Hey,
Any Canadian teams planning on attending the national championships? I believe it's being held in St. Pie de Bagot, Quebec ( about 40 min from Montreal). July 16-18.

That's in Sanair, right? Have you got a bit more info on the event? It could be interesting.

Yes, here is the website:
http://www.cadl.qc.ca/cnac/menu_e.html

It would be nice to compete against other fsae cars more than once a year.

Hopefully some of the other southern Ontario teams can make out to more local autocrosses with us this summer. I know we will be trying to attend as many WOSCA and PITL events as possible.

Ontario Solo2 site: www.solo2ontario.com (http://www.solo2ontario.com)

This event is open for US teams too.

Being part of the organising club, I can say we sure would like to see your teams compete at the 2004 CAC (Canadian Autoslalom Championship). A seperate class as been set aside for the Formula SAE, so you are more than welcome to participate. We have online registration set up, to ease the registration process. Don't ferget Saturday night Party.

If you have any questions you can contact me at fpruneau@jawfishracing.com

Sounds good, although the school bureaucrats don't seem very keen on letting us race around for insurance reasons. We'll try to work something out.

SWEEEEETTT

It could be great, I have an exam on the saturday morning, but I could be there on Saturday afternoon. How much it would cost for FSAE because last year, we went to Mecaglisse and for students, 40$ each for 4 laps was pretty expensive!!! Also, how many drivers is allowed per team.

06-08-2004, 01:08 PM
Yoah, I just saw that it was 100$ for an inscription before june 1st inscription, I cannot afford this, we are going to England for FS 2004 and 100$ is way to much if it is by driver price!!

Hope Mr Pruneau can give us a discount or a special price!!

École Nationale d'aérotechnique will most probably take part in this autocross, and we hope that many FSAE teams will do it also!

Guy's call me Fred (not enough grey hair to be called Mr. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif)

As for a discount unfortunetely it is not possible, I wish we could, this is an ASN sanctionned event. Keep in mind that all classes have trophies awarded according to the CNAC rules. On other hand your are welcomed to camp at the track for free. We (the organisers and some competitors) will camp on site, hence party...fireworks...fun..

As for the number of drivers per car: It is two drivers per car per class. I say per class because there is also a seperate ladies class.

Thanks Fred,

For us, we don't know if have the energy and time to come. It's sure this will be a lot of fun, but we have to simulate an enduro in order to finish our preparation for FS 2004. The car is bording the plane on the 1st of July and we've manage to find our problem on the skid-pad and dramatically improve our traction, but we have not yet test the car for the ''22km of death'' that an fsae car as to past to finish endurance. We sure look forward for another Solo 2 event, Mecaglisse could be interesting this year again with its Laguna Seca ''look alike'' sand dunes!!!

Have a good one!!!

Hi everybody,

since I'm not able to read right, I tough taht the event was scheduled for this weekend. Since it is in July, we may come but we don't know if the car will be back from England from FS and will be in shapa to compete. Fred, are we able to register on the saturday morning or we absolutely need to register before the event. If we are able to register on the saturday morning, I may and one other team member register for the event and come have fun with you guys!!

Thanks for setting up a class for fsae, Fred! Waterloo will be there for sure with atleast one car. Hope to see more competition there. 2 days of a-cross whould be pretty sweet.

If there are any Ontario teams out there who have difficulty with transportation but could otherwise make it, we can work something out since we can probably take up to 5 cars in our trailer.

So far, how many FSAE teams are seriously considering to come?

06-16-2004, 10:55 AM
Hey guys,

Formule SAE-Poly will be there for sure if the car gets back in time. If it's all goes well, the car should be back in Toronto for the friday and if all goes well in England, the car should be on the track on the Saturday Morning racing!!! (No major pieces to change or an engine to swap overnight!!)

Can't wait to battle with other FSAE cars.

Great, I just got confirmation that we'll be able to take the car out so we'll definitely be there...Fred, what class should we register in?

Looking forward to seeing all of you,

I'm trying to have the FSAE class on the online registration form put in. In the meantime if you wish to register, you can register in A-modifeid and then send me a mail I will take care of putting you in the FSAE class.

