ATTS - Event 2

It's Time!!

[BigPoppa]

Thanks for attending, it takes a huge amount of organization and concerted efforts to put something like that together. The audience and the format is new for most that attended, meaning that there were lots of potentials for organization errors. We took the lessons learned from event 1 and applied them here (except for the microphone battery) and from the perspective of the organizers, seemed to function well.

We're looking for feedback (good and bad) on how we can improve. The net result will be a better, more fun, more exciting event for newcomers.

The official results will be posted on the SPDA and www.atts-online.ca web site within the next couple of days. But until then, here's some interesting stats:

A HUGE Thanks goes out to the competitors, since without you there would be no event. You guys braved the potential adverse weather to come out and enjoy the day. Luckilly for us, the Marshals and everyone I spoke to except for Klaus, had a conversation with Mother Nature, and she cooperated with a bit of concession.

Sunny and dry in the morning, very WET during the lunch break, sunny and dry during the afternoon sessions. It couldn't have turned out any better than that.

Also a HUGE thanks to the team members that put this together, whom without, would have made it impossible to assemble this event.

Lastly, a double HUGE thanks to our sponsors, JRP, Toyo Tires, Talon Tires, Hawk, Royal Purple, Forge Motorsports, Apex-I, Vibrant Performance, etc.

Next event is Dunville Autodrome in 1 month, with Touge.
