I got word from Howard Duncan that the SEB has made the Canadian
National Autoslalom Championship and eligible event to be used as a
qualifier for Topeka. This has not appeared in Fastrack but Howard
can confirm it. So if there's anyone who cannot make it to the Rocky
Mountain National Tour on that same weekend, you may consider CNAC as
an alternative.
