Trophies and champagne for the Winners!


The 2005 ASN Canada FIA Canadian SoloSprint Championship took place at Shannonville on August 21 under beautiful late summer sunny skies. 

The host organizing club for the event, the HADA Motorsport Club headed by energetic John Paczynski, did a fantastic job in setting-up and operating the Shannonville facility, ably assisted by members of the ASN National Solosport Committee and CASC-OR's Solo Ontario group headed by Chris Sorenson.

Seventy-five competitors took to the track for the Championship.  As the practice sessions unfolded, participants soon realized that the competition was at a very high level and between sessions much time was spent under the hood adjusting engines and under the fenders tweaking suspension settings.  Tire pressure gauges were in abundance.

The official lapping sessions started.  Drivers worked hard to post fast times early knowing that speed and consistency are the two most important elements of SoloSport.  The kerbs were being used to their fullest and puffs of dust could be seen around the track while drivers avoided the dreaded four-wheels-off penalty.

Adding to heightened competition, the timing and scoring team were on top of things all day and competitors knew where they stood within minutes of a track session.

It wasn't long before previous record lap speeds began to fall and "wows" were heard at the bulletin board.

With rubber being laid down around the track, drivers had to adjust to the changing conditions to gain a competitive edge.  And adjust they did with times getting faster and faster.

A few "ooops" "offs" were noted as the final laps were completed.  Only one car went home on a flat bed.  No one was injured (except for a few bruised egos). 

As the podium ceremonies drew to a close with the popping of champagne corks, there was no doubt about the quality of the day and the quality of the event.  Many drivers logged their best personal performances ever as new records were set.  A great ending to some outstanding competition.

Everyone congratulated the winners and the volunteer organizers for a spectacular event and are looking forward to the ASN Canada FIA 2006 National SoloSprint Championships.