Fred,

I noticed someone registered with #137. This is the umber that is on our car, and we can't change it because the paint would come with the stickers. I'd like to know if we can register with this number knowing that the person with the #137 is running a Subaru Impreza in a completly different class? Also, what should we do for the second driver's number? we can't really change the number between two runs...

Thanks

Hi Didier,

On one note, you will have to register in B-mod, since the FSAE will not be in their own class this year, but Trophies will be awarded to FSAE seperately (yup I'm confused too).

Regarding numbering; numbers are specific to your class i.e. B-mod, since no one has yet registered in B-mod all numbers are available so everything is fine. I've heard this weekend, that Concordia University might also be comming.

Well, I am already registered and I chose A-mod... Can you change it to B-mod then?

Thanks

No problem,

Anyway everything will be reconfirmed when doing tech.

Didier,
You are no longer the only fsae driver on the registration list.

We've registered four of our drivers. We look forward to seeing you there and hope more fsae teams get involved.

Later,
Will

Can someone (preferably one of the organizers) please clarify section 4.1 of the rules please?

This has to do with the license that competitors must have.

It'd not be fun to drive 5 hours to go there only to find out the guys can't drive because of hte lack of club affliation / solo II license.

thanks

Hopefully Fred will confirm this as he sent me the e-mail...

Drivers will require a valid drivers license and a ASN affiliated club membership however the special Solo2/Autoslalom membership is NOT required.

If you are not part of a club then you can also purchase a temporary membership for $20 at the event.

Later,
Will

Will's post is corect ( I did send him the email http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif )

There is no competition licensed required, just a valid drivers license.

Membership to the an ASN affiliated club (it does not have to be solo 2 specific) is required, but it includes also SCCA affiliated clubs. For those without such membership, an event affiliation is available at a cost of 20$ and will be valid for the 3 days.

I would also like to remind you that you are welcomed to camp on the site itself(it is without shower/drinking water facilities, but the price is right 0$ http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif), most of the organisers and competitors will be camping at the track.

The main goal of the event is to have a blast !!!

I have some additional details for this weekend competition,

Friday the gates will open at 9:30 AM to enable people to set-up, Saturday and Sunday it will be before 7:00 AM.

For the competition, Saturday and Sunday, 4 runs will be run, 2 per waves. The field will be seperated in 3 groups. i.e. you do 2 runs, then when the next group is running, you do your pylon duty, when the 3rd group is running you have a break. We then start the whole process again after. There will be a snack bar for Saturday and Sunday, but none on Friday.

To any interested teams, a local club is holding a lapping day at the Sanair track on the 17th; I figure we should have enough break time to get a few laps in and it's a nice opportunity to try out a "real" road course.

Unfortunately the cost is 120$ but I should be able to get a discount if enough FSAE cars show up, and it's per car, not per driver.

Let me know if you're interested-

We're desperately looking for a kaizer rim, 13X6, 4X100 bolt pattern. If a team that is coming have one to lend us, it would be really appreciated.

If you have a pair of any rims of this size, it would be perfect too.

A teammate of mine broke one of our rims in testing, and the only thing we found so far are infinitely heavy Volkswagen steel rims, all rusted of course.

So if you can help us, we'd greatly appreciate it!!

Salut Fred,

will the results be posted on the CADL website?

We could not make it since the car is still on its way back from England but would like to see how FSAE have performed.

Here are the results:
http://cadl.qc.ca/cac/results/cac2004resultsweb.pdf

Congrats to Ryerson and Waterloo for setting the overall FTDs on Saturday and Sunday...cool guys too. ÉNA had a really lousy weekend, it started with our usual intake leak problems (thus comforting me in my belief that K&N air filter oil truly is the corrosive spawn of Satan- let's just say it doesn't get along well with gelcoat or bonded plastic). After gunking up the intake with sealant the car ran decently and, looking only at first runs, Didier placed 4th on 7- so we could've been competitive. Unfortunately sometime on Saturday one of the ground wires came loose and the engine ran like crap for the rest of the competition; we found the problem just a few minutes after the last B-mod runs on Sunday afternoon...ah, the joys of FSAE cars.
