

[bluebox]

Can we have washrooms this year?

[AtomicPunk]

Can we have washrooms this year?

x2

[13inches]

I'll bring that up with the boss! Should be doable, unless the new location gives us access to their building instead. Not likely, but who knows........

[Pete@Marcor]

We'll make an announcement once the contract is signed. I'm sure we'll be able to let everyone know before March 1st.

But SURELY not in this forum? :D

x3. Let's rent a porta-can...I'd gladly pony up the extra $$ for that :D

Still on track for an annoucement this week?

[13inches]

I hope so!

[13inches]

Sadly we're a little delayed with the contract. The legal department is very busy, something about the company's fiscal year-end taking priority.

The anticipation builds...

[mikewolf]

Which company? ;)

[soloZ]

I didn't think the shoot-out vehicle would have cost you that much:rolleyes:

[13inches]

Which company? ;)

The only company you should be concerned about is HOOSIER!

[mikewolf]

I'm not worried about hoosiers. I've got a big wing I'm gonna put on my trunk for extra downforce and maybe I'll add some speed holes.

So any news yet?

The only thing to report is that Sept 6 might move to Sept 13 to avoid a regional conflict.

[AtomicPunk]

... maybe I'll add some speed holes. ?

What is your preffered method of adding speed holes - pick-axe or pistol? D'oh!

Homer: Hey, what are all these holes? (points at bullet holes in car hood)
Car Salesmen: These are speed holes. They make the car go faster.
Homer: (impressed) Oh yeah, speed holes.

[Tashko]

Any chance of an additional Pro-Solo? :D

[13inches]

Any chance of an additional Pro-Solo? :D Possibly ;)

Any chance of SPDA reviving the Solo-With-A-Twist? :D :D

[Tashko]

Possibly ;)

Any chance of SPDA reviving the Solo-With-A-Twist?

I actually missed all the Solo-With-A-Twist events so I'd like for them to happen. I'll have to give a little poke to execs and see what happens! :)

So, back on topic...are we going to have to wait until the open house for the location?

p.s. Is it too early or late to start trash talk? Bring on the new wider Hoosier go-kart tires! It'll be one less excuse!;) :D

Ice - #102 Street Stud

And which street would do you claim be a stud on? Church Street?

:eek:

[Mazda6smtx]

Is there a finalized schedule yet?

Nothing that would be of any use to the public. We're still working hard at it though.

In other news, I was in touch with the Corvette guys and they don't have anything to publish either :(

Damn that sucks, I started my solo2 life at a Corvette event back in 2000.

[mikewolf]

I'm starting to get worried. How am I going to win 'A mod' if there's no place to race:)

I may be wrong, but I think you have to finish higher than 3rd in class at an event in order to win anything.

;) :p :D

ouch why so mean, on another note it must have suck getting beaten by a guy weighing allmost twice your weight in the same car lol:p (:( I need to loose weight)

Oh any other news? or am I going to be the 2007/2008 series champion?

[-=DRIFT=-]

Updates?:confused:

[13inches]

Hang in there boys and girls. We're still working on it!

[Mazda6smtx]

Anything yet . . . . ?

[Burnsey]

Not sure if/how I can help, but if you need a volunteer for something feel free to PM me ;)

[AtomicPunk]

Ok, now I'm worried. We're only a week and a half away from what should be the first event of the season. No open house. This doesn't look good. Any updates? Should I be making other plans for the weekend of the 24th?

I'm sure you guys are doing everything you can to make this happen, so I'm definately not complaining. It's just that the PITL events are typically a lot of fun and I'd sure miss them if the series didn't come together this year :( .

Agreed doesn't look good, dates are normally posted well in advance from what I can remember, here's hoping they can at least get a pro-solo or a partial series in this year.

As far as events - not including the school in april;

HADA had an event two weeks ago,
first regional is this saturday may 17@mosport DDT,
May 25(sun) there are events in Picton and Barrie

Plenty more events are listed at:

[yellowhotshoe]

If you're still having trouble securing a lot, try Upper Canada Mall. I have NO connections, names etc for the mall mgmt, but there's a half decent sized piece of parking lot that has been totally empty since they paved it last year. Its in the northeast part of the mall adjacent to the Sears Home store. I would say its on par with the north lot of the Powerade Ctr in Brampton size-wise.

Just passing along an observation...

[mikewolf]

At least a prosolo (or 2) That was my favorite event anyway.

[13inches]

We're making progress this week, so keep your fingers crossed!

Unfortunately, the odds are we won't be able to hit the May 24th date. But it looks like we'll know more by the end of next week.

We'll try to get an email out to everyone shortly.

Sometimes things are WORTH waiting for
(thanks KG!) ;)

[Burnsey]

^^Great to hear.

And FWIW, thanks for all of your hard work

For those of us not on the HADA list, could someone update this thread? ;)
