I don't think trying to run a Canadian even IN PLACE OF the shootout makes any sense, but possibly IN ADDITION TO the shootout it might? If it were located somewhere near the Ontario / Quebec border to attract participants from both provinces, it MIGHT have a chance at being a decent event.

Hm that's a good point. Find a place that middle for most, and would like to have some nice roads to cruise through to get there, which is at least my favourite part of the invasion.

We have trouble getting 5 DSMs together on the Quebec side at once, it's just not like the old days. It would be nice though.

Seems like most of the DSM guys in Ontario are in the GTA, which is a long haul from the QC border, Canada is so spread out it makes it difficult.

Ohio is far for me but it's the one chance per year to catch up to friends from all over North America. I also go for the chance to see the big guys, the ones setting records or at least attempting to, I can see 9-12 second cars here on occasion.

I agree with Ziggy, I'm not thinking about replacing it but even if it were to start as a test and tune day... I mean I get people are busy, some DSM's spend more time on jack stands then pavement.
I also shouldn't speak as meets for me have been a thing of the past but for me life has now spun a new bearing so I'd like to be a part of the meets more often if possible.

Maybe this will be the year that all these DSM'rs will get their cars running during the winter and spring time will flourish that good old DSM pride! LOL...
Won't be holding my breath!

Oh mine runs... It's a major garage queen and trailer princess though.

I might trailer it to the S/O next year.

This is why I keep pushing Shannonville/armdrop events! It almost the half way point from Kitchener to Montreal.

2 days of racing. Including prepped timeslip drag racing, road course racing, strip clubs and drive in movie theaters, and then another day of grudge match raw unprepped runway racing! With lots of good places to camp, swim, part y.

Please elaborate

HAHA...

I'm hoping to make it out the Arm drop if the Lancer is Boosted already.

We can't even get 4 cars together fit a free Fri night drag. No way would we be able to replace the Shootout. For you to even suggest it leads me to believe you have never attended one. Every major shop is there with their race cars. STM, English Racing, Magnus, espec, etc. Cscs is our local event but I never see any of you there.

I plan on making a 3.5 hour drive to Cayuga for at least 1 event this year... With both cars.. And If I can.. I'd like to come up and race in Quebec with Jason Drew as Well. Is like to some day say I've raced every public drag strip around.

Napierville is about the same for you as Cayuga then, about 3.5 hours. I'll be there on the 17th/18th of Sept and on the 10th of October for sure, probably other dates as weather permits.

Again.. 17th is Shannonville/Armdrop weekend.

But October 10th you say???

Yup, I have to be there for the SSPA competition both weekends.

I am in this boat though, not sure how many others are in this group but this summer was far more busy than I anticipated and the car needed more work than I assumed. Next season would be great!

im always at CSCS lol

Test n tune Friday night.

Jason Drew in front.. Then Mike K, then Byron, Then me.

Matt wasnt there yet.
