Im going to be scheduling 2 track days this summer and hoping to get some kind of consensus before inquiring to the base.

IE … One day in July and one in August for example

I want to rule out any portions of the summer months that may coincide with a major influx of holidays, camping or otherwise conflicting schedules with our membership. Although the days may be limited by police training at the facilities, Im hoping to hit a couple “sweet spots” for the membership that the most can attend.

June 20, 21 \<— This one won’t be possible. AFAIK the NASCC (Northern Alberta Sports Car Club) has that whole weekend booked at Namao for their 2-day road race event.

BTW, June 20th is also the Z Club’s show n’ shine which we are hoping will include participation by NECC. (and I’m going to talk to you guys more about that tonight at the Hawlelak (sp) meet hopefully).

Thanks for asking this but I am approaching it in reverse. Confirm the dates that are available (there are usually very few) and I will book my holidays around the track days (if I can).

Common sense here. You must past a basic tech inspection. And as long as you are not knowingly bringing a car which boils over or leaks coolant, you should be fine.

Long pants? As far as I knew, shorts are allowed for a Solo 2 auto-slalom. Can you confirm if you heard different?
