Daily Itinerary

Airdrie Air Park

• 10:00am – Gates Open, drive to and park in PITS as shown on map below (20km/hr speed limit on runway)  
• 10:45am – Gates Close, no entry after this time (Gate is electronically locked and not manned full time during event. Exit under emergency situations only.)
• 11:00am - On-Site Mandatory Check-In (with timing vehicle) & Vehicle Tech Inspection Close 
• 11:00am – Course open for walking/Guided Course Walk (aka Rookie Course Walk)/Group 1 cars may move to grid
• 11:40am – Mandatory Drivers Meeting - Group 1 cars must be in grid with all equipment needed to run/Group 1 Workers ready to work after meeting.
• 12:00pm - First car out, start of timed runs
• 5:30pm – Timed Runs Must Finish, Takedown & Cleanup 
• 6:30pm – Everything must be off-site, Runway Now Active 

NOTE: Anyone that has not checked in with the timing vehicle prior to 11:00am will not be allowed to run that day, no exceptions. Online registration is different from the on-site check-in with the workers in the timing vehicle.

Additional Notes about Airdrie Airpark Site:

• This is a new site for our club, some of the timing and logistics will be flexible in the day, but we cannot enter the runway until 10:00am and must vacate it completely by 6:30pm. We appreciate everyone's effort to help this event run as smooth and as quickly as possible. This time restraint is the reasoning behind the 60 vehicle cap
• Due to the configuration of the site, and the electronic code, the gate will only be manned for the start of the day and the end of the day. If you need to leave the site for any reason it may be done by request. This will be discussed at the drivers meeting once we have finalized run groups.
• There will be no lunch break, the only breaks will be between heats depending on group orientation. Please make sure to bring food with you for the day, try your best to eat prior to the start of the event and eat between running/working, again depending on group configuration.
• The site configuration is similar to Fort Macleod that there is not free access between pit and grids, please make sure you have everything with you at your car when you bring it to grid, it will take a long time to walk back to the pits to get anything
• The portable washrooms will be at the north end of the runway, and we will be at the south, please keep this in mind throughout the day.
• Finally, please respect the site speed limit and show respect for the property as it is an active runway.
• A map of the site is below with the specific areas.
• Any questions, please ask.

Any 1st year regular participant does not qualify for 2nd year Rookie participation.

Scoring will be based on a best of 7 format. Scoring within each of the above superclasses will be based on PAX/RTP of the applicable class. All of the day’s count as a single event except practice events.

PAX/RTP values can be found here: https://www.autoxandtrack.com/scca-autocross-2018-pax-index-comparison/

Prizes
Top 1 driver from each of the above mentioned superclasses will receive a jacket
Top 3 drivers from each of the above mentioned superclasses will receive a trophy 


Sound Policy
We have a strict sound policy; The measurement will be taken at a point where the vehicle can reasonably be expected to be under load at full throttle. The measuring point will be 50 feet from the edge of the course using an ANSI Type 2 sound meter set to “A” weighting, “Slow” response. The microphone will be placed 3-4 feet above ground level, positioned perpendicular to vehicle direction of travel. Measurement will be taken at a minimum of 1 sound station but usually 2, rules apply for both stations. 

If a vehicle registers a reading between 91.0-92.9dB the driver(s) will be given a courtesy warning that they are near the limit. 

If a vehicle registers a reading at 93.0dB or greater the driver must make a mechanical change to the vehicle (ex. install a turn-down1, install a silencer, close an exhaust valve(s)2 etc.), the mechanical change must be shown to and accepted by the Event Chair or other SASC Executive member prior to the next run. A “mechanical delay” is permissible to make this change. If during the next run the driver(s) registers a second reading at 93.0dB or greater that vehicle will not be allowed to continue running (for both drivers in case of a two driver car). 

Vehicles that register below the 92.9dB maximum in the measured section(s) of the course but are found to be excessively loud (eg. exhaust backfire, tire squeal etc.) in other sections of the course may also not be allowed to continue running if so deemed by the Event Chair or other SASC Executive member. 

Drivers of vehicles that blow over within their first two runs will receive their money back should they be unable to make a successful mechanical change and not able to continue their runs in a different vehicle. If the vehicle blows over after the first two runs refunds will not be issued.

Please note that this also applies to showroom stock vehicles, we are aware that there are a very small handful of unmodified cars (ex. Porsche 911 GT3 and Ford Mustang 350R) that can exceed the 92.9dB maximum, these vehicles must still adhere to the sound policy.  

Our sound policy is based on the SCCA’s which can be found in Appendix 1 of the rules located here: https://www.scca.com/pages/solo-cars-and-rules

1. Turndowns can only be installed pointing directly upwards, downwards, or rearwards, pointing the turndown 90° away from the sound meter is not allowed. 
2. Exhaust valves that are adjustable electronically via the push of a button inside the vehicle are acceptable.
