Well... since we're looking back ( WAYBACK)..... I gotta reminisce about racing with Bruce McIntosh at the Glen & elsewhere..... certainly the good old days.

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...

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

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

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...

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....
