I've used the steering dampers for years... and they've worked well... Even able to catch ( tho not pass) Al ;-)

and when one breaks at the mount--- a replacement costs only $25 - $30 !!!

Dennis

Congrats to Ray....
Now that folks are back to this hemisphere... is there a comprehensive report on how all our drivers did.... along with the required amusing anecdotes ?
Thanks

Dennis

I gotta agree with Matt.

Best of Luck to Ray , Dean, Rob & Johan (who got this all going).

any suggestions where, on the web, we'll be able to follow their exploits ?

Dennis

Thanks--

Good for both the "want grass" and "want pavement" crowds...... and close to the restrooms too ;-)

Dennis

It certainly looks to be a great weekend to wrap up the season.
a lot of track time..

Does anyone have any idea where we'll all be paddocking? It'll have to be a large enuf area to handle all...

WOW--
Just checked out the supps. Looks like it'll be a fine weekend.

For those arriving early -- or anytime...... can we select one area of the several paddock areas to keep all the FVCC gang...

First Post Nailed It !

Just WOW ---- it couldn't have been more fun.and close racing.

Woo Hooo !

we have 20 entries

10 Sherman Engler White,red 0 Protoform Express Oil Change
14 Johan Wasserman Green 1995 Mysterian M2 Vallis Motorsport
31...

Last year, we entered thru Motorsport Reg..... but paid at the track..

Would early registration, and at track payment suffice to avoid the late fee?

Thanks

dennis

Ditto to all the THANKS comments above --- Great concept and excellent delivery of that concept.

Looking forward to attending even more events in 2016.

And, don't worry Al... I think my...

Thanks for the heads up on the tech--
I hope to get there mid-day on Fri ( If I can survive towing past Toronto ;-)

Much appreciation to all for making this as comfortable as possible for...

Thanks for all the reply's -- I guess I'll bring some, but not an excess amount.

I gotta say tho-- Ray's response made me LOL -- A Lucky man to have Trina on his team !!!

Dennis

Would one be able to purchase fuel at the track... or should I just be sure I bring up a couple cans full ?
Thanks
Dennis

Not that Vees EVER use the runoffs....

Thanks...

Looking forward to matching faces to all youz guyz ( a Buffalo-ism) on the forum.

Dennis

Sicko :-)

But that being said-- it'll be fun to be in a large bunch-o-Vees again.. ( BTW I was at Mosport many years ago and loved it... looks like the basic layout hasn't changed.. tho runoffs...

I'm IN !

BRD Flamingo-C # 77

( Gotta use those tires I got from Greg R.)

Dennis

Great news ... I was a little concerned 'cuz I usually get my annual done at the 1st event of the year.
Does he take payment in "Blue" or "Golden" :-)
Dennis

+++ 1 on Ray's Kudos. It was great seeing everyone !
Dennis

Now this might sound condescending --and I know you're worked on vees for years -- but did you adjust all your brake shoes out to near race position before bleeding ? I once chased a problem like...

just got this info from Sandi Kryder

Here is the correct 2014 Kryderacing Series schedule:




April 27 Steel Cities - Double PIRC
June 14-15 Steel Cities PIRC
June 21-22 Finger Lakes...

I'll get you for THAT Ray !!!

and re registering via MSreg.... I've heard that ocassionally ( especially in special situations) their system can't handle it correctly. I understand you can...

Uh Oh -- looks like another opportunity for me to race more this fall...

I looked at the supps. How will grid positions be set fo the Sunday race ??

Dennis

I'm in.. but not on M-reg yet.

Looking forward to seeing our friends from the West at the Glen.

Dennis

First off -- HEY -- It'll be good to see you, we missed you at the earlier events this year..

and re the start... no decision would be made before the event. However, some diplomatic lobbying...

Great chats with Vee and FFirst folks, great racing and dramatic spins ( DOHHH !)

As I was leaving I thought to myself : "THIS is why I've continued to be doing this for so many years"

We do...

I have a Simpson Hybrid Pro that works well in my reclining BRD Flamingo C ( a Lynx clone). It has a lower collar in back & fits far better than a HANS. it also has helmet clips I can attach myself...

Congratulations Guy....

Good Drive !!

Dennis
