Wankers in action...Marshall9 and Tim H....two well off guys that don't know how to drive, out having fun. :ha: We don't need Mr. Landon's blessing, he can stay in Ft. Lauderdale, if he doesn't think we should be on the track, wasting perfectly good race cars.
Tim H
Tim H's brother Ken H
New ApexSpeeder Jim Edmonds
Wanker start
:D
yup, your previous car, great picture and he is a great guy, on and off track.Quote:

Maybe if I borrow Marshall's semi rig I can bring a couple of karts, too.
Scott's pretty new to the sport but learning fast. And having a hoot of a time..

Thanks for hooking him up, Mike.
What tire are you guys running? I assume it is a spec tire for your racing sanction?
It's great to hear that he's having a blast.:thumbsup:Quote:

I can recommend them without reservation.
I had so much fun watching you guys, I had to buy one and will be out with you the next couple of weekends.
Did I hear you bought the Vector? Gorgeous car at a good price.Quote:

Yes I did buy the Vector. Leaving bright and early tomorrow to go pick it up in Oklahoma.
Mark,
It was nice meeting and talking with you at the last event. I look forward to racing with you. Safe travels. Let me know when you get back, I would love to come and see the new car.

Qualified 13 of 33 in Montreal today. Not bad for an old Club Ford...
Jim Edmonds must have had some problem that doesn't show on the limited MyLaps chart, and it looks like Mark Powell barely got off the grid. And is Rob Ashley back in the Zink?
Awesome! Thanks for the update. :thumbsup:
They updated the Qualifying timesheet with actual lap times, and I'm afraid none of our group did very well. I'd hoped to get back and delete my post before anybody noticed my error, but of course Mike is on top of everything ApexSpeed.Quote:

No worries... it's only qualifying! ;)
I'm not sure where the three of use ended up in qualifying, I know towards the back. BUT, wow what a great experience to be here with F1 and lining up in the hot pits with all of the F1 teams still there working on their cars.
I count only 6 Ford powered cars in the paddock. Every other car is part of a very serious Honda powered fully supported race team, dedicated mechanic or two per car, corner balance every session, etc, etc. This is the big leagues of FF racing.
Anyone have a link for the T&S?
Never mind, found it http://www.siteformulatour1600.com/
It does appear that a Ford is up front though. Also, it's a Vector....you can do it Mark !
Saturday Montreal race video highlights - missed shifts and all...

Looks like a blast ! Glad you got to do this, hopefully the missed shifts won't be top in your memory of this great experience.
X post so everyone subscribed to this thread gets the info.

You mean I finally have to join Facebook? Even this might not be enough..
Your car went to the Montreal F1 support race:
I was glad to hear Scott had a great trip.
Thanks for the pic!:thumbsup:
