Northwestern Weekend Competiton

[Kevin Hall]

Hey guys

Anyone interested in coming to Calgary AB in late July / Early August for a weekend FSAE event, please let me know. Teams I am expecting to make an appearance (just speculation):

University of Saskatchewan
University of Regina
University of Calgary
University of Alberta
University of Manitoba
University of Victoria
University of British Columbia
University of Tuktoyaktuk
Western Washington University

I'd like to get as many teams out as possible, so please let me know ASAP. Ten teams would make a good weekend race, so lets make it happen. If you want more information, email me at knh208@mail.usask.ca and I will try to fill you in.

what kind of ideas do you have for the event? similar to competition? with judging? or strictly racing? what kind of races?

(Tuktoyuktuk has a team? - cool)

I think we'd simply be having races. There are two options......small entry fee and prizes, or a free for all race with basic bragging rights at the end of it......perhaps some good video (maybe media) footage for proof.

Of course Tuk U has a team. http://www.tuk-u.com

If we do it the same weekend as a Calgary Sports Car Club Event, which is every weekend as far as I know, we could basically have our own class on their track, and arrange for another location to do skidpad, acceleration, etc. Of course we'll be playing it safe with everything, but as far as I know we (U of S) will have 2 cars in attendance. Our 2000 car with an unrestricted F2, and our 2004 car. We weren't able to make it this year, as we ran out of machining time, but they now have it sprung, and will be testing soon.

Any other questions, feel free to ask!

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for posting this, I haven't really had the time this summer to organize much yet. I will be around alot more after June 22st though and I can really help out then. The University of Calgary will be there forsure, however we will only have one car (maybe 2 if we can actually finish the 2005 car by September like we plan http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif) Anyway, should be a good weekend and I hope that quite a few teams can make it. For more infornation of the facilities in Calgary check out http://www.racecity.com/home.php. This is the likely location of any event.

If this weekend race is going to happen, we need to see an interest. All you Western Canuck teams would be crazy to miss it. Any suggestions as to what would make it the perfect weekend would also be helpful. Thanks in advance

The University of Idaho may be interested, if we don't have the car tore apart for next year's team. Keep us informed.

Due to complications, this event is postponed until mid-September, and may take place in Saskatoon. There is planned media coverage, and will be an excellent time.
