Spring Tour: May 28, 2011

This event is open to all sport car enthusiasts, not just rotaries. Actually rotaries are in short supply.

http://springtour.c7performance.com/default.html

I've heard about this same group doing a fall tour east of GTA. But this spring event is on the west side. Details to follow.

I'm actually interested in doing this.
But I gotta get the car ready for the season... if I can get enough time to get her out of winter hibernation, I wouldn't mind doing a nice spring tour.

The Spring Tour will happen on Saturday May 28th 2011 and since the Fall Tour occurs in the east end, it was only fair to have the Spring Tour happen in the west end.

http://springtour.c7performance.com/

The waiver which all drivers have to sign will be available on the website and as well the day of the event. If you do not have the signed waiver you will not be able to attend the event.

Pre-run with EMT of C7 and 1-2 representatives of each car club will occur prior to the Spring Tour. The date for the pre-run is Sunday May 22 at noon. We would like for a representative from each club to come to the pre-run so that we can discuss the day of the tour and any other imperative issues. Please email lyla@c7performance.com once you have chosen your representative and have the SUBJECT of the email “PRERUN.” We would like to know no later than Wednesday May 18.Just like the Fall Tour, the same concept falls for the Spring Tour. Cars will leave with their club. There will be a few minutes delay between each club leaving the starting point onto the route, so please be patient. Maps of the route will be given the night before as we do a final pre-run on the Saturday to ensure no construction is happening. It will, as well be given the day of the Spring Tour.

Starting point will be: AMC lot at Winston Churchill and QEW in Oakville around the Homewood Suites hotel
Time to arrive: 9am
Time cars start departing: 10am first group, other groups following in 5 minutes increments
End point: Cayuga Speedway
For those who are looking to take part in the track stuff here is a breakdown of the costs, remember this is not mandatory but a fun option

Dragway $20
Both Tracks $90

What kind of event is this? there's next to no info on the site. and it seems like no rx7' s are listed, and our clubs aren't even represented in the sign up section.

Who's going from here? who's our representative?

Neo, get that car out of there yesterday!

John, are you going. May be interested only because of the track time, how long is the cruise. Need more details like what the time we arrive at TMP for lapping.

I have never done this cruise before, so I have no experience.
The website is a little sparce.
I contacted the event coordinator and nominated myself as the RX7Club representative. We are meeting on Sunday and doing a Pre-run. I'll post an update after that.

I did the PreRun yesterday. We started in the rain, but then it cleared up.
I met up with some of the C7Performance organizers of this event. We talked about signup for TMP.
This is what Lyla said...

If you are looking to pre-register for the road course. Go to the site, on the top look for "open lapping" click, choose Sat May 28th and the price should show $130 but make sure you put the coupon code and it will put the price to $70 once it goes over to TMP.

If you are looking to pre-register for dragway. Go to the site, on the top look for 'dragstrip" click, choose Sat May 28th and the price should show something like $60 but make sure you put the coupon code and it will put the price to $20 once it goes over to TMP.

The coupon code is C70528

If you have any issues please email lyla@c7performance.com and Lyla will help you through the issues.

As well you can call TMP and pre-register via phone

1-866-824-7723 and identify yourself as wanting to pre-register for the C7 Spring Tour. Make sure you specify if you want to register for open lapping/dragstrip or both.
At the start of the cruise, they will be handing out Discount Cards for TMP. With it, you will only pay $5 to enter; without it you will pay full price of $20.

Lastly, my car overheated a couple times during the 2 hour Pre-run course. I think I may have done some damage. I may not be able to do this actual run next weekend.

Oh man.. that sucks... how long before you noticed you overheated?

I would attend, but I'm finally getting the FD back on the road that weekend. It'll probably take most of Sat. and a bit of Sun.

At least the FD will be back on the road and ready for the rest of the season.

Hope it nothing to serious, maybe just the thermostat. Luckily you didn't have the problem at DGRR, hopefully you'll get it sorted out by the weekend. I'll talk to Doug this evening about pre-register for the road course, I hope you'll make it out!

Couldn't get the car started Saturday morning, so I missed the cruise.
(Discovered a loose cable later that day.)

Looks like the weather cooperated...
