Well, time to start wrenching for next year.  ;)

Regrettably, we have decided to cancel ASA Event 8 which was scheduled for September 16th. The weather will be a snow/rain mix at the start time, and just above zero deg C. We only had a couple people signed up, and your money will be refunded. We will be having an end of season gathering, dates and details to follow. Thanks for your continued understanding and support.

Yup, unless you just want to run with TJ.

I would want it more for safety because i am pretty sure there is no way you can pass the broomstick test with a helmet on.

I mean, you're preaching to the choir, I feel way safer with my rollbar.

But if you just want to do a couple laps to get some WOT 3rd gear, TJ exists.

Lack of roll bar also didn't stop G from time attack in the past.

I'd rather be safe than sorry, I think my head sticks well above the stock roll protection. From what I have heard Track Junkies is fairly expensive. $300 for a day of 3 guaranteed  20 minutes sessions with a possible 4th. ASA lapping is 3 20 minutes sessions for 120, If I am remembering right when I did it in the WRX. Although it would be nice to see what the other half of the course is like at speed...

I would want it more for safety because i am pretty sure there is no way you can pass the broomstick test with a helmet on.
  Yeah, I just fit in it. Seat is all the way back and I wouldn't want it any more forward.

Wow, I love that shot! 

Unrelated, but your boy Sheldon in an RSX was killing it in Red Deer.

Good!  I miss that the ASA Club championship no longer counts (or requires!) a WCMA regional event.  It's important to travel & meet & race more than just the same group of people and cars.
