So Autoslalom party weekends... you know those weekends where you do a test and tune on Friday .. compete on Saturday and sunday.. have the best of each day added together and get a trophy if you win ... combined ussually with a dinner saturday night or a large bonfire or both... sounds kind of like the nationals for anyone who has gone to them. but these party weekends are ussually not the nationals such examples of these weekends include The Slalom at Slemon or The Super Slalom in Saskatoon (say that last one 5 times fast)

So why hasn't an ontario club ever decided to put on an autoslalom weekend? I know SPDA has the nationals this year but that is different since the nationals roves around. Slalom at Slemon has been there for 11 years (I think, thats what I heard when I was there)

to me it seems like clubs in ontario are missing out on an opportunity to create an event that would attract people from all over. Slalom at Slemon gets people from all over the maritimes and the North eastern USA.

just curious what others think on this topic

Yep. Slemon is into its 12th year in 2006. The hilight of the competition season for just about everyone slaloming in NS/NB/PEI.

Actually there was a plan in the works for such an event (actually it would have been bigger), but we nixed it because the cost would likely be too high.

why? I never have a problem with going out of province to get my fix of autoslalom parties.

I'm just saying it seems to be an area thats really lacking in ontario...I dunno we really don't have a weekend where someone can say"if I do one event this year that would be the one"

The problem here at a big track would cost $150 for the weekend per entry. Anyone? Anyone?
