Busy busy busy

Not a lot of updates, things are pretty hectic. Lets see…

The Atlantic Region Motorsports AGM was last weekend. Mostly status quo for the next year. We have new race rules written by Bruce McNutt which will be circulated for comments ending December 15th and formally posted for the 2009 season on January 15th. Race fees are up a bit as well but everyone expected that.

On the Rally side of things we’re looking at having a great 2009 Season! Subaru Canada and the Subaru Canada Maritime Dealers Association have donated $1000 to the ARMS Navigational Rally Series for prize money! This means we’ll be splitting $500 to the top Experienced and Novice teams for the 2009 NAVEX rally series! That ought to get the competition brewing! Combine that with the BAC RallyCross seasin which kicked off this past weekend and the RallySprint event this spring I really think this will be an excellent year for rally enthusiasts in our area! Oh yeah, and I was appointed the Regional NAVEX Rally Director.

As I said the 08/09 RallyCross season kicked off, we had a test and tune at AMP a few weeks ago that was fairly well attended and a very white event at SSW yesterday. The Audi is still eating fuel filters while we de-crud the tank but thats expected. Of course it works better when we HAVE the filters in the car to swap. Unfortunately Daph and I will be missing Event #2 which is it for 2008.
