CASC-OR Celebrates Canada's 150th Birthday

Author: race director / Tag: CASC-OR / 0 Comments

You may have noticed at Registration and/or on competitors' vehicles a new decal for this year - CELEBRATE 2017.  These may be used in place of or (or in addition to) the normal CASC-OR decals we run on our cars.  A supply was given to each Division Director - Race has the most and they should be available to anyone that asks at event Registration.  I know we handed out 1000 at the VARAC Vintage Grand Prix and we'll keep handing them out until they are gone...

Happy 150th birthday Canada!  The true north strong and free...

2017 Race Licence Schools (80 days until we're back on track!)

Author: race director / Tag: Road Racing / 0 Comments
I am sending this note to the competitor community in the hopes that you will forward it to whomever you know that is "new" to racing and still needs to apply for a CASC-OR competition licence.
 
As you know, the most important element of the race licence application is the driver's on-track experience.  In the last couple of years, thanks to Ray Arlauskas, the Chief Regional Race Instructor, we've increased the number of licences that we are granting based on "observation", instead of attending a school.  The schools are still very important and may provide someone new to the sport with a quick way to accumulate on-track experience.
