Man that was fun!!! If you've never tried it you should. Totally made the 2 years of rebuilding the tib worth it.

I ended up getting 1st in modified class. There were 7 cars there and I was dead middle at #4 over all.

The results will be posted up here (not up just yet):

There was jenson-healey there as well but I missed it in the photo's, I thought I was going to have time to get a few more photos but never did!

yup, we are a very small chapter. I think there are 16 total members. This one wasn't very well attended either. We were missing a lancer, sti, evo, celica and some other cars that usually come.

is their a Canadian version of scca?

http://www.scca.ca/ - NOT the same thing...

THIS however is the same thing:

http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~bac/

Might be able to talk to them about a solo, looks like they are mainly into rally though but their site says the organize solo's. They might know who to talk to or if their is another organization around that does primarily solo.

How many runs do you get with a group that small? We usually get 3-5, but we usually have 100+ entrants.

Looks like a really good result for your first showing. I am usually slightly below the middle of the pack.
