Last Sunday was the first event in the ARMS Regional AutoSlalom championship. It was hosted by Moncton Motorsport Club at the Magic Mountain Parking lot. There was a good turnout. It wasn’t a surprise that Brian took FTD in their BMW… they have a habit of doing that…
Just having finished putting the 510 together, we figured it would be a good idea to bring it out to test it out. It worked better than expected in the autoslalom. Someone took some vids of it.
Results are posted here. Our 510 is in the DMOD class.

MMSC is also hosting the racing at AMP this weekend. There will be a club camp-out at the track on Saturday night. There’s going to be a BBQ. If you’re thinking of coming down to the track, this weekend would be a awesome one.
We brought the 350Z to the Moncton Motorsport AutoSlalom on June 3rd. The weather was beautiful and 17 competitors attended. We scored the FTD run of the evening with a 41.116, nearly 1.5 seconds faster than 2nd spot.
You can check out the results and you can see the onboard video of our FTD run here.

We’re also planning to bring the 350Z to the Regional Autoslalom on June 07 at the Magic Mountain Parking lot in Moncton. Hoping to see lots of new cars from around the region.
Apart from some autoslalom action, I’m happy to say the 510 race car is 100% ready. Every nut and bolt is tighten, it starts, it runs, its READY! We’re going to the June 14 race at Atlantic Motorsport Park in Shubenacadie.
See ya there.
We took the Nissan 350Z to the local MMSC Auto Slalom event yesterday and left with FTD (Fastest Time of the Day). It was our first event using our new Jim Wolf Technology clutch and flywheel upgrade. We were impressed with the result. The car has better response throughout the RPMs. The course was a mix of fast slaloms and tight corners, with speeds reaching near 100km/h on the back sections.

Just an update on our gearbox problem last weekend, it seems that our problem is a bad syncronizer.
Shown here is the transmission shifted into 3rd gear and the shift collar gets jammed by the square block that is indicated by the arrow.
