2 Open House to Use for Track Time
There are 2 open house coming up shortly which may set the tone the for time you spend on track this season.
First is the Ontario Time-Attack Open house at JRP in Mississauga on Saturday April 2. This is your first opportunity to register for an Ontario Time-Attack event for the 2016 season, whether it be a school, lapping or competition event. If you just want to try your car on the race track of feel you want to test yourself against the clock and fellow competitors, Ontario Time-Attack is the place to be. No other group offers such a wide variety of tracks or choice in competition styles in Ontario. All you need is a car, helmet and CASC club membership (OMSC is selling theirs for $20 at the open house which includes all the barbeques banquets and $10 discount for every autoslalom we run)
New for this year are cheaper prices than last year and NO licence fee. Can't beat that. Check out http://www.casc.on.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=32866
Second is the Introduction to Motorsports Open House on the evening of Tues April 5 at Clarington Hyundai. This is an introduction to all the CASC sanctioned motorsport disciplines including Autoslalom, Time-Attack, Ice Racing and Road Racing. Hard to be a car enthusiast and not want to explore the limits of your car. This Open House will get you up close and personal with folks experienced in all these disciplines who can likely steer you (pun intended) in the right direction. Be prepared to become addicted....and love it.
For more info check out http://www.oshawamotorsportclub.com/ but note we will be further east at Clarington Hyundai in Bowmanville and not at the regular Whitby Yacht club.

Some of you are aware of the Ontario Time Attack rules which try to compare drivers of different cars to see who is the best driver
Now for this year we also have the Raw Time Challenge (RTC) which looks at who is the best driver/car combination within a very few rules.
Here are the classification particulars re RTC. No need for dynos, car weights, PIP schedules etc. Just run what you brung
Ontario Time-Attack Bulletin Mar 28/2016
Ontario Time-Attack will be adding 4 additional classes to the Mobil 1 Ontario Time-Attack Series Championship for 2016. All entrant cars must have started as street chassis vehicles (i.e. no tube frame or race chassis only cars). The new classes will be known as Raw Time Challenge classes and are based on weight to horsepower ratios of the competing car as it was delivered from the manufacturer. The rules are designed to be very “loose” allowing a number of modifications. For drivers choosing to run in the Raw Time Challenge classes, this bulletin replaces most of sections 3 to 6 of the Ontario Time-Attack rule book. Please note that sections 1 and 2 of the rule book apply to all Ontario Time-Attack classes as do sections 3.5 to 3.8.
The new classes known as RTC for Raw Time Challenge are defined below
Base Classes:
RTC3: OEM power to weight ratio of greater than 15 lbs/hp.
RTC2: OEM power to weight ratio of greater than 11 to 15 lbs/hp.
RTC1: OEM power to weight ratio of greater than 7 to 11 lbs/hp.
RTC Unlimited: Power to weight ratio of under 7 lbs/hp.
Note that all engine modifications, chassis lightening, suspension modifications, gearing modifications and aerodynamic modifications are allowed with the following exceptions:
Engine swap: For any car with an engine swap, power to weight ratio must be re-calculated based on manufacturer published OEM horsepower of the engine being swapped in.
Aftermarket or non OE turbochargers or Superchargers: The addition of a turbocharger or supercharger to a vehicle or the changing of an existing turbocharger or supercharger to a device not sold OEM for that vehicle will move the vehicle classification to the next fastest class.
Tires:
Using tires of a UTQG rating of 60 to 139 will move a car to the next fastest class
Using tires with a UTQG rating of 59 or less will move a car to the class that is 2 classes faster
Racing Slicks can only be used in RTC Unlimited class
Special safety requirements for RTC Unlimited: All RTC unlimited cars require roll over protection as well as the driver must use a nomex or similar type fire protection suit unless the car comes OEM with less than 7 lb/hp. All cars using racing slicks must have roll over protection and the driver must wear a nomex or similar fire protection suit.
Scoring: Scoring will not use the PAX system and will be based on the fastest time in class as follows
100 points for first in class
70 points for second in class
50 points for third in class
30 points for fourth in class
20 points for fifth in class
10 points for sixth in class
Points will be cumulative over the season with the class winners based on best accumulated points for 5 out of 6 events.
