Hey guys, I’m not sure if many of you have seen the post about the July 17th CSCS event, but I would like to give you some more insight on what’s going on at that event.
I am helping Chris from CSCS organize the gymkhana/drift event.
Firstly, this is going to be wild. It’s 2 minutes away from the beach, so everyone should bring towels and swimming attire. Now a bit more in regards to the actual event.
You can see all the things that will be going on in this thread:

Grand Bend has the fastest drag strip in Ontario, so if you’re into drag racing, you will probably be able to set your best time yet there. The show and shine competitors receive good prizes as well, so all those with show cars, I encourage you to come show off your rides. Now to the more interesting stuff:
We are hoping to set up 2 simultaneous gymkhana courses. All of them will have proper timing equipment and competitors will be able to show their skill against other drivers as well as the clock. We have an idea for the pricing, but it still has to be finalized. Let me just tell you, it’s SO cheap that you would be stupid not to do it. I will speak to Chris further regarding the pricing and post it in this thread later. Here is what the tentative course will look like:
We’re going to be testing this layout tonight and if there are any changes, I will let you guys know so you can go practice it (if you want to win of course).
Drifting will be free to those who are participating in gymkhana and autocross. It will be a course setup for those who want to burn off some rubber, and practice for the gymkhana.
Overall, I’d like to say that this is a huge opportunity for everyone to get their name out. The event has over 3,000 spectators including lots of sponsors. The prizes to those who win will cover all your costs of coming and then some. The track itself is same distance from Toronto as Shannonville. Finally you can put your skills to the test, no more smack talking about who’s a better driver, come to the event and we will all find out there.
Please feel free to give me your thoughts on the event. I’d like to organize a convoy to Grand Bend, maybe even the night before so people can party it up at the beach.
