Vinland Motorsport Inc - Test and Tune 2021
Event Information
About this event
Registration is now open for Test and Tune at Jack Byrne Arena on May 22, 2021.
Hello everyone, Vinland Motorsport Inc presents the first event of the 2021season at Jack Byrne Arena in Torbay! The 2020 season was a great success with a record turnout and excellent adherence to COVID safety protocols. This is going to be another great season!
Test and tune is a great way to try out those new mods you installed over the winter months, scrub in those fresh tires and to fix any issues before the points events get underway.
Events at JBA are a great opportunity to get new participants out and bitten by the auto-x bug without the need to travel to Bell Island. If you have anyone in your circles that might be interested in attending a VMI event, please reach out to them. Typically your first event is free on Bell Island, however this does not apply to Jack Byrne Arena unfortunately due to additional operational costs associated with this particular venue.
Eventbrite was a great success in 2020, so the club plans to continue to use this platform. Please feel free to reach out to vp@vinland.ca with any comments or suggestions.
Notices:
- Pre-registration is our preferred method in order to allow us to plan the event and prepare run groups and marshall stations in advance.
- Please actively participate in course setup and dismantling at the start and end of the day. Your help and support in doing so does not go unnoticed by event organizers.
