The course design was changed last minute, but turned out to be really great. Due to some timing equipment issues, we got started late and ran into a few [...]

Now for the second event of the double header weekend – and was it ever wet! Torrential downpours overnight and more during the day brought us not just a wet parking lot, but a FLOODED parking lot. Instead of a normal Autocross, this event was a bit different. There would be two cars on the [...]

The weekend of August 6th to August 8th, ASE Lapping Club hosted the 2010 Canadian Autoslalom Championships at the Autodrome St-Eustache, in Quebec.

July 31st was the 5th installment of MCO’s Solo II series, and it was a great one. After a few weeks of being out of commission due to my appendix, I was ready to get back in the driver’s seat. It was another special event as it was for MCO members only, and Jamie designed the [...]
A few weeks ago at the Calabogie evening event, my hydraulic belt tensioner pulley bearing seized and blew up, almost leaving me stranded on the track. I lost my alternator, power steering, and water pump. Fortunately, I was able to get off the track before the car overheated too badly. After a bit of shopping, [...]
Well we’re a little bit behind in our write ups, but a few weeks back (on July 18th), the fourth MCO Solo II event was held at the Scotiabank Place. This one was special as it was the annual inter-provincial cup. Our sister club from across the border in Quebec, CADL, was invited to compete [...]
Friday night, a 5-7pm lapping event was being held at Calabogie. Of the Eurotrash team, there were Chris, Pat, Naresh, and myself driving, and Jamie came up to watch a bit later. Having never lapped before, he wanted to get a feel for what it was. To get the bimmer ready, I had taken the [...]

After taking the Open Road Motorsports Targa School, I have been itching to do a rally to test what I had learned. As peformance rallies are out of the question for now, on-road navigational rallies are the next best (and affordable) option. These rallies are also referred to as Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) rallies.
These events are held on public roads, and speed limits must be obeyed. ... Read More →
Now for the second event of the double header weekend – and was it ever wet!
Torrential downpours overnight and more during the day brought us not just a wet parking lot, but a FLOODED parking lot. Instead of a normal Autocross, this event was a bit different. There would be two cars on the track at once, and would start on opposite sides. The first one to complete a full lap... Read More →
