Re: Vernon Race Schedule?

I can make the Eliminator and 3 of the other 10 events. Busy summer. May 31, Aug 16 and 30th conflict with Pitt Meadows and Aug 23 with the Canadian Nationals. I am not complaining though. Just noting.

Doesn't Bruce have a computer or a phone where he is? :roll: Middle of March is leaving it kind of late.

Vernon Race Schedule?

Re: Silly Season - New to me car

I understand that I have a huge learning curve ahead. I also understand that the only skill I have is the ability to see the race lines. Cars are sorta brand new to me other then the grocery getters and attitude towards driving in general. The MR2 is just a toy car for me replacing my bikes. Had I ...

Re: Silly Season - New to me car

I miss that Corolla. It was fun. I never knew it had a rev limiter or that it could corner that fast with the right tires until I started autocross. You had to have 3/4 tank full of gas or you would fuel starve on left hand turns. I wish I new then what I know now about racing though. I don't miss t...

Re: Thoughts on the new 200 treadwear rule?

I had the option of choosing tires with 140 TW rating when they were legal. I didn't because because based on the few tire comparisons out there on light weight cars and wanting a more substantial tire for the weight of my vehicle. I found the tire worked well and was very competitive even against c...
