SPDA presents round 2 of the CASC-OR Provincial Championships. Last year, SPDA partnered up with STLAC to provide competitors with a unique event consisting of a challenging, adrenaline pumping layout, using the ex bomber base located in beautiful Picton Ontario.
This 2 day event began with Canada’s most challenging, fastest autoslalom. The rulebook was scrutinized and the results became "history in the making". This 1.7 Km course averaged 70 seconds giving an average speed of 84 Km/h. The runways at Picton Airport provided the course designer a large canvas with which to create this masterpiece.
Following Day 1, participants were invited to “Black Prince” winery to enjoy the fruits of Picton, as well as a barbecue. SPDA members were provided a free dinner for their friends and family.
The course layout started with an offset chicane to prevent advantages to AWD cars. Ironic considering a drag start would have favored the SPDA club members, but alas, political correctness was the order of the day.
The offset start followed by a 30 meter straight, into a 25 pace 7 cone slalom, into a roundabout gate 450 degrees, into a gate which led to an entry gate, and into a high speed 43 meter spacing 7 cone slalom, into a sweeping right hand turn into offset slaloms, then it’s back onto runway 1, through a sweeping left hand turn, into a Chicago box, then to an offset slalom into the stop box.
There were 3 cars on the course, and competitors were rewarded with 6 official runs by 3:00 pm, followed by uncountable fun runs.
That was then, May 31st brings to life “Rumble at the Strip II”, what we have in planned will dwarf the previous Rumble. Yes, we’re playing “One Upmanship” against ourselves, and are working diligently to outdo the previous history making event. This one promises to be “Bigger, Harder, Faster”.
Dare yourself!!
